My parents owned the nursery at Spurstow, (I remember the big oak tree in front of the petrol front on the A49). They were there from 1943 to my father's death in 1951. Was there a family called 'Prier' (soliciter, doctor) in the area? Dad use to go shooting with someone of that name or similar in the area. I have... [more]

Friends from Barbridge and Bunbury were good in those days. Used to go dancing in the area, I think the buildings are still up. Ken Kirkham who has since died. David Davies after a while went in the army and has now moved away, but can't mention any more for now. But they were great times.

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.
