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 tell me 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 in the morning sorting out the newspapers and delivering them as well as running the post office.  They had three children, Nancy, Bob and Dorothy, they were all brought up in the village and helped in the shop, and knew everyone in the village with living at the Post Office. Of course the village was a lot smaller then. Across the road from the Post Office, on the corner, was a Smithy, where I can remember horses being shod and the sound of the anvil as they put the shoes on the horses.

My childhood

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 the South of France, after having lived and travelled abroad for most of my life. However Crewe is where I was born and I have fond memories of it. Though I must say it has changed so much that I hardly recognize the place anymore. So if anyone can remember Lynne Wald please do get in touch.
