A nice Village and Church

Severn Stoke

St. Denny's

In my travels 2010, I stopped at the picturesque village and Church. Had a meal and a beer in The Rose & Crown. A memory that will linger forever.

A NIGHT OUT AT THE THEATRE.

I met a lovely lady from Baughton Lane while living in central London, the lady's name was at the time Miss Delphine Sherriff. She told where she lived and I have been around your most beautiful landscape. After meeting the lady I went backpacking around Europe for 5 years and lost touch. Whilst living in London we went to see '42nd Street' it Drury Lane. She told me how beautiful Baughton was and I have to agree with her as I now paint and draw there and I took my inspiration from Delphine as I have visited over 60 countries around the world and I found nothing to compare with your local scenery, I have to say thank-you. And I would like to meet up with Miss Sheriff again and thank her, she was the 'Lady in Red' that was no 1 at the time.

Simmonds Hanley Castle

I am researching the Simmonds family who lived in Quay Lane in Hanley Castle about 1900. My father recalls the floods of the early 1900s when Quay Lane flooded and he was trapped up stairs with his mother, Alice Simmonds.

Does any one out there have any information on the Simmonds family as I have a lot of there history to share.

Notes From The Frith Files.

The Village c1955

This photograph shows residents waiting for the No.144 Midland Red bus from Malvern to Worcester outside the village shops. Far left is EW Bird's butchers, left is Cromptons newsagents, off picture further left is Procters general store.  There were three shops in this row, all now closed.  The pub sign behind the lady in the centre is for the Coventry Arms which was down the unmade short lane to the side of the butchers.  This pub was one of three in the village and the first to close in the 1960s.  The lane leading up the hill is Kings Lane.  The tiny tree within the iron circular seat to the left of the cottage didn't last long as the road was widened.

This photograph shows the Red Lion pub set back from the junction of Malvern Road with Upton Road which is on the right.  The traffic island was soon to disappear as this main road section became a one way system by the early 1960s.  The pub still exists.  Seasonal hop pickers would have used the pub as extensive hop yards existed behind the houses on the right.  I lived in this part of Powick and was 5 years old in 1955.
