Growing up in Graveley.
I'm the youngest daughter of Lou and Vera Crook. Graveley, a great place to grow up. We knew everybody, and would lie in bed and count the people who lived there. I hope it will always maintain its British charm and the pub. Attending school with Mrs. Barton, such wonderful memories.
Cambridgeshire memories
I Was Eight And Fishing And You Caught Me!
Surprisingly I remember a man setting up the tripod to take this, a short time before I had seen the same process under taken for the school photos. I wondered what he was photographing. I wasn't allowed to go over the Chinese Bridge as the water was deep over there. It's shallow by the causeway but very smelly as I found out when I fell off my bike and into it, Mum made me undress in the back yard of 4c New Street before going in for a bath. Mr Thomson, a lovely old chap, had the sweet shop behind me in the picture and his wife (name ?) had the shop next door called Townsends, were they married??
St Ann's Lane / Black Bull Pub
Hi, I'm trying to find some people: Doris May Fisher born 1910 and Harry William Fisher born 1913, both born at St Ann's Lane, Godmanchester. Their parents were Harry William Fisher and Gertrude Church. Harry William senior died in 1932. Apparently the last address for Harry junior was Cambridge Villas, also someone told me Harry junior was hit by a police car after leaving the Black Bull pub and killed, does this ring any bell? Any info please get in touch.
Living in Godmanchester
Growing up in Godmanchester was a good experience. We lived in St Anne's Lane and I went to school there as well, then went to school in Park Lane. Then in 1956 I went to the Secondary Modern, starting at Brookside and moving to St Peter's when it opened, we marched through Huntingdon to the new school when it opened. The summer holidays were spent playing cricket all day over the parks with Barney Christian and Stan Binge, there was more of us some days, but Stan enjoyed knocking me and Barney out of the grounds, if we got him out he wanted to go home ha ha. Over the Rec on Sundays in the summer it was like a holiday resort, with people coming from everywhere. But it was a nice place to grow up in and we used to know everyone walking round the streets. it would be nice to see more people writing there memories. Danny.
My Great-Grandfather The Papermill Manager
My great-grandfather Ogilvie Bricknall was the manager of this mill at the turn of the century. He was a great papermaker and had moved to St Neots with his family from Longforgan in Perthshire. His son James was assistant manager in 1911 and the mill employed his two daughters as clerks.
I Attended Here in The Late 50s And Early 60s
I remember St Marys when Mr Naylor if im right was the headmaster when i left to go to Longsands in 1962. At easter and Christmas we use to go to St Marys church opposite for services. There was some prefab classrooms at the back and you still had ink and milk monitors, i cannot remember the name of the teachers so if any one can please add them to this memory. Many thanks David Matzk age 56.
St Neots Paper Mill, Wartime
My grandfather, Charles Lawrence, was manager of the St Neots paper mill during much of the 1940s. He formerly worked at the Dover mill and brought a great many workers from there to St Neots in (I believe) 1939. While at St Neots, he and my grandmother resided in a lovely house on the banks of the Ouse in Eynesbury where, during the war, various members of their family also dwelt. Me too. I was born in the house in 1943.
