Cheshire memories
Random Memories of Rudheath
I have fond memories of making butter at Bill Walker's farm at the top of Wessex Drive and then going to play in the playing field next door. I also remember speeding down 'Spibey's Hill' on my way to play at the brook in Shipbrook Road. We didn't like the farmer there - he was a grouch! Bread cost 9d a loaf at Birtwistle's Newsagents and, if you were up early enough, you could go up to Roberts Bakery near Shurlach and smell it being baked. The only adult entertainment seemed to be at Shurlach Chapel which held regular Beetle Drives and Jumble Sales! The main shopping areas were the shops down East (or was it West) Avenue where the cobbler, off licence, hairdresser etc were, or in the other direction past the chapel, past the Italian POW camp, and tramp to the wonderful cake shop, chemist etc on the 'new estate' The two coalmen were Norman Broady and Tommy Muskett and they wore leather jerkins to protect themselves when carrying the...

Halford Family
My memories are the Halford family, James, Hannah Halford, and their children Michael, Beverley and Gaynot Halford, we lived at 34 Moorcroft, Plumley, my mum died in 1970, resting in Lower Peover Church. We grew up most of childhood in Plumley, with mum dying, part was in Manchester, but we moved back there, it was a good villiage, where everyone helped each other, sadly me, Beverley, am the only one left, my father died July 28th 1990, my brother died March 2003, my sister died 26 October 2009, the best momories are when we were altogether.
Lower Peover School
I was a pupil at Lower Peover primary school from 1980 to 1986 and have many great memories. Mrs Wraith taught the reception class and we all had pictures so we knew which our pegs and draws were and mine was always a cow. Mrs Wraith also took us all to her house to cook bread. Further up the class I remember the first computer I had ever seen. We had to book a slot to use it and there was a great scrum of children around wanting to watch us use it. I am now involved in the 300 year celebrations of the school in 2010 and we are collating many memories to make a book up about the history of the school, plus memories and old photos.

The Cobbles - Lower Peover
I had two great-aunts who lived in the a house called the Yew Trees, the big house opposite the pub. My two aunts were Martha and Harriet (aka Cissy) Wilkinson. I remember going to see them in the 1950s with my mum. The house seemed huge to me and I have very vivid memories of their garden and playing in the huge Yew Tree. The sisters were born at Moss Bank Farm in Toft and George Bell, who I suppose named the Bells of Peover pub, was my great-great-uncle. I am descended from his brother - James Bell.
Knutsford Moor
I was born in Knutsford in 1953 at no 3 Woodlands Drive. I always remember Knutsford Moor and the quaint little shops in Knutsford town centre itself, especially Hollands toffee shop, it was so tiny, I would love a photo of that. In the mornings we would go and buy a fishing net and take a jam jar with string attached to carry it with and go fishing in the river Lily where we would spend most of the day. We fed the ducks on the moor and collected bullrushes for Mum to put in a vase, also the reeds to make whips with, we had so much fun then, really lovely summers, I can't ever remember being bored. My father's family lived at the Elms on Mobberley Road for many years. I attended little Edgerton School and later went to Crosstown Infant School because Edgerton was going to be knocked down, and then they closed Crosstown Infant School because it was unsafe and knocked that down too, it...

My Days in Northwich
I was born in Northwich in 1966, however I moved here to Lancashire in 1980 but I still consider time in Northwich as being the best days of my life. I moved here when I was 14, I lived in Greenhall Road and my best friend Tracey lived on Victoria Road. We were great friends then and still remain friends now even though we both moved away from the area. Most of my best memories were boys boys boys... probably is when your 13 and 14! I used to love the town - Tracey and I would finish school on Friday nights get dressed up and straight to the Rudheath youth club, then Saturdays down the town chippy first though, then downtown, bought a few records, then for a drink in Popormbies cream soda was great, then to Woolworths to look at more records, messed about in the phone box for a while (like you do at that age god knows why). Then home, usually round to my Auntie Nonie's... Read more
