Harmel House, High Street, Haslington. and Castleigh House
I am researching my Sims-Hilditch family tree. Does anyone remember Edwin Sims Hilditch at Castleigh, Haslington around 1931? And at Harmel House, High Street, Haslington around 1946? Are they on the Frith photos?
Edwin's and Ada's (nee Knott) son Tom Sims Hilditch's name appears on the Haslington war memorial. I believe his boat was torpedoed in 1941 - can anyone... [more]

Haslington village Post Office
My Grandparents ran the post office in Haslington for many years (not sure how many exactly). Their names were Harry and Connie Jones, they built the business up from nothing and delivered newspapers, ran the post office and made their own ice cream which my mum always said people came from miles to buy. They were always up at 5 o'clock... [more]

The Square was the bus terminus, overlooked by the bus office on Market Street on the upper floor. It was always full of buses, my buses were the 12.10 and 12.25 going home from school for lunch. I would have to run to catch the 12.10 but usually had to wait for the 1225, having missed the other. I have earlier memories... [more]

I remember when I started school - I think it may have been Brierley Street, but I left Crewe in l956, aged 8, so I am not sure, but we lived on Nantwich Road in a flat above the Co-op. From the late 1940s my dad (Sydney Alston) used to work for Rolls-Royce as an upholsterer. I used to play every... [more]

Hi, I was born and raised in Crewe until I was 18 when I joined the WRAF.
My school was Brierely St. Secondary Modern School and my maiden name was Chesworth. I have many fond memories of my time there and would love to hear from anyone that was a school mate of mine from 1953-57. Now I am retired in... [more]

My friend Raymond Slinn was the last bar man to work in the Adelphie Hotel and he was telling me about it when I stayed with him in his home in Tenerife where he is retired. Apparently when the Adelphie was pulled down grown men cried as it was reduced to a pile of rubble. It was such a lively and... [more]

Extracts From Haslington & Cheshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Haslington, inspired by Frith photos.
Nantwich and Crewe Photographic Memories
The Hawk Inn is pictured here (centre). It has now had the plaster removed to reveal timber work, and is also dated to 1510. Inscribed on timbers around it are the words 'a jug of ale (and) a whispered word can be found within these old walls', and it advertises 'good ale and dry stables'. Dick Turpin is reputed to have once stabled his horse here.

Nantwich and Crewe Photographic Memories
The delightful timber- framed house in the centre of the picture is said to date from 1510. Notice the telephone box just beyond – many of the earliest public telephones were set up inside private houses, and there used to be one inside this particular cottage. The building on the far right of the picture has now gone – this is now the entrance into a new housing estate behind.

Nantwich and Crewe Photographic Memories
The garage in the centre of the photograph has been demolished to make way for a new post office and convenience store, but the building in the foreground, the Cosey Social Club, still remains. Another centre for socialising is the pub – the building with the white gable end beyond the garage. As a collector of pub signs, I find its sign, depicting a fox cub in the snow, particularly appealing.
