Through The Generations
The image of Carlton Parish Church has changed very little over the years. I have a similar photograph of the church taken on my wedding day. The Church has a place in my heart and holds very great memories for me and my family. Not only were my parents married in the church (1967), but my two sisters and I were christened there as well (1967, 1968 and 1970). When it came time for us to marry, both me and my younger sister were married here (1992 and 2001). My paternal grandparents are both buried in the cemetery. The church is a building that evokes happy and sad emotions for me but I suppose in today's ever changing world, it is reassuring that such beautiful, old buildings remain almost unchanged.
Childhood
Hi, Just wondered does anyone remember the Preece family that used to live in West View, opposite the war memorial on the main road.? My name was Susan Preece, I lived there with my mother and father, and went to the local school. I remember Padley's shop which was in the middle of the village. Lovely village. Sue.
Looking Back Can be Good
My great-grandmother lived in Water Lane, my grandmother Annie Bradford lived in Low Street. We lived on the Cross, as did my sister and husband, June and John Medlam. John was a true village charactor, and most people knew him. I remember collecting fresh milk from Medlams Farm, taking the two dogs from the Grey Horses for walks. I always enjoy going back the village, it is still the same today, my sister now lives on the Green as did my mother before she passed away. The village still has the same charm it did when I was small.
Mum's Shop
The shop behind where the car is parked used to belong to my mother, Freda Davies who still lives in Worksop. She took over from the Wards and the Hopkinsons took over from us. I lived at this shop for several years whilst I attended King Edward V1 Grammar School at Retford. I well remember the immediate surroundings of this photograph. The shop next door used to belong to the Padleys and the Fisher family lived behind these shops. Further along the road was the Methodist Hall, the Sherwood Ranger Pub, the Methodist Chapel which my grandparents used to attend and the village blacksmith. Opposite was the village policeman, the village post office, the fish and chip shop and the barber's shop.
My grandparents, Alf And Frances Spittlehouse, used to have Bridge House Farm at the bottom of the village and that is where I started life before moving to Low Street, Oxford Road and then Water Lane before moving into the shop. I went to the village Primary... Read more
My Father
I was born 1976 in Carlton. My father was a miner, Brian Mcbeth. My mother worked in a club or bar called Annabell's, Ann Mcbeth. My brother John Mcbeth helped on the farms. I think we lived on Kingston Road. I remember my father taking me to the greyhound, we had a whippit. My father was very found of racing and darts if I recall. Anyone who thinks they may know my parents, please contact me as I'm trying to find my father. Yours gratefully.
Finding my Roots
I was born in 1952 in Church Lane in my granddad's house which we all lived in, it had no electric or gas, only oil lamps as I know, I have still got one that my dad got new the day I was born, a bialladin table model, it still works. I live in Worksop, so not far away, and am doing the Padleys' family tree. Most of the family are in Carlton church grounds, my dad John W A Padley (Alec) dug many of the graves there so he knew the plots and would tell us who they are, we are back to the 1700s now, it is getting harder find records. I cannot find the Carlton in lLndrick census website any more.
Memories of Nottinghamshire
Donny Road
I used to live opposite these shops and I can honestly say the place is just the same today as when this photo was taken.
School Road
I used to live at 5 School Road nearly 20 years ago. My mum used to work at Dianes florists on Donny Road and my Dad managed the Corner Pocket snooker club. I still visit there now as my stepmum lives on Donny Road and my Dad, I'm very sad to say, is buried at Langold cemetery.
Langold has so many memories for me from when I was little and I will always cherish them forever. I would love to visit my old house on School Road.
Good Old Days
langold was a great place to be brought up in the 70s and 80s for a young lad got some great memories dont live there anymore but will remember it with a smile.
Evacuee
I was sent by my mother as an evacuee to stay with her sister Lilian to get away from the bombs dropping over Wimbledon during the war. My Uncle Wilf and Aunt Lill lived above the Tylers Shoe Shop in Langold. Uncle Wilf (Scotney) was the manager of this shop and also of the one in Doncaster. I started school in Langold in the infants 1942/43 just before I was five years old. Uncle Wilf sang in the church choir along with my cousin Tony. I had so much fun and loved Langold, especially the British Legion Hall and the Cinema where we kids would go on a Saturday morning. I have many happy memories of the Hepworth family and Robin Brummie and the farm where we played. There was so much freedom, very different for a "townie" like me. I loved being in the shop with Aunt Lil and used to try on all the shoes. I often returned to... Read more
Nellie Pollard
My Nan, 'Nellie Pollard', lived in Guest Villas at the bottom of the hill from Langold, going towards Worksop. I had some great holidays in Langold, I'm sure it was a great place for kids to live during 1970s. If anyone remembers my nan, please drop me a line.
