Friends from Barbridge and Bunbury were good in those days. Used to go dancing in the area, I think the buildings are still up. Ken Kirkham who has since died. David Davies after a while went in the army and has now moved away, but can't mention any more for now. But they were great times.

I used to cycle from Barbridge to Bunbury quite a lot in the 1950s when we needed to see Dr Arthur, but the view of the countryside was beautiful.

I have taken possesion of a very tired silver watch. On the back is engraved 'Presented to Rev J Pearce by the Welsh Row Choir. July 1927'. Does anyone have an interest in the watch?

Extracts From Bunbury & Cheshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Bunbury, inspired by Frith photos.
Nantwich and Crewe Photographic Memories
Bunbury has been described as 'a village that the commuter has found but not spoilt', and it has a delightful mixture of buildings of all periods. The village itself is rather a tale of two halves: this area around the former village green has the shops, and the other half, a short distance away, is focused on the church.
