Worcestershire memories
Malvern Wells
Does anyone remember the army transit camp in Malvern Wells called Wood Farm Camp? I looked on Google Earth and all that is there is a field, I had some great memories of this place when I was a kid.
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.

Mom went to the country to live during the war. She lived in a big field - the house and land were let by the Fulton Brick Works, I believe that was the name. I have about 5 pictures of her home with my Auntie Connie.

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]. Percy used to watched the magic lantern shows at the Market House in Ledbury, which was put on by the Band of Hope and he loved to play Fox & Hounds on a moonlit night. To get money for... Read more
Childhood Years
Many hours were spent playing on the hills around this area. In the centre of the picture is a mound, we called it the Tump, it was the excavation from the cutting and it was made into a feature with three seats or benches for walkers to enjoy a rest and admire the views over Herefordshire.
The Lee Family
My grandmother Elsie Thomas married Harold Victor Lee in 1929. Sadly he died 3 months later. They were living at 2 Albion Villas, Lower Wyche. He was a Dept Manager at a Clothing Shop. His father was a grocer - William Edward Lee. Until recently we didnt know anything about this marriage. If anyone knows the Lee family, if they are still in the area or knows where Albion Villas is could they please get in touch many thanks
Information Wanted on Rose Cottage Malvern
I am looking to find information on Rose Cottage, my father in law's family lived here in and around the 1930s, not sure what date from or to. I am looking for old photographs of this house and any information relating to it. I would be extremely grateful, as it would help with information for family tree.
