Nostalgic memories of Mastin Moor's local history

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

Mastin Moor Isolation Hospital

I lived in Killamarsh and during the war I developed scarlet fever. I was admitted to the isolation hospital and was in for 6 weeks. Mother and Dad visited but had stay outside and talk to me through a closed window. There was a Doctor Lewis who treated the patients and a nurse I think they called Martha Brown Does anyone remember the Hospital

Policeman In Mastin Moor.

My dad, mum and sister moved to Mastin Moor from Tottenham, North London as Dad was a Policeman (PC Leslie Wetherall), this was in 1947. I was born there in 1948. We lived in what was the Police House just below what was the hospital going towards Staveley. It is a semi-detached house between two rows of terraced houses on the right. We moved from there to Grindleford in 1953. We later moved back to Barlborough in 1956/57.
