Cornwall memories
Scraesdon
My family, being mother, father, brother and I (Nancy Laythorn) moved to Scraesdon Cottage in 1940. Under the watchful eye of the Headmistress, Mrs Crabb, Joy Maddever, Margaret Hitchcock and I passed our 11 plus, continuring our education at Saltash Grammar. We were driven by bus each day.
During the Second World War we had a number of foreign soldiers stationed in the Fort, British, Polish, American and finally the German Prisoners of War.
It was the Americans that that made an impact, as being only 8/9 years old my brother and I were invited into the fort to watch the Ensa shows, as we did when the British were there. Sadly the Americans went from Scraesdon to the Normandy beaches, few surviving. If anyone knows the info on the American regiments I would be interested to know.
Saturday was Dance Night in the Village Hall and my mother used to help serve the teas during interval times. The RAF were stationed near, as were the sailors... Read more
That Might be Me?
I was born in the chalet that this photo on the left partly shows, in 1951. The person sunbathing could be me at 13 or 14 years of age. I was Christine Elliott then. The name was 'Lucerne', my great grand parents owned 'San Remo', next door, from about 1938. All the family went there to live in 1940, when their house was bombed in Stonehouse.
Donkey Halt.
The bungalow in the centre of the photograph is called Donkey Halt as when the carts of pilchards were taken up the hill by donkeys they stopped there for a rest before tackling the very steep hill to the main road at the top.
'The Rame Peninsula Through Time'
I am currently compiling a book for Amberley Publishing called 'The Rame Peninsula Through Time'. The book will feature 90 old photos and 90 new photos. The new photos will all be in colour. I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to lend me and old personal photos they have of the area? Email copies would be fine. I think it will prove to be a very interesting and attractive book when it's completed. Thanks for any help anyone can give me, it's much appreciated. Best wishes, Derek Tait. derek.tait@virgin.net

as early as i can remember, chamber rock has never changed
Glebe Barn
It was such a delight to find our house so clearly captured by the photographer in this composition! The barns pictured to the right of the church were bought by my husband and I in 1998. Originally they were grain storage barns, and in later years the village barn-dances were held there. They were converted to residential in 1983 by the previous owners, and run as a guest house. We have shared 10 happy years here in this beautiful place with many holiday visitors who came to stay.
Sadly, I have to move on now, as my husband has passed away, but the memories are permanently captured in this print.
