I have taken possesion of a very tired silver watch. On the back is engraved 'Presented to Rev J Pearce by the Welsh Row Choir. July 1927'. Does anyone have an interest in the watch?

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... [more]

Hi, I was born and raised in Crewe until I was 18 when I joined the WRAF.
My school was Brierely St. Secondary Modern School and my maiden name was Chesworth. I have many fond memories of my time there and would love to hear from anyone that was a school mate of mine from 1953-57. Now I am retired in... [more]

My friend Raymond Slinn was the last bar man to work in the Adelphie Hotel and he was telling me about it when I stayed with him in his home in Tenerife where he is retired. Apparently when the Adelphie was pulled down grown men cried as it was reduced to a pile of rubble. It was such a lively and... [more]

A foundation stone laid by Arnold James Burton in 1933 is to be found on the extreme right of this shop, just off the picture. I'm sure this foundation stone used to be at the other end of the building. The possible reason for its move is that a separate small shop unit has been created at this end of the... [more]

Extracts From Edleston & Cheshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Edleston, inspired by Frith photos.
Wilmslow and Alderley Edge Photographic Memories
The Carrs are part of the meadow land along the River Bollin that once provided pasture land for Wilmslow`s residents. Now the scene of many a weekend football match, in the late 19th century it was where Wilmslow`s washing was hung out to dry. The Bollin once powered a silk mill here, whose buildings later became a laundry that boasted that it returned everything except the dirt.

Wilmslow and Alderley Edge Photographic Memories
For a number of years during the Second World War, `Romany`, the Rev George Bramwell Evens, was a great favourite on Children`s Hour with his nature talks, when he was often accompanied by his dog Raq. Evens` mother was a gypsy, and he and his wife restored this traditional caravan in the 1920s. After he died in 1943, Mrs Evens gave the van to Wilmslow, and Raq, who died in 1947, is buried beside it.

Wilmslow and Alderley Edge Photographic Memories
Even in the 1960s the photographer must have risen very early to take this picture; although the cars were not yet controlled by lights, even then there was usually much heavier traffic on the main road into Manchester. The Bluebell Garage is still on the corner, although it now concentrates on selling expensive cars rather than petrol.
