Worcestershire memories
Police Houses
I used to live with my aunt and uncle at 10 the Crescent from 1948 to 1954. It was a fantastic life there with woods to play in, and streams to divert. An absolute paradise. As young children we could play all day in the woods in complete safety. I often wonder where everyone now is. I played with Rodney Halford, Ian Frathes, Sylvia Frathes, Robert Gamble, and many others. Every day we walked down the lane to Fernhill Heath School, and in the winter it was hell with the snow knee deep. I have lived and worked around the world since then, and am now working in Italy post retirement. But my mind always drifts back to those days at Hindlip. I remember Mr Webb the photographer, and still have the photograph he took of me with Janice Wild. There was also old Mark Dingly in the black and white cottage who always had a kind work for the children. And sadly, Flo Gammon, who organized our Christmas parties,... Read more
The Cadena Cafe
This shot of the High Street presents the signage for the Cadena Cafe, a chain of national cafes (in the 'Lyon's' mould) where shoppers met for coffee and light meals. I have fond memories of visiting the cafe with family and friends, and in particular the stairway down to the coffee lounge, below street level. The coffee lounge was, as I recall, adorned with plants and greenery in subdued lighting and a 'cozy' atmosphere. Worcester's beloved Cadena has now closed, and is now the premises of the Alliance and Leicester.
Edith Gummery
My Grandmother, Edith Joyce Gummery, who was born in Tibberton near Worcestor was a volunteer nurse during WWI and I have an entire autograph album of hers where wounded soldiers who were housed at Battenhall Lodge signed her book.
Living in Worcester
From June 1965 -May 1969 I lived with my family over the Stead & Simpsons shoe shop where my husband was the manager. This is the shop centre right of the picture with the 2 white blinds out. The large 3 bedroomed flat was on the top 2 floors and my youngest son was born Nov 1967 in the top floor bedroom. The shops on street level on this picture have changed, but the upper floors of all the buildings remain unchanged and the High Street is now pedestrianised.
Swimming Across The Severn
I remember swimming the width of the Severn and back again as a sea cadet at the age of 9 or 10, from the boathouse steps.
143
Well it was Malvern Road where I grew up and lived until I was 14.
Our family dwelled in no. 143- the vicarage for St. Johns church, half a mile away.
Malvern Road really is a 50s treat and helps form a marvellous, leafy suburb that is St. Johns.
Place of Birth
I was born in one of the houses shown in this photograph. I lived there for about 4 years and recently went back to St Dunstan's Crescent just to see how much it has changed. I was pleasantly suprised...even the allotments just across the road, where I often went with my Grandad, is still there.
