Memories of The Bridge c1955, Holt Fleet
Holt Fleet Hotel
In 1954 my father and mother took over the Holt Fleet Hotel when I was 9 years old. The photographs on this site brings back memories of the two years that I spent as a child there. Steamers from Worcester would moor at the landing stage and passengers would disembark for afternoon tea in the grandly named ballroom.
The pictures of the hotel shown on this site are of the original earlier building which was demolished in the 1930s and replaced by one of the larger roadhouses which breweries built so many of at that time. As a child it was an ideal place to grow up and I look back at that time with fondness.
Holt Fleet & local memories
Read and share memories of Holt Fleet and Worcestershire inspired by Frith photos.
Holt 'Castle'
My mother now 85 years old worked in the 'Casle' when it was a girls school, she was about 15, at the time, and like many of her generation had to go into 'service', and leave home. She made friends with the Taylor family who lived in Holt Fleet, I have memories visitng them in their cottage as a young boy, still in school, back home in South Wales. Many years late Dad & Mum took my daughter and I to see the castle, now I believe a private residence, converted to flats
Not Quite A Memory More of A Request
In 1997 we purchased a wooden bungalow near Holt Fleet Lock. We would like to hear any memories anyone may have about residents along the river. There are 9 wooden bungalows in all, we are at the third one. Today we had an unexpected visitor from a lady who owned it years ago and we let her go without really getting any info, HELP!!!
Not Quite A Memory More of A Request
In 1997 we purchased a wooden bungalow near Holt Fleet Lock. We would be interested in any memories about the wooden shacks and their occupants - we have the third bungalow past the kissing gate.
Railway Waggon at Holt Fleet
A family member used to have his home in a railway carriage at Holt Fleet. It may be that various members of my family lived there at different times. If anyone remembers the carriage I would dearly love to hear from them. There was a pond in the garden full of fish as far as I know. The owner was Thomas Picken but it was also used by a family called Aston and possibly Sneath as well. Do you remember it? If so please post your memories. Regards, Mike
