Cornwall memories
Bluecap
I remember well the Saturday Night Dances at the Bluecap Hotel in the 50's & 60's, now pulled down. The Bull's Head was more up-market. I lived at St Dominick and remember the Cattle Market. I was going to Callington Grammer School when King George V1 and family came to open the Royal Cornwall Show at Callington we all had the day off to go to the Show. There was a Youth Club where we played table tennis etc. and learnt to dance. I have nothing but fond memories of Callington.
Memories.
My mother ran Burraton Post Office from 1950 to about 1990 and sold Frith postcards. The cows are being driven by Mrs Cook, a farmer's wife, whose farm was about 300 yards behind the photographer in Liskeard Road, Burraton. The farm was called 'The Elms'. The farmhouse is still there, but is now an old peoples' home called The Elms. The farmland has been built on.
Burraton Post Office
Hi Bob. I remember your mother behind the Post Office counter. Your cat used to regularly attack our dog as we passed your front gate on the way to Burraton Park. We both went to Saltash Grammar School in the late fifties. I lived with Mrs Richards at 382 New Road a matter of a couple of hundred yards away near what used to be called the Coronation Inn and later was renamed the Rodney. Roger's shop was further down New Road from us. I believe it is now a Spar Store.
Nanny Cook
The lady driving the cows was my great-grandma Nanny Cook and the little girl in the photo was my mum.

Rising Sun / USA Family Decendents
My memory is from my father Douglas Willcocks, he would speek of his grandfather in Gunnislake. He said, that he owned a pub called the Rising Sun. I am trying to locate relatives that might have info. His father's name was John Willcocks. I am also trying to locate my grandmother's family, her name was Olive Sutton. My father said, when he was a child he would run to the mailbox to pick up a letter from his grandmother and drop one off from his mom. This went on for as long as he could remember. I am hoping that maybe just one letter has survived. I know these letters would be filled with family life and about her four sons that were her pride and joy. This would have been about 1930, as my father was born in Gunnislake in 1921. My father died this last summer at age 90. He always wondered about these letters, I feel bad that I waited so long but it would be nice to have something from... Read more
The Picture House.
How many people remember the picture shows which were held in a hut at the top of the hill. I was one of the London evacuees billeted at Minions, and some of us would walk to the pictures and back again - how far was that! We were at Upton Cross school and I can recall the class being told to bring a lunch to school one day as Mr Bartholomew, our teacher, was to take us up on the moors, I think towards Sharp Tor, to see a bomb crater. Relations of the elderly couple I lived with owned Addicroft Mill, they were George and Ethel Pike, and we loved going there. I believe the Mill was bought at one time by the author and artist Norman Thelwell, and I have his book, 'A Millstone Round My Neck', with his drawing of the Mill. I used to visit Cornwall most years and always came back to Minions, usually to have a pub lunch, and then drove down the hill... Read more
