Mum {Eileen Bailey} played the piano in the Fox & Hounds, Stubbs's were the local butchers. I spent a few months at the local school,... [more]

I have very fond memories of Great Haywood during the 50s as my sister and I went to stay with our grandmother during the school holidays. We lived near to the centre of Manchester and so to visit this village in the 50s was like entering another world.
Grandma lived on the outskirts of the village in Tolldish Lane and she... [more]

The photograph is of my mother.
I'm a little young to remember the post office as it is in the photograph, but I can say that the girl in the pushchair is my mother and the lady behind is one of my great aunts. Three of my great aunts built and ran the store and post office at the bottom of the village, i don't know exactly... [more]

Very sketchy memories - maybe someone will fill the blanks. My father was RAF at the Wellington bomber base. I lived for a short period in a single row of cottages, near the base and a railway line. I had to cross the line over a small bridge to go to a school just the other side. My parents were show-biz... [more]

Down the Trent Photographic Memories
This packhorse bridge is one of the finest examples in England. It was built in the 16th century by the 1st Earl of Essex to allow hunting parties, as well as packhorses, to cross the marshy land at the confluence of the rivers Trent and Sow.

The Trent and Mersey Canal never actually linked to the Mersey, but it did make a connection with the Bridgewater Canal in Cheshire which did. Here, close to the junction with the Staffs & Worcester Canal, is Haywood Lock. The railway behind the house is now electrified.
This is an extract from Canals and Waterways.

Down the Trent Photographic Memories
Looking upstream from Essex Bridge, the Trent is here being joined by two arms of the Sow, flowing in from Stafford. The branch entering from the extreme left has been diverted through the Shugborough estate to enhance the appearance of the grounds.
