Northamptonshire memories
Helmdon 1982 - 1983
My husband (Jose) and I were stationed at RAF Upper Heyford and lived on Church Street (81 Church I believe) with our 2 young children (Erin and Justin) from May 1982 until we moved to base housing at RAF Upper Heyford in May 1983. Our wonderful neighbors were Robert (Bob) and Gay Wallis (children - Jenny and John) and on the other side of us were the Grants (can't think of their first names) who raised Jacob's sheep from which they spun and used the wool for beautiful handwoven sweaters. Other people we remember from the village were Hazel and Nick Bullen who had children close to our kiddos' ages...Nathaniel and Tom and later a baby girl, Jessica. Our son Justin went to primary school just after we moved there and had Ms. Nightingale as his teacher. Iris Cashmore (sp?) was our child minder. We have very fond memories of our time in the village and would love to hear from anyone who might remember... Read more
Motorbike Days
Nice to look at the old photos of Brackley as I was born here in 1963. I lived at 54 Manor Road for many years. I moved away for a while but it was nice to return. I used to ride motorbikes with a group of friends - Steve & Andy Fell & Mark Thomas to name a few. Id love to contact CHRIS & BARBARA BALL who emergrated to Oz with there new baby ZOE in the late 1970's. If there's anyone out there who remembers me wheelieing my green loud kawasaki up the High Street let me know???. Thank you for a nice web site ST

The End as A School
I can remember Feed My Lambs closing when we went up to the new school.
I did 3 years at this one, an old type of school - one door for boys and the other for girls. The heating was from coke burning boilers and it was good to be able to go out and get the coke. The other thing we lost when it closed was going across the playground to the outside toilets. Lovely in winter.
Greens Ironmonger (Hardware) Shop
In 1962 - 1964 I lived upstairs above Mr. Green's shop. I believe the number was 12 Market Square. I was a USAF Airman stationed at RAF Upper Heyford. Good memories. Mr. Green invited me to go with him to the British F-1 Grand Prix at Aintree as he knew I loved motor racing and spent many Sundays at Silverstone.
Hinton in The 1970s
I came to Hinton a lot in the 1970s as my aunty and uncle, Mrs and Mrs Good, rented Yew Tree House and Brook Farm Cottage. Mr Good was stationed at Upper Heyford and was in the US Airforce. His wife Rita was my mum's sister. We came to stay at both cottages on and off until up to 1974 when they went back to the USA and I had many a happy time playing round the village with my cousin Eve, my sister and various other cousins. I can see that the village has changed somewhat now but I don't know if anyone remembers Seamus the red water spaniel owned by the people who lived opposite Yew Tree House, the Darvil family who farmed just behind the cottage (can't remember the name of their farm), the lady Mary who owned the ex race horse Smokey, Elsie the butcher who used to deliver round the village, and loads of things. It would be interesting if anyone has any memories of... Read more
Blakesley Manor
I have a picture somewhere of Blakesley Manor, which was demolished in about 1967 and replaced with a housing estate!!! My dad thought that he should have inherited it, but he found out that it was left to his grandparents (who were ordinary people, in service) with extensive repairs needed plus death duties, thus it went into chancery. I always remember the shock and sense of unfairness I felt, when I found out that it had been knocked down, when I had been staring at it only a year or so before.

Mrs. Hatch's Store
I lived in a terraced cottage with a family named Hatch. Mrs. Hatch ran the grocers and the post office in 1969. My daughter Cassie was just over a year old and used to play on the porch between the house and the store. She would do the baby run to the other end and grab Mrs. Hatch's skirts and give her a hug and then laugh out loud and sit down in a plop. Mrs. Hatch was a lovely woman.
