Wonderful Memories
This was the cottage that my mum grew up in. She had to move to Wolverhampton in the 1930s because there was no work for girls on Clee Hill. I have wonderful memories of Clee Hill in the 1950s and 60s when we used to visit my gran and grandad, aunts, uncles and cousins. I can remember wild primroses, water cress growing wild in the stream, snow several feet deep, the derelict quarry, the journey from Wolverhampton which took 3 or 4 hours from Wolverhampton, the bus from Kidderminster struggling as it climbed Hopton Bank, but most of all the lovely people. Happy memories and happy days!
Sadie Uzolins
I lived in Cleehill in the early 1950s in a cottage in the middle of a field. And I do remember the very deep snow we had, and my father having to dig us out. We had a nanny goat which used to butt my father if he got to near her. We lived with my nan, Ada Bearcroft. They were happy days, and such a lovely place to have lived.
Corn Brook
Hi, it looks like this house was set against the Corn Brook midway between Corn Brook bridge on the A4117 and Fairyglen which is downstream. The house is no longer there, but where it was, was a place called Enoch's Garden. We used to play around there when we were kids. My mother was born just below at the Poplars, and I was born at Lea Cottage on Furnace Lane. My mother's maiden name is Thomas, more local names would be the Cleetons, Prices, Turner and Edwards.
Best Years
I lived on Clee Hill as a child and they were the best years of my life, the freedom and fun we had riding our bikes, it was so safe, I could see 7 counties from my bedroom window.
Happy Memories
I belonged to St Matthew's Church Choir in Stretford, Manchester as a chorister, and every May bank holiday the choir had a week's vacation at Nash Court. In those days it was a national association of boys' clubs venue. There were dormitories around the back. I wonder if the wonderful tree house is still in the large oak tree in the playing fields. I seem to remember a ghost story concerning a dog called Spot which saw us on a few nights walking the huge unlit drive calling to him.
Wonderful place.. Wonderful memories, I think I went there about 4 times..
