My Primary School
What a lovely old photo! I was lucky enough to spend my primary school years, 1962 to 1968, at Lower Withington primary school as did my sister Cathy and my mum and uncle before us. Our headmistress lived in the house next door to the school and believe it or not she actually taught my mum and uncle also!
We all have many good memories of growing up in Lower Withington and all these years on it still feels like home when we go back even though we moved away in 1969.

More Barber Family
My G-G grandfather Joseph Barber married Maria Clark, both of Lower Withington, in the Parish of Prestbury 18th March 1819.
Fire Damage.
The Smithy was destroyed by fire about 1900. A new Smithy was built in its place.
Village Shop, Nether Alderley
It is often stated that the village shop was also the Post Office, but this is not true. There was a letter box (bar) in the wall, but the nearest Post Office was at Monk's Heath. The village shop was very small but sold a variety of products from chicken feed to postcards.
Great Times
In the late 1960s and early 1970s I stayed here for my school hols, my grandmother worked for Mr and Mrs Bodd who were the owners at the time. My grandparants lived in part of the house round the side which in itsself was large. One thing that sticks out in my mind is the sights of a few ghosts that were about the place, and a bricked room between two of the bedrooms upstairs opposite the bathroom, there was always something going on in or about this area, at one time I was in the bathroom and the door handle started to shake and the door was rattling, when I grabbed the door and opened it there was nobody there; thirty years later I was telling my uncle this and he said that it had happened to him too, many times, when he lived there, he was surprised that I knew about this as at the time they did not want to tell us kids about it, as it...

US Army 167th Signal Photo Company
The US Army 167th Signal Photo Company was stationed in Mobberley in Nissen huts from August 1st to Sptember 1st 1944. Among other activities they used to go in the pub "Bird in Hand" which still exist today.
They embarked from Southampton on September 4th 1944 to debark at Omaha Beach the next day. From then, they toured the ETO front to photograph and film the war. Their work was labeled "Signal Corps Photos" making all individual behind the lens anonymous. Let's not forget about them as they helped to document the events of WWII for future generations.
Anyone having memories of those fine men are welcome to contact me to complete my research at olivierherlin@hotmail.com
