Warwickshire memories
11 Years of Age And Gazing
I never swam here but I remember going there with my family and walking around the Abbey Fields and coming across the Swimming Pool. It was a hot summers day and we spent the afternoon sunbathing and me well...sunbathing and gazing of which I loved to do.
Swimming All Summer
I remember this so well. We went nearly every day in the school holidays. I can even remember the fence which was quite new and smelt of creosote! I think that could be me on the far left of this photograph. I was very excited to see this picture!
Grandma's House!
Was amazed to find this photograph! My grandmother's house was the white-walled thatched building in the middle distance. It's called Robsart Cottage, a 15th Century cottage built to house the building foreman supervising additions to nearby Kenilworth Castle. The cottage is named after Robert Dudley Earl of Leicester's wife Amy Robsart who died in mysterious circumstances at nearby Cumnor Hall. Grandma's house in Coventry was destroyed by a German bomb during 1941 and she was rehoused in Robsart Cottage and lived there until her death in 1970. When I was about 2, I remember visiting her in 1960 and visiting the sweet shop (Cafe). opposite.
The Bus
My family purchased and converted an old single decker bus for us to have holidays in. It was parked on a small piece of land opposite the church. An old Gypsy caravan was parked just inside the gate to the land, I was told that it had to be burned as it was so rotten and infested! I can remember as a very small child staying in the bus and fishing in the stream which ran next to the land we were on. My family used to walk up to the 'Fleur de Lys' pub at night and bring back a large bottle of cider. I visited the site recently and found it to be almost as it was. Houses have been built just round the corner and the site is now someones back garden. I hope that it remains as it is because I have so many lovely memories of the place.
Fleur de Lys
My mother grew up in Lowsonford, her parents owned the Fleur de Lys, it was a wedding present from my great-grandad. My grandmother, Mrs Elizabeth Tarplee, started to make steak pies at the pub for the passing boats. My mother had a pony that she rode to school who was kept in the stables at the back of the pub, my mother was Kathlean. I would love to have any comments from anyone who remembers or has heard about their time in Lowsonford. The family sold the Fleur de Lys to Flowers brewery, which became Whitbreads.
I Lived Here
I lived at The Malt House, Claverdon in the early mid 1960s. It was owned at the time by Mr Jefferson who lived in a lovely new bungalow a little further away. I loved this house even if it was a bit unusual to live in. I went to school in Claverdon and Miss Lewthwaite was my teacher she was really nice. Does anyone else remember this place?
I don't think the Malt House has changed that much, it still looks lovely in the modern photos I have seen of it. I bet the floors still slope upstairs.
In the barn at the end it had a "Copper" where my mum boiled the whites on washing day and she had to cross the road to hang her washing in a field on the corner.
