Question on Ryton House
Hello everyone, I am doing some genealogy work and found a distant relative who was a groom at Ryton House (as listed on the census). I can't find any reference to it online, does anyone remember such a place or have any idea what it might mean.
Thanks in advance

Daughter of The Village Bobby
I was born in the police house at Norton, the 4th child of Nigel and Beryl Evans, in 1958. I loved growing up there next to the farm, now the Hundred House car park. I was always out with Uncle Wood, fetching the cows in, helping him with the milking, mucking out. I had my own special pikel! Ggetting the eggs from under the hens, finding wild kittens in the barns, I could go on. Us kids would go out all day in the summer with a bottle of pop, sandwiches and crisps, and we were safe wandering round all the fields looking for birds nests. A walk around Apley Terrace was great, sitting in the cave on the view pretending Apley Hall was a palace! Sadly now there is no village school or shop and we moved into Bridgnorth when I was about 12 which I didn't want to do. Happy days.
Madeley - as it Was
I was born in 1949 in Victoria Road, Madeley and have many memories of life as it was in the 1950's onwards. I remember Jones' buses, Pooles the cobblers, Carters, Stodd's the Drapers, Shums the chemist, and most memorable of all, Nellie Oakes' shop in Park Avenue. It was always a delight to visit there to purchase four chews for a penny and sherbert and liquorice. The small shedlike store was packed with boxes of stock but Nellie knew every item she had. Vinegar was kept in a wooden barrell outside.
My Grandfather, the late William (Billy) Jones and his mates used to sit on the wall down the gully, (a narrow lane, which is now the road which runs along side Elcocks Coaches) just smoking Woodbines and sharing their stories of life down the pit. Although Grandad enjoyed a pint of beer he would never sit in a pub instead he would send us down to the Barley Mow in Court... Read more
Dawley
My father was born In Dawley, John Leslie Millward, his brothers were Charles, and Leslie, and they were brought up by their grandad who was the village blacksmith, and Minister, in Dawley. I myself am John Leslie Millward Jnr, I live in Canada now. I just wondered if anyone from Dawley remembers them or their children's whereabouts.
MANY MEMORIES
I was born in Madeley in 1951. My father was a coach driver for A.L.Jones of Victoria Road. I spent a lot of my early years sitting on the front seat of the coach, and sometimes on the engine cover next to Dad. I'm sure Health and Safety would have had a field day if they had been around then. I remember the winter of 1963 and the fact that I used to get into a lot of trouble with the other children at school. Dad used to drive the Coalport school bus and we used to catch it from the Wimpey's to the Madeley Modern. In all the bad snow and frost we used to say that the bus would not get through. Every day we used to say it, but guess what, it still managed to arrive with mostly Dad driving. This to the disgust of some of my friends, who thought we could get a day off. In all that time I don't remember school closures, things... Read more
E M Goliah
My Grandmother Mrs E M Goliah had a general stores on Broadway I believe it was sold circa 1956 due to ill health, I believe it was an Elizabethan style property, and was next door to Cheadles, the 'clock' shop. The property no longer exists due to 'redevelopment'
I Miss Shifnal And Have Very Happy Fond Memories.
I have just gone onto this site. I remember the Goliahs. It was when I was a little girl, Mr Goliah used to regularly visit my dad and I think at one stage he dropped off a load of cattle manure with a horse and cart for our garden. I can also remember the milkman in the early 1950s delivering milk with the horse and cart. What a memory. My name is Jane, my maiden name was 'Humphries'. My brother still lives there at Custer Castle in Shaw Lane. Dad, better known as 'Jack', used to run the bakery in Aston Street with a cake shop in Bradford Street. We lived over the shop (and a toy shop in the corner). My father worked for Lloyds the Grocers which was in Park Street (can't remember what the place is now but the building is still there). There was an abattoir behind the grocery shop and one of my earliest memories was of dad wheeling our bacon pig down from our... Read more
