Cambridgeshire memories

I remember...

I remember Huntingdon's High Street in 1965. I was only a little girl then, holding on to my grandmother's hand.  My grandparents were Kate and Reginald Wayman and they lived in Hartford Road opposite the River Ouse.  Nanna and I would often walk to the town centre and she'd buy me a 'Pixie' comic; there were some lovely shops, I remember...

St Ann's Lane / Black Bull pub

Cambridgeshire Villages Photographic Memories

The parish church of All Saints stands on the banks of the River Ouse. Like a watch tower overlooking the river, the tower is embattled and has pinnacles at the corners. The church was restored in 1861 by Hutchinson, who rebuilt the chancel arch in the Norman style.

Huntingdon, St Neots and St Ives Photographic Memories

Moving northwards from the church along the Hollow, the path crosses Main Street into Sapley Road. It is difficult today to imagine that this is the sight that would have greeted travellers. The house on the left has been totally restored and renovated. The building opposite has changed beyond description. Only the Barley Mow (ahead), built using the stone from the spire of St Benedict`s... [more]
