We moved to Oaktrow in January 1957, me travelling in the cattle truck. The rest went by car. We stayed the first week or so at the Lion Inn, Timberscombe. Oaktrow had been purchased the previous summer. We eventually moved in and gradually things got more civilised. I liked staying in the village and playing skittles at the pub. In those... [more]

The first 8 plus years of my life were spent here at Merrow Down, off the Common. The only time we were away was for a few months in 1939-40 during the Phoney War. I had various nannies, the best being Flora. She came about autumn 1940 and stayed until autumn 1942 when 'called up ' for work of national importance... [more]

The Timberscombe I knew (1957-1965)
We moved to Oaktrow in January 1957 and until the house was habitable, we stayed at The Lion (prominently displayed in one of the photos). The village then had four shops, these being the Post Office towards Minehead, Mrs Yeandle's, the Coombe Stores (very successful under Basil Hewlett and his wife) and Loveridge's which was on the way to Stowey. Mrs... [more]

My grandparents lived in Porch Cottage in Luccombe.
I would often be taken to visit my grandparents but it was during the summer holidays I had the most fun.
Luccombe village is a magical place for a child and even more so in the summer months, it truly is one of the most beautiful places and the times I spent there... [more]

This is a very exciting discovery for me because it is one of the oldest photographs I have seen of a part of old Alcombe that I can recognise, even at my great distance from the UK.
My Great-Grandfather George Mildon had a school at Alcombe from the year of his marriage to Alice Frankpitt in 1874. He evidently bought... [more]

Extracts From Cutcombe & Somerset books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Cutcombe, inspired by Frith photos.
The focus of Cutcombe is now Wheddon Cross. Here in the old part of the village were once shops, a school and a pub. A Victorian post box sits in the wall on the right, out of view. The cottages, little changed, carry the names of former occupants: Crockford, Chidgey, Pope, Syms and Miss Bryant.

Minehead Town and City Memories

Minehead Town and City Memories
The architectural style is actually one which is common to areas around the Bristol Channel. The oldest cottages are based on what is known as a 'cross passage' design, whereby a passage runs straight from front to back door, dividing the house. In the original cottages there were usually two rooms on the upslope side of the passage and a 'shippon' (cow shed) on the downslope side. In medieval... [more]
