Shropshire memories
Eudon Mill
At the end of 1995 my family moved to Eudon Mill at Eudon George near Bridgnorth. The old timber framed house dating from the sixteenth century had been the original water powered corn mill and in the large grounds there was the ruins of a later eighteenth century water powered tower mill, which we understood had worked until the mid thirties and was demolished in the early fifties. The Borle brook ran through the gardens, but the mills had been powered by a small independant stream which ran from near Little Eudon and once fed a large mill pond above the house, the exhaust water from the mills flowing into the Borle brook just above the old fording place in the east corner of the gardens. To my knowlege there were at the time we occupied our lovely home at least four maybe five water mills, not including Daniels Mill within a two mile radius of our property.
Living in Quatford 1944
My Grandma lived in Quatford soon after my dad had been born, in a house that is no longer there because the new A road was built where it used to be. Her name was Edith Mildred (Millie) Ganderton, Nee Stealey.
My Gandparents Lived in Quatford
My grandparents and great grandparents lived in Quatford and I remember going to stay in the summer during the sixties, seventies and eighties with my sister. They lived in a cottage on a hillside above the village called "The Wyches ". My grandmother was Violet Oliver. She is buried in the graveyard with Cecil Oliver her husband. My mother Sheila Oliver and her brother Charles remembered visiting as children. They remembered the americans offering them 'gum' as they came through on the old main road. I remember visiting the Danery and someone called Hilda down the lane. I enjoyed walking through the woods and walking along the main road to buy an icecream in the summer. My grandmother didn't have a fridge. They used a cave at the back of the cottage to keep things cool.
Old Fire Station
The building on the left of the two arches is the old town Fire Station, which was replaced in the 1960's with a new station on Innage Lane. The property is now a retail outlet. If on a visit to the town you look above the shop front you will see engraved the words Fire Station.
Fire Station
My great-great-grandfather and family resided here, at 1 High Street. It was once a Fire Station!
Fire Station Northgate - Great Grandfather Enoch Williams
My great grandfather was Enoch Williams at one time Superintendent of the Fire Station at 1 High Street. He went to Bridgnorth from Gt Whitley in 1894. I have photos of the fire crew of that time - horses and carriage. Horses were kept in a field down Love Lane! Enoch and my grandmother Rebecca had many children and lived above the fire station. My grandfather William Williams had the shop to the right of this picture from 1908. It is now Wetherspoons pub. The Builders' Merchant, William Williams still operates in The Innage.
Richard Baxter's House
This house is significant because I lived around the church close in Glenn Place (top of Moat Street) at the time of this picture. Also, my late father was a well known sign writer - Herman Williams - who hand-painted the 'Baxter's House' details on the front of the house. Richard Baxter was a former curate at St Leonard's (details on the house and a photo inside St Leonard's).
