Warwickshire memories

My Family

The Bull family, we used to live at 4 Duffus Hill. We used to go to the stud where my father worked, back in 1974. We used to go to the village hall for Brownies. We went to the school. We went to Sunday School down Middle Town Lane. We have got loads of memories of Moreton Morrell.

mini fishing

I remember fishing here with our mini bottles. Catching minows with wine bottles with the bottom knocked out ( hard to find ). Remember once being trapped under these arches with the river rising and being surrounded by the cows that came down from the field.

Leamington Spa Town and City Memories

Mrs Hitchman, widow of Dr Hitchman, donated the site for this church together with a large sum of money. St Mary's was built between 1877 and 1878 by John Cundall in brick with a prominent steeple. The interior is brick-lined. The tower was a mere 75 feet high and has been cemented over. In 1875 the old three-decker pulpit was removed and the font re-located. The horse and carriage gives a tranquil... [more]

Rugby Town and City Memories

To the west of Old Quad (above, 72159) lies Old Big School, surmounted by School House dormitories. In the shallow recess stands a pump which was used by the boys to collect their washing water until washrooms and indoor toilets were installed in 1922. The lozenge-shaped washroom windows can be seen (centre, 72159) on the south side of Old Quad. Cloisters... [more]
