USAF at East Kirkby
I was with the USAF at RAF Sturgate and was transferred to East Kirkby in Mar 1957. I worked in the personnel office and lived in the barracks that was located where the turkey farm is now. Many happy memories...the Red Lion was known as Fred's pub. After I got married to a girl from Grimsby, I lived for a while with with my wife in a small flat in the Grange at Miningsby. The Grange was owned by a guy named Morris (Maurice?) who had a bloke named George who worked for him. I bought George a pair of Levi jeans from the BX once and was he thilled. Left there in 1958 as it was closing.
Memories of A Child
I remember Eastville as a child growing up, we used to visit and stay with my nan (Linda Howard) every bank holiday. It was very quiet and peaceful. We had some lovely times, Grandad (John Howard) was the local smithy. Most times some of us would walk what dad called the 5 mile walk from the corner by the pub (the Wheatsheaf), and I remember the nights when the chip shop opened, it was heaven, they were scrummy, we (my brothers and sisters) used to like the batter scraps. My nan lived in one of the council houses across from the grain mill, we also used to go to the shop - Cooks general stores. There might be some families living there that still remember our family, mainly because there were 11 of us kids, Mom and Dad were Barbara and Alf. One of the other things was the home grown veggies and fruit that Nan would have growing in the back garden, Mom and Dad would always come away... Read more
'Kingsley' Boston Road , Sibsey
My late uncle, Walter J Urquhart, lived at the above address, with his wife Margaret O Urquhart(nee Brodie). Margaret's widowed mother also lived there, she was Mrs I E Brodie (nee Campbell). Mrs Brodie died at Sibsey in 1972. These three people were Scots-born. My uncle, W J Urquhart, was described as a 'Smallholder' in the telephone directory.
My Ashby Puerorum Family
My Tasker and Lawies families come from the tiny village of Ashby Puerorum so I went to see the place in 1971 when I first became interested in tracing my family tree.
There is a beautiful church - St Andrew's - surrounded by a lovely churchyard and I enjoyed searching among the gravestones until I found two for my family. I have not returned there since but it wqold be interesting to see as I planted some dafodills on the graves back in 1971. I wonder if they are still there!
OLD PICS REQUIRED
Hi all who read this... I have lived in Bratoft now in this very old cottage since 1992. I am very interested in any info about this cottage, Great Steeping Cottage, or Steeping Cottage as it was once called. The property was empty when we moved here. We have been told that the original part of which was a one up & one down is around 200 years old. I am looking for old pics, maybe any old pics previous to 1980. The older the better but anything would be great to have. And also any history... This cottage is also very haunted and again history may shed some light on these happenings. Anyone that may have lived here previous to 1992, we would love to hear from you... I can be reached via e mail: andy_guy_uk@yahoo.com and all mails will be answered.. Thanks for your time and I hope someone will read this from older times..
The Woolpack Hotel, Wainfleet
This isn't a memory, but I would like to hear about other people's memories as to the Woolpack at Wainfleet. I have been the landlady of this hotel for the last 7 months and would like to know some history about the premises prior to the 1950s - can anyone help?
