My family had 'The Carlton' shop during my childhood and teenage years. My mum and dad (82 and 87) still live in Sutton, and I get back to visit often (I live in Spain). I have many fond memories of Little Sutton. I went to Berwick Road (as did my brothers Nick and Roger). I remember remember playing tennis at Hooton Tennis Cub up Berwick Road, the Methodist Youth Club with ...see more
I am trying to trace an ancester, James Nuttall, who was born in Rochdale in 1820 and became a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons. He is listed as living in Little Sutton, Cheshire, in the Medical Registers of 1859 & 1863. Although there are entries for him in the 1841 & 1851 census returns when he was living in Liverpool, I cannot find any entries in any subsequent censuses. Does anyone ...see more
I am trying to find the history of the Travellers Rest pub, Leadsham Road. I have been told it was once called The Drum And Monkey but don't have any dates is there anyone out there that has any old pictures or photos or can help with dates? If so, please contact me.
Hi there, I am researching the history of a few properties in Little Sutton, and I am trying to trace a house that was called 'Enmore' in 1936, in New Street. A John Baugh lived there up until his death in 1936. Would anybody know if this house still exists, and how I might locate it? I understand that the house name has now changed, although I dont know when this happened. Any suggestions would be gratefully received, Thanks
I have noticed one or two comments with regard to 'Mitchelmores Gardens' in Duddleston Road/Black Lion Lane. I think that the writers are perhaps a little confused. Mr Mitchelmore was an Elder of the Presbyterian Church and also the Sunday School Superintendent. As I recall he did have a lovely garden but he and his wife lived in Station Road. As I understand it ...see more
Hi, I'm trying to trace my family tree, I am looking for Gerald Lewis, son of the late Gerald and Dulice Lewis (nee Waring). I was told Gerald Lewis worked with/or was friends with John Hoare, John Hoare was well known in the Ellesmere Port area. I was told Gerald moved to Anglesey but cannot find him, any advice or help would be appreciated, thanks, Valerie.
Yes, I remember Mitchelmores Garden. I loved walking past there as a child because they grew the most wonderful Fuschias in the front garden. They owned adjoining houses on the corner of Duddleston(?)Rd. a relative lived in the corner one and Mr. & Mrs. Mitchelmore lived in the next one. I believe Mr. Mitchelmore worked in the office of the iron works. Phyllis Garner was quite a talented artist . ...see more
Just going through all my clutter and found a beautful painting that I would like more information on. It is signed on the back Mitchelmores Garden, Black Lion Lane, Little Sutton painted by Phyllis Garner. It shows two people sitting on a deckchair by a Shed/greenhouse with what appears to be a large house in the background. Anyone heard of this garden or indeed Mitchelmore.......
It’s lovely to read all your memories especially yours Deb, my best friend! I was at Berwick Road Primary school from 1960-1965, I remember the aptly named Mrs Pie the dinner lady, also Mr Jones the new assistant head who had radical ideas on education, and an equally radical hair style. One of the first classes I remember him teaching was English, he came into the class with a metal bucket and a jug of water, he ...see more
Hi, I can see that Janet Lee has posted some info, I am wondering if you are the older sister of Patricia Lee or perhaps another relative. Their family emigrated to Australia on the Canberra some time in the early 1960s. I was also a pupil at Berwick Road and recognise some of the names that have been mentioned as well as all the locations such as the rec, nature walks up Margarets Lane, library (& the grotty ...see more
