Worcestershire memories
Kempsey The Village
I lived
in the 2nd cottage Cobblers cottage. around 1947-1957.Mrs Bremner my mother. I remember how Church street always got flooded from the ford.
Via Pershore
Our grandparents live in Chipping Campden. When we lived in Worcester we would drive through Pershore on the way there. As a young child I used to acknowledge the little flags which were hung on string in between the buildings on either side of the high street.
RAF Camp Pershore
I lived in Pershore in the 1950s as my dad was based at the RAF camp there. I went to Pershore Infants then the Junior School. Headmaster was Mr. Goodyear. The school was near the Abbey - I remember it well!
Hall And Ballard Families of Pershore
My great great grandfather Henry Hall was born in Fladbury 1836. He married Mary Ellen Ballard, born Netherton 1837. Henry had 2 siblings, mary bn 1840 and Edwin bn 1851; Ellen had 4 sibs, Thomas bn 1828, Will bn 1830, Eliza 1832, Joseph 1840. Her father Thomas Ballard married Mary Weston at Cropthorne in 1821
Henry and Ellen had 10 children, the oldest, Fred, being my Great grandfather. Fred started as a labourer at Masons farm Castlemorton, but became a self-employed grower and haulier in Newland, Malvern. His siblings were Henry, Roscine, Eliza, Arthur, Bertha, Charles, Frances, Herbert, Ethel.
The Cadena Cafe
This shot of the High Street presents the signage for the Cadena Cafe, a chain of national cafes (in the 'Lyon's' mould) where shoppers met for coffee and light meals. I have fond memories of visiting the cafe with family and friends, and in particular the stairway down to the coffee lounge, below street level. The coffee lounge was, as I recall, adorned with plants and greenery in subdued lighting and a 'cozy' atmosphere. Worcester's beloved Cadena has now closed, and is now the premises of the Alliance and Leicester.
Edith Gummery
My Grandmother, Edith Joyce Gummery, who was born in Tibberton near Worcestor was a volunteer nurse during WWI and I have an entire autograph album of hers where wounded soldiers who were housed at Battenhall Lodge signed her book.
