Lincolnshire memories
Heckington Angling Club
Our family the Drurys loved fishing and the local club used to supply us with endless sport but mainly fun! Every Sunday during June through to the end of September there was always a match on somewhere. The first of the season was always down the Forty Foot Drain at Little Hale. As we only lived over the road from where the bus left it was easy for mum and dad (Madge and Ern) and us three boys (Richard ,Stephen and Stuart) to get our gear by the side of the road. The bus usually left at 8 o'clock with other members of the club keen and eager. The bus was either driven by Norman Sharpe (it was his bus after all) or Arthur 'Pinky' Wilson. I won't go into any further detail but anyone reading this might just remember us all, Sam Young, The Brummitts, Albert Priestly, Jock Rogan etc. If there is anyone out there that was a member of the Heckington and District Angling Club in the 1960s...

School in Ruskington
I went to infant and junior schools here, Mr Handwell was head, Mr Jones assistant. From infant school at one end of beck two of us fetched the milk crate for our class from junior school. In winter it was always frozen, birds pushed off the foil caps and pecked at the frozen milk! I was friends with Janet Futter, Linda Veal, Gillian Smith. Glorious days! My family lived at Temple Bruer so we had a bus journey into Ruskington.
Billinghay Parish Office
The Old Vicarage Cottage in Church Street is now home to the Parish Office and is a local access point for North Kesteven District Council. There is a good display of village photos, the building itself is about 350 years old, and is of interest as it is a rare example of the mud and stud buildings found in the village prior to the fire in 1864.
Old photos are often reproduced in the 'Billinghay Times' the parish newsletter. Staff at the office are willing to try to help anyone with family history enquiries and are always pleased to receive any donated photos for the heritage room.
Billinghay used to have many public houses, including The Cross Keys in Victoria St, and The Mill in West Street. These days the village has 3 pubs, the Coach and Horses, The Golden Cross and The Ship.
There is an open air swimming pool in the village and many thriving clubs, clubs and groups offering leisure activities and... Read more
Williamson Family
My father was John Henry Williamson known as Harry. He lived with his father John William Williamson and mother Ada Florence nee Rylatt. My mother Florence Thorpe Catton was from Yorkshire and met Dad at Metheringham Feast.
The family lived in Burton Pedwardine at the time of my parents marriage in 1933 and Harry and Florence went to live with John and Ada Williamson for the first few years. They had three children while living there. John, Mary and Joan.
My father and Grandfather were Agricultural Labourers. Dad and Mum moved to Fishtoft Boston about 1937.
I have not been able to find out anymore about their time in Burton Pedwardine so would be interested in reading any memories at all that relate to that era.
Found The Web Page
Found the web page and references to Jubilee Grove. I adopted "Kenn Gash" because I was a reporter on the Sleaford Standard and my name was wrongly spelled on a By-line. I liked the balance and it stuck! Memories included Police Sergeant Enderby, The Choir of St Denys, Army Cadet Force, St Johns Ambulance, and many friends. Now aged seventy two years and still remembering it all better than I can remember yesterday.
My Husband´s Home
My husband, Mike Kirton, lived in the second house on the right as a small boy with his parents and younger brother. A number of his family also lived on this stretch of the Parade. I moved to Sleaford in 1963, but lived further up the Parade at No 90. Even then it looked the same.
