My great great grandfather, Simon Myall, had a farm called Blackden Hall according to the 1851 census. The house is still there but no longer a farm.

Lower Withington, the Church, the School House and School c1955
Ref: L586009
What a lovely old photo! I was lucky enough to spend my primary school years, 1962 to 1968, at Lower Withington primary school as did my sister Cathy and my mum and uncle before us. Our headmistress lived in the house next door to the school and believe it or not she actually taught my mum and uncle also!
We all have many good memories of growing up in Lower Withington and all these years on it still feels like home when we go back even though we moved away in 1969.
The village has changed a bit over the years, what place hasn't; the school is now a large house and the grass in the front of the photo is now the Village Hall car park. In our day there was a hall but it was a low wooden building and we knew it as the
'Parish Room'; the church is still the same though, a green corrugated tin building but all the more special for not being replaced or closed.

I was born in Siddington at Blake House Farm in 1943. I left in 1964 when I got married. I have so many memories. I went to Siddington school and attended the Siddington Methodist Chapel with my parents, 3 times a day on aSunday! I would love to hear from anyone and to swop memories of which there are very, very many. I was known as Marion Kennerley in those days. I go by my first name Elizabeth (Liz) now and married name of Appleby. I would just love to hear from any one who remembers those times and the area.

My father - Aubrey (Aub) Davenport
From 1960 approx onwards- my father was the best blacksmith around. He was a master blacksmith at Smithy-House, Siddington. He not only shod horses but was the master of welding farming implements. Never a bad word was ever said about him. He retired to Chelford where he died in 2001. Many of the farmers remembered him including -The Wains, Worth's, Venables, Pilkingtons and many many others including Mr R Rush layreader at the church who gave a wonderful reading at my father's funeral. I would appreciate all fond memories to my email at javealady@msn.com.

Knutsford, the Heath 1900
Ref: 45431
Knusford Heath was our playground as children. We used to burrow tunnels in the sand pits, play hide and seek, Cowboys and Indians, or simply roll down the hills. I only lived across the road in Tabley Road. We'd be up at dawn and out all day, called in for dinner or tea by the sound of Mum ringing the bell. There were loads of us kids - first the elder 4 Elsmores, the Lynches, the younger Yellowlees and first Jamie, then Penny. If we didn't go across to the Heath, we would go cycling to the motorway bridge to wave to cars on the M6, stopping on the way back to fish for tiddlers in the pond. When we weren't doing that, we would play dare races across Tabley Road - not that there were many cars on the road in those days - play in each other gardens (going through holes in the hedges) or take part in the May Day Parades, play on the Grandstand, or go to the fair over the Mayday weekend.
I have such fond memories of my childhood in Knutsford...
