Cornwall memories
Roskear Farm
As a youngster I recall staying at this farm with (I think) my father's relatives.
I used to see my cousin Sandra and we would run through the fields and enjoy the animals. My brother Stuart and I would help Uncle bring in the cows, and I would be sent to feed the sows. Sadly I cannot recall the names of these relatives, but I recall they did have a son. My father's name was Waldron, Reg Waldron. I hope that someone may see this and remember who owned or rented the farm before the Frenches (Dawn French's - the comedienne - family). Or even further on.
Samuel Treglown
Samuel Treglown worked as landlord at the Swan Hotel during the 1950s. He is an ancestor of mine I am currently researching. His photo has appeared in Wadebridge Memories by Peter Tutthill, but with no date. He also was a great sportsman and boxer. Would love info or photos. He has a son called John who has an interest in wrestling and rugby.
Swan Folk Club
I sang many times in the Swan Folk Club and met my first wife there, Clare Hawken. We married and started our married life living in a caravan owned by Mervyn & Jean Vincent in St Issey before moving to Malta as I was in the RAF.
Dancing in Molesworth Street
This view of children in Molesworth Street is fascinating - more than 100 years later our dance group entertained children and holidaymakers at the same spot.
Our "Heather and Gorse Clog Dancers" joined up with the "Saffron Maids", and "Black Bess Border Morris" plus the "Ilfracombe Red Petticoats" to provide street entertainment as part of the Wadebridge Folk Festival. We danced near the Swan Inn and later at the Sir John Betjeman Centre and the Piazza - the sun shone all day long and we were surrounded by happy crowds of onlookers.
Wadebridge is a lovely venue for a folk festival.
Porthily Beach
Myself and my 3 sisters Ginine, Chantelle and Michaela all used to go down to the Porthily Beach regularly with our mum and dad. We have wonderful memories there. Our dad brought home a tractor inner tube from a tyre and pumped it up for us and we played for hours on it. Porthily is very safe, it doesn't get too deep when the tide is in. Nowadays myself and my sisters all go down to the beach with our children. We are creating the same memories for our children to remember when they get older. A very happy childhood.

I was born in Pityme near St Minver in 1941. My mother was Annie Kinsman. We lived at Rose Cottage, Pityme. I went to St Mniver CP School. My gran was Mrs Bessie Worden, my grandad was the school caretaker. I think my relative dug graves at St Miniver churchyard. I remember the Dingle garage near Rock, and the pond near the village centre, and the saw mills. I went to school with David and Philip Buse, Shirley Wills. I live with my partner Anne.
