I was born in Wisbech in 1937 in Ramnoth Road, we moved to Napier Terrace on the canal until after the war when we moved to Wales. I have fond memories of living in Napier Terrace, we lived in the last house, No 37. My father was in ARP when a bomb fell on the cinema. A lasting memory was when... [more]

I think it was 1949/50, I remember living along the canal side, Trafalgar Row it was called, over the other side from the Hope Inn. Somehow I think it was further up than Somerfield almost opposite the Empire. Most of my family used this pub as their social outlet for weekends, remember no TV, bingo or much else then. I remember... [more]

Look carefully between the first two trees on the left of the photograph. In the gap with the house in the background you will see a horizontal dark line which follows to the right. This is the railway line called the Harbour Line which operated until about 1967. The engine was driven by Mr Charlie Rands, who lived... [more]

On the left on his father's cycle is Malcolm French, an old friend. No doubt he is returning to the office of J Bellamy, Accountants, North Brink, where he was at that time articled. He worked in the town as an accountant during his working life.

I went to St Peter's School, shown by the side of the canal, half way up the picture on the left, and contained in the triangle. It was demolished prior to the canal being filled to create Churchill Road. This was an important site during winter for us local boys. Council workmen would shovel snow from the town... [more]

Cambridgeshire Villages Photographic Memories
The wonderful church of All Saints has a fine 13th-century tower with lancet windows inserted into blind arcades. The belfry is embattled, with turrets at the corners. Like similar parishes nearby, the wealth of this fen village came from wool.

Here we see the village green in Elm, with its recently erected memorial to the men of the village who fell in the Great War. The village's name was spelt 'Eolum' around a thousand years ago, so the name possibly means a place of eels rather than elm trees.

Wisbech Town and City Memories
Whilst the High Street is a shadow of its former self, the Rose & Crown Hotel, located at the junction with the Market Place, is enjoying somewhat of a renaissance, with its current owners investing heavily in restoring the hotel to its former prominence in the town and locality. The provision of good accommodation for visitors and tourists must be seen as a priority, if Wisbech is to tap into the... [more]
