Herefordshire memories

Tyberton

While trying to follow up on my family history, I called into the Church and looked around the gravestones and was surprised to find my Great Grandfather and great Grandmother's final resting place. The stone was a bit worn by time but the names and dates were clear. I decided to go back some months later and had taken a special solvent to clean the stone which I knew would not damage the stone.
A few years ago I called there again and the old stone stood out amongst the others.
I felt proud that even though I never knew them, I did my little bit to keep their resting place tidy.

Born Here

I was born in Moccas at Castle Cottage. My grandmother lived at the common where, on her death I moved with my parents to the common. My father and his father put the fencing around Moccas Park which some of it still remains today.

Lower Breinton

Lived there as a young child to an adult. Walking our dog Sam down by the river Breinton springs. Very peaceful place to live. Children near by Stacy, Josh.

Great Great Grandparents

I have a copy of a marriage certificate, of a marriage which took place in Allensmore Church in 1824, between JAMES PRITCHARD and MARTHA PREECE, has anyone got any further information they can give me? (These persons were my Great/Great/Grandparents).

Whitfield During World Wat II

My father was the Head Gardener and also commander of the local Home Guard. We lived in the servants quarters of the Manor House which was otherwise unoccupied at the time. Later on it was used as a rest home for Canadian and other British Empire officers. The estate was also an Army Base, used for storing army vehicles. I was 6 years old in 1940 and remember the Army Base and the Home Guard training. Madley Air Force Base was about 3 miles away and allowed local children to their cinema.

ROMAN DIG

In about 1957-8 our history teacher at Hereford High School arranged for those that were interested to make a 'dig' in the yard besides the library ( on the left with the arches). We dug down at least 6 feet or more finding Victorian stuff and other older stuff as we went down and finally I found a Roman pot which I managed to break while getting it out of the packed earth. We had been given absolutely no instructions or training as to how this should have been handled. The teacher was a tad cranky about it but as far as I am concerened it was his fault...what does a 14 year old know about these things ? We were lucky not to get killed as there was no supports for the sides of the trench.

Seems Like Yesterday!

I had to pass through here every day on my way to and from Hereford High School. This photo is so familiar it isn't funny !!

I lived in the army camp officer's quarter's at Bradbury Lines where my stepfather was stationed. I had to make the walk no matter what the weather..sometimes getting home completely frozen or soaked !
