Herefordshire memories
Memories of A Bygone Era :
My glorious childhood summer holidays were spent with relatives living at Bradlow - and especially my grandfather (died 1947) with whom I would go for walks into the Frith Woods to collect logs and kindling sticks for the open fires. On Sundays there would be attendance at St.Michael's and All Angels Church - best outfits for these occasions! Fridays would be visits to Ledbury Town calling in at Kington's the Butchers : Borne the Chemist : Tilley's the Stationers - and above all Frank Lewis for Grandad's weekly tobacco supplies! Those were the days - such wonderful happy memories. There's lots I could write - and lots I would love to share with anyone who is interested! Will write more - have only just found the site but time limited today.
My Grandfather's Memories of Ledbury as A Boy
My grandfather, Percy Sturge was born in Ledbury in 1896 and here are some of his memories he related to me when he was in his 90's. His mother, Annie, had lived by the Brewery Inn and one granny lived in Puddlinghams Yard (All Saints), another lived down by the bridge. One day one of his grannies came home carrying a faggot of hops on her head. Several brothers lived by The White Hart and one worked at the Talbot Inn. Grandfather and his parents lived in Bye Street and his mother took him to see the celebrations at the Relief of Mafeking during the Boer War in 1900. His great-grandfather was a master shoemaker who wore silver buckles on his shoes. He had the chance to buy Ledbury for £25 [unfortunately he didn't].

Hanley Swan 1930s on
Hello Readers, I am doing a little bit of research for my father-in-law dating back to the 1930s. Hanley Swan Boys Home, People you know, places, your Memories. Any information would be a heaven sent. This is quite important to him. I will add bits and pieces of his memories as they come to hand. As I am only just starting out on this venture I do not have much to share at present. Stay posted. Thank you Lisa
Home of The Good Shepherd
I'm writing on behalf of my husband Ronald Jones. He was in The Home of the Good Shepherd, Hanley Swan, Worcestshire. He was there from approx. 1937 to 1943, when he was 11. Has anyone any memories of this time? Would be grateful for any information.
Simmonds Hanley Castle
I am researching the Simmonds family who lived in Quay Lane in Hanley Castle about 1900. My father recalls the floods of the early 1900s when Quay Lane flooded and he was trapped up stairs with his mother, Alice Simmonds.
Does any one out there have any information on the Simmonds family as I have a lot of there history to share.

Old Country
Hi I have only just found this web site but I lived at "the woodings" Old Country, Nr Bosbury from 1963 to 1973. We used to have a pub next door to us which my foster mother was not happy about.
We many animals including a donkey,pony, numerous dogs and cats and of course chickens. I remember the winter with all the snow and stil, have some old B/W photos.
We used to have lovely walks with the dogs in the local country side and we also went to the Malvern Hills quite alot. I also attended Malver Boys College. Wonderful memories,it seems like yesterday and in some ways I wish it was. I remember the shops in Bosbury and was taught to drive by the owner of the garage who let me drive his e-type jaguar.
Any way hope this is of interest and look forward to any other comments
