Before school

Mr & Mrs Potter managed Bon March shop and they had two young boys, Robert and Edmond.  My mum, Edna Griffiths, helped to look after the children and, being pre-school age, I used to go along with her.  Mrs Potter used to bring us pasties from Jones' Bakery (where the Chinese takeaway is now).

On the way home we used... [more]

Research - 1700s

I am looking for information about Sarnesfield in the 1700s and about the court house. Also, as I live in Canada and do not know much about the British law system, I would need to know how the courts operated in those years. What I need to know is about the size of the town, prominent citizens, marketplace and anything else... [more]

Childhood Memories of Ewyas Harold

My paternal grandparents, Wright and Bertha Veall, lived in Ewyas Harold for many years at their small farm named, 'Woodside' situated on a hill about a mile from the village centre and just off the road to Rowlstone. To reach it, you crossed the narrow bridge facing the Temple Bar Inn, passing the Spracklings' house on the right and the Dales'... [more]

Happy holidays.

I went to the Green Dragon with my aunt for a holiday, I was about 10 years old and thought it very grand. In later years when I was in my 20s I took my mother there. We had a very nostalgic holiday touring around the Malvern Hills and Shakespeare country. It was a happy time.

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Glasbury, 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.
