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 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...

Does anyone remember Alice Amy Robinson or any of the Robinsons, who lived at 33 Broadway Shifnal during the war? I would love any memories of them. Thankyou, Barbara Madeline de Havilland (formerly known as Margaret Robinson)

My grandparents moved to Shifnal in 1930. They moved from Trescot when my mother was two, they were Doris and Charlie Johnson and my mother was Sylvia. My Uncle Noel still lives in Shifnal so I still retain my links but would love to be in touch more and share memories as my mother died recently and I feel that I want to hold on to Shifnal as I have so many happy memories of it.

I would love to hear from anyone who has memories of my mother Sylvia who left Shifnal when she married John Simons in 1958. She lived in London from that date but frequently returned with me to visit. My mother's best freind was Hilda Easthope and I have fond memories of her as she married my father's best man and moved to London. Ii would love to share memories with anyone who holds Shifnal dear to their heart.

Dove Club

The White Hart 1898
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

When I was growing up in Shifnal there was no carnival, only the Dove Club weekend, the fair visited the last weekend in June as it still does to this day. My memories of that time are always having something new to wear and Grandad sharing out the pennies he had saved amongst all his grandchildren for us to spend down the fair. All the family came to visit and we used to meet up with all our relations down the street, and at the end of the night on the Saturday we had a treat of a packet of crisps and a bottle of pop around the back of the White Hart, this was for a time also run by the Houlston family who were related to my grandmother.
