or of a photo of Edwinstowe.
My ancestors were farming in Edwinstowe in 1662. I am trying to find out where they were living at the time. They were William and Anne Snowden and are listed in parish records at the time. Wouldn't it be fun to see where they lived?
If anyone knows how I can find out, I would appreciate the help.
Their son, John... [more]

My Grandma and Grandad lived in a tied cottage in Budby, and I spent many happy times there when I was a little girl. Grandad Dudley was a cabinet maker at Thoresby Hall, and I was given a lovely little music chair by Lord Manvers, but I`m afraid I no longer have it. My Auntie Vera, who also lived in one... [more]

Uncle worked as a cabinet maker for Thoresby Estate. He and aunty lived in a tied-cottage in the village which Lady Manvers visited occasionally. I met her twice in my lifetime. Aunty baked lovely cakes and made chair covers and clothes all on a small hand sewing machine. There was an Aga in the kitchen making it... [more]

Welbeck Colliery Village, now know as Meden Vale
My Grandparents moved to Welbeck Colliery Village about 1926, when my mother was 10 years old, and stayed in the same house at the bottom of Elkesley Road until they went into care in the 1970s.
My parents did their courting round Carburton Lakes in the 1930s and got married in Warsop Church in June 1945. I was born in... [more]

SCHOOL LIFE LIVING IN BILSTHORPE
My earliest memory was at the age of 5. I vividly remember sqeezing through the school railings at the bottom of my garden to go to school. My teacher was a lady called Mrs Malkin, she was very nice and kind to us all in her class. Someone would bring in flowers every day to brighten up the classroom.

The 79th Boy Scout Group of which my father Bert Lacey was Scout master for on a number of years used to take us camping on a farm close to Farnsfield, I think it was called Combes Farm. We would get there down a lane off the Ollerton Road. If any none remembers this camp site please let me know. As... [more]

I was nursing at the hospital from December 1952, and the photo that is shown is of the old Nurses' Home, which you went into in your second year, or when on night duty in the part of the building at a right angle on the left. This meant that you had a single room instead of sharing. All the sisters... [more]

Nottinghamshire Living Memories
This view looks north along the High Street past the now 'improved' junction with West Lane. The Mansfield, Sutton and District Co-operative Society shop on the corner (left) was funded by Earl Manvers in 1895. This has now been replaced by a 1960s version of little merit; its building involved demolishing the house beyond. In the middle distance on the right are the pantiled roofs of the now altered Black Swan Inn.

Downhill to the south and across the River Maun, the High Street continues uphill to pass The Dukeries Hotel, now for some reason called Ma Hubbard's Eating House and Hotel. This half-timbered building with its many gables was built in 1895 for the Mansfield Brewery at a cost of £543. Since the 1950s the porch has been converted into a stone-built bow window. The hotel served both the community (which had grown greatly in... [more]

Here we have another view of a track in the forest. Here we might catch glimpses of fallow deer and even roe and red deer. The area is, of course, always associated with the deeds of Robin Hood and his Merry Men and their struggles with the Sheriff of Nottingham; but the earliest tales of Robin are set in Yorkshire, and the stories...
