My Father's House

I remember my father's house in Station Road, it was called 'Wheatfields' and, as far as I know, had no street number back then. He had made a beautiful garden around it, flowers at the front and an orchard and vegetable patch at the back. When the apple harvest came in there were so many apples that he would put them...

My wonderful childhood days

I remember the day we moved into this little village. It was freezing cold, must have been February, mum had put a heater on in the lounge & I was riding round it on my little tricycle, but I was only 18 months or so... We were waiting for our stuff to arrive including some carpets. I loved living in the... [more]

Worcestershire memories

143

Well it was Malvern Road where I grew up and lived until I was 14.
Our family dwelled in no. 143- the vicarage for St. Johns church, half a mile away.
Malvern Road really is a 50s treat and helps form a marvellous, leafy suburb that is St. Johns.

Swimming across the Severn

I remember swimming the width of the Severn and back again as a sea cadet at the age of 9 or 10, from the boathouse steps.

Living in Worcester

From June 1965 -May 1969 I lived with my family over the Stead & Simpsons shoe shop where my husband was the manager. This is the shop centre right of the picture with the 2 white blinds out. The large 3 bedroomed flat was on the top 2 floors and my youngest son was born Nov 1967 in the top floor... [more]

Edith Gummery

My Grandmother, Edith Joyce Gummery, who was born in Tibberton near Worcestor was a volunteer nurse during WWI and I have an entire autograph album of hers where wounded soldiers who were housed at Battenhall Lodge signed her book.

The Cadena Cafe

This shot of the High Street presents the signage for the Cadena Cafe, a chain of national cafes (in the 'Lyon's' mould) where shoppers met for coffee and light meals. I have fond memories of visiting the cafe with family and friends, and in particular the stairway down to the coffee lounge, below street level. The coffee lounge was, as... [more]

I remember that Jane and Amber

Our family lived in Droitwich until 1965 when we moved to Australia. My brother and I went to Rashwood School and I remember that hill. I used to play rounders on the grassed area near the vegetable patch. The school lunches I remember as pretty gross except for the deserts. Mr Pointer was the Headmaster when we left, I had just...

Extracts From Fernhill Heath & Worcestershire books

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Fernhill Heath, inspired by Frith photos.

Kidderminster Town and City Memories

This view of the main road (known here simply as 'The Ringway') shows St George's Park just to the left of the dual carriageway. The park was originally twice the size it now is, for much of it was lost when the road was cut through here. This section and St Mary's Ringway formed the first stage of the building operation, and were... [more]

Kidderminster Town and City Memories

Now known as the Great Chamber, this room has since had panelling added to the walls, bringing it more into line with how it probably looked in around 1600.

Kidderminster Town and City Memories

The two stairs here are raised to reveal the entrance to one of the hiding places, a small room that was hidden beneath two floor levels.
