Cornwall memories
William And Ann Bloxam
Does anyone have any information about William Bloxam of Moditonham, who died in probably the 1860's? His wife Ann (nee Burnett) died there in 1837.
William Steed - Pub Landlord 1860-1880; Sportsman's Arms
I have traced my ancestor William Steed and wife Anne Steed as landlords of Sportsmans Arms Inn Notterbridge in 1860s for twenty years, living here with nine children and John Doidge, lodger, and servant Sophia Burnett aged eleven. William Steed was born in Menheniot 1824 and wife Anne 1827 also. When the family left the Inn they went to live in Newton Abbot, Torquay. William and Anne Steed are my Great, Great Grandparents. William at aged fifteen lived and worked as a servant in Fore Street, Saltash.
Jack And Peggy Robinson
I am a niece of former Landlords Jack and Peggy Robinson and remember with great affection the happy holidays I spent with them, helping out occasionally behind the bar and chatting with the locals. Everyone was so friendly and it was everybody's local to catch up with the latest news. We did visit again some 20 years ago and this lovely hostelry will always be in my thoughts.
Rats, Rats And More Rats.
This photograph was obviously taken when the road bridge was nearing completion in 1961. My husband grew up nearby, and tells some gruesome stories about the plague of rats they experienced when the undergrowth was being cleared in the early days of construction. The family cat would bring home several rats each day, and local gardens were over-run with them. Worse still, they got into outhouses and sheds, under floorboards and even into houses.
Which Side of The River Tamar?
This photo is actually taken from the Devon side of the River Tamar, in St Budeaux, looking towards Saltash on the Cornwall side. In photos taken after the road bridge opened in 1961, you can tell which side is which, as from the Devon side the rail bridge is on the left. Before then, it depends on the angle of the photo i.e. if the railway line comes into view from your left and curves to the left in the distance, usually with the bridge to the right, then you are looking from Devon towards Cornwall.
Grandad's Grandads.
The white building on the far right of the photo is the Royal Albert Bridge Inn, at Saltash Passage on the Devon side on the river. A relative was born there in 1920 when his father John Augustin R. Stoneman was the landlord. Prior to that the landlord was John Watts Stoneman, father of JARS. His other grandfather was William John Bronte, who told his grandson that he had been told by his mother that she held him in her arms as a baby, standing on the bridge at the official opening in 1859.
Life in Full Circle
The little house next to Mary Newman`s Cottage is where I live now...but I first walked past it with my mother at about the time this photo was taken.
We got off the steam train at the station just up the hill, to walk to the waterside.
I also remember the house about 8 years later as a young teenager with our gang
from Plymouth...over to scrump the apples and pears which were once grown on Old Ferry Road. It was just by chance that I discovered that the little house was for sale in 1992 and I have been living here since.
Up until the 70s there was a gas works at the back of the house and a 3 storey
warehouse at the front now both demolished...so now I have wonderful views of
the River Tamar and Brunel`s Royal Albert Bridge. A couple of years age a nice old fella from London stopped to talk to me outside my house...it turned out that he once lived here... Read more
