Somerset memories
Collecting Parafin
I remember well having to walk from Greenway estate to collect parafin from the machine outside of the garage on the right. Every day we walked to school in the village and we would call into the shop and spend our pennies on sweets, ice pops on the way home if it was hot.
Milverton Good Old Days
I used to live at Buttsway House up past Courtfields.
MILVERTON MORE HOLIDAY IN SOMERSET REMEMBERED
Dear Reader, My brother Alex and I spent many a happy holidays with my great uncle & aunt Jim and Curly Pile. They moved from managing the Rock Inn at Waterrow 1954- 1965 (retiring) to BarBrook House, Fore Street, Milverton in 1965 until 1988. The house is a large Georgian house with an upstairs flat which my grandparents lived in, Archie and Pat Bishop, 1967- 1980 ish. Jim and Curly knew many of the farmers and local people, from time to time they would help holiday manage the local pub at the far end of Milverton. The post office was a wonderful Aladdin's cave of toys and games, my aunt bought me a jigsaw puzzle of the Beatles, it would be worth a fortune now. The Cotrells had the dairy and with Don Farley my uncle and my younger brothers we would cram into his little red Austin Mini Countryman. We would all help with the apple picking and cider making at Cotrells farm. A school friend Donald Haniford used... Read more
Mother's Memory
My mother is now 86 years old and her short term memory is failing fast. She can remember things from her childhood more easily. She was born in Silver Street, Milverton in 1921, the daughter of Percy Frank Moore and Hilda Winter. Percy was a local baker and he would take her on his bike to deliver bread around the village. She says she played in an area of land called the "the Kill".
Percy was later persuaded to join his brothers in Cambridgeshire and the family moved in about 1927-8ish to the flat fens. Hilda never got over the move, and hated the flat landscape all her life.
My Childhood Holidays Spent in Milverton
My name is Rosie Pearce and I live in Tintagel, North Cornwall. These are just a few of my many childhood memories of Milverton. I lived in Reading with my father and grandmother after my mum died in 1954, I was 9. I used to spend summer holidays with Mr & Mrs Andrews (Auntie Joyce and Uncle Fred) at The George Hotel. They were the best days of my life. I made many friends, Jessie King who lived next door, Sheila Winters and her sister Margie whose mum ran the sweet shop the other side of the pub, then there was Janet Law who lived in the big house nxt to the church, Sally Rush and her family including her grandparents who owned Tuckers Farm and shop. As I got older I started to do the milk round with Shirley Redwood who lived up the Butts. We are still in touch which is lovely. Freddie had lots of brothers and sisters, hope I can remember them all! There was Frank... Read more
Bradford on Tone Village School
I attended the village school and Mrs Richardson was our teacher, I lived in Taunton and travelled daily on the bus from Taunton and walked from the main road to the village school and back to the bus after school, I never remember it raining. I have very happy memories of the school and Mrs Richardson. I want to tell my grandchildren about my school days and would like to hear from anyone else who was at the school at the same time. looking at details of the village on the net it seems that the school is closed and I would like to know when this was.

Chapel House
I have lived for 20 years in Chapel House at Bradford on Tone. From outside it looks like a 1930s rendered house but was actually the Congregationalist Chapel in the 19th century. It didn't last long as a Chapel and was sold privately and later bought by the Berry family who lived next door (now Bradford House) and the chapel was the garage for the original Berry's buses. I would love to know if anyone has memories of the Chapel when it was used for its original purpose and particularly if anyone has any photographs of it as it was built.
