Cheshire memories
Barbridge
I can remember visiting my grandparents at Barbridge as a small child. In the early 60's my grandparents name was Poole and they lived in the end house nearest to the pub. Grandad worked for British Waterways and the garden went straight up to the canal. The people next door were called Bunn and I think Mr Bunn worked with my grandad - Mr Bunn had a daughter called Sandra. My grandad had an accident at work when I was 3 and unfortunately did not survive. I can remember running up the road to the shop as a small child and remember the house that my grandparents lived in very well. My grandma lived at the house with my aunt until the end of the 70's or early 80's. My grandma and aunt Minnie went to live in Nantwich after grandma had a bad fall and coulnd no longer live in the house.
Dysart 1957
My brother Nigel was born here in 1957. It was both a farm and public house kept by my great uncle and aunt, Tom and Alice Moore.
Porch Roof
The small porch at the front was put on in about 1958, we made it in the workshop at H A Vickers & Son who were builders in Bunbury.
The Triangle
My aunty Jenny and uncle Albert Stockton used to live at the house in the triangle which used to be the old jailhouse. My dad, Ivor, used to take me and my brother John there and he used to cut our hair in the old shed.
Country View.
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.

Good Old Days
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.

The Lantern Guest And Country Club
I was eight in 1960 and two years before my grandma bought an old private school and refurbished it to make the Lantern on the A49. My mum managed it and my sister was born there in 1960. I attended Spurstow County Primary School which was actually in Bunbury and it was a 2.5 mile walk there, not good in the winter. Occasionally we got a lift in the milk van but that meant getting to school at 7.30 am!The school was just two classes infants and juniors and there was one teacher, Miss Davenport, and the Headmistress, Mrs Love. I think the schoolhouse is now a private residence. It was very distinctive with towers on the roof. Opposite the hotel was the Spencer's farm and Caroline Spencer was a friend. I was also friends with Rosaline Lehman whose mum Pat worked at the hotel. I have been back and the hotel is now Panama Hatties Restaurant and much changed. However I do have photos of the hotel which I... Read more
