Lincolnshire memories
Black Horse Inn
The photograph of the High Street with the Black Horse Inn Sign in the foreground reminded me that one of my ancestors, Sims Briggs, was the landlord of the inn according to the 1881 Census. Some of the other members are interned in the churchyard including my 2x Great Grandmother Susannah Briggs, wife of John who also died in Ludford but I have no knowledge of his resting place. I recently visited the village and was impressed by the way the churchyard is kept.
A Village History
So many memories.....so village 'elders' got together to document their memories lest they be lost forever. The result is a book of 120 pages and 300 photographs of people, places and events. A unique record of which only a few copies remain unsold.

US AIRMEN AT LOUTH 1957-59
I remember Louth back in the day, a day, as a young black airman from Maryland, it was nice dine, dance, and hang out in Louth. We used to stand in front of the teashop and sing with the local boys. I wish I could remember the names. All I know is one was Jimmy and another we called 'Teddy boy'. We came out of East Kirkby Air Base. Part of my family is still in Louth. My last visit the town is number one in my book. Send me a e-mail If you want to know more. L."LORENZO" LLOYD, lloydedgwd@aol.com
Family History
My Panton ancestors lived in Welton Le Wold or thereabouts in the 19th century. There were two Panton families in the village, probably related but I have not established a connection. The earliest record I have is of Robert Panton (1809 to 1876] A family historian in America has a record of a Sussanah Panton b1776 in Welton Le Wold. The owner of this information requests privacy so I have not been able to find out more.
Service in The RAF
I served at RAF Market Stainton in 1947 until its closure when we were transferred to RAF Wickenby. Several years ago ex RAF personnel were invited to a fete near to the Church of St. Michael's I gathered together a number of personnel who were at Stainton at the same time as myself; I have several photograghs of the "Party". Our time at this unit was made most enjoyable by the warmth of the local inhabitants and I also recall the bad winter of 1947 when we were snowed in at Market Stainton Hall - not being able to go off station because of the amount of snow that had fallen. After the "party" we all visited the church and the Pub in the village which we regulary attended during our stay on the Unit. The Station Officer was a Warrant Officer who was in charge of our section. When the Unit was disbanded contact was lost with this Officer, until looking around the Church Yard we noticed his gravestone -... Read more
Binbrook School Days
I attended Binbrook Church of England Primary School from 1952 to 1959. In this time I was in Mrs Lamming's class first, moving to Mrs Wilky, Mrs Foster's (nee Miss Walton), Mrs Sharpe's, Mr Holgarth and not forgetting the really scary head master Mr Alfred Gordon. Most memorable things were the May Queen coronation and playing foot ball among the cow pats on the school field.
Binbrook, The Holiday And Life.
Onwards and upwards through the years, I had an aunty and grandmother who lived there. Ending up at No2 Mount pleasant after living in Low Lane. Lilly and Bill Stone, parents of my mother Jaqueline Stone (now Stevens). Lucy Traves was my aunt. I used to remember Billy Saville, Brigadier Clarke and the famous Oscar Cooke, the chippy, broken crisps and Dandelion and Burdock, shrimping in the beck and most of all the old cottages at Low Lane. My passion was watching the Lightnings, javelins and visiting airforces mostly German F104s trying to out manoeuvre each other against the Lincolnshire skies; fond memories of a time gone by. Bill was a fisherman and often went away for long periods of time returning to Binbrook after meeting him at the dock, with soap, ciggies and fish, his talent was baking bread as he was a cook on Ross Revenge and Jaguar which made a record catch. The treat would be a fish and chip lunch at Riby Square, the one with the piano... Read more
