Butchers Shop
I have a picture of a double fronted butchers shop in the corn market. Over the door it says L.Pugh, outside is the butcher and his wife and probably their daughter Marie. A family story was that a lad from the family when asked who he was replied "Jack Pugh, Leominster, kill sheep" I assume there was an abbatoir behind the shop.
The picture is in an album of my parents around the 1920's. Any information please email me at bpmann@ntlworld.com

The Broom Maker of 1862
I am researching my family tree and have discovered that my great-grandfather, Thomas Ashcroft, a besom (broom) maker, lived and made brooms at 122 Mill Street in 1862 before migrating to South Wales. I believe that most of the old Mill Street houses have long since been demolished, I shall visit one day and have look.
Nash School
I went to live in Nash in 1955 as a foster child. I attended Nash School from 1955 - 1958 when Mrs Jones was the headmistress. The school sadly closed in 1958 and we were moved to Burford School near Tenbury Wells.
Life at Nash School was idyllic and we used to run through the lanes to school every day. When it snowed badly we stayed at home or were taken in by tractor! I still have a photo of us all on the day the school closed in July 1958. There were 23 pupils and Mrs Jones.
Even now at night I often lie in bed remembering the days around the lanes. The glorious flowers, catkins, conkers, crab apples, blackberries and elderberries. The list is endless. Reading Laurie Lee always remind me of so much!
I went to school with the Tenchs from Groom's Cottage at Knowle, the Bowkleys from Harthall and the Postans from Nash. We were poor, scruffy and dishevelled but we had a... Read more
The LOWE Family in Market Street
My great grandfather, Andrew Corden LOWE moved to Tenbury Wells about 1904 with his wife Florence "Flo" and their two little children: Douglas age 4 and my grandmother Cordelia "Queenie", age 1. He was an Ironmonger and they lived on Market Street until the early 1930's. They had 3 more children: Cyril "Cil", Winifred, and Eric. His wife died in 1910.
He married again, to Mabel - known as "May" and had 5 more children: Peter, Jean, Philip, Barbara, and Philip.
Andrew left Tenbury by 1934 but was back by 1954 and died here in Berrington Road in 1958.
His son Eric LOWE lived here almost all his life: he was Mayor from 1976-1977, he started the Worcester-to-Tenbury Race in 1963, he began the Tenbury Museum. He was known as "Mr. Tenbury" I'm told.
Eric worked as the manager of Messrs F.H.Burgess Ltd until he retired in 1970; he died in 1984.
Does anyone recall the Ironmonger's shop? Where might I find a photo, or deeds,... Read more
My Birth
I was born at Bury Cottages, Ivington. My grandmother and maiden aunt lived there. The midwife was Nurse Norman. I was christened at Ivington Church where my mum and dad were married. Also my brother was born in the same black and white cottage and was also christened in the church. I spent every summer there until I was about 16, so have many lovely memories. My aunt and uncle lived at Hyde Ash and we would cycle up there to a farm to get butter. Another aunt and uncle lived on Bircher Common 7, another at Kingsland.
Ye Old Tuck Shop And Mrs Price
My grandmother was Ann Elizabeth Price and lived in a beautiful house. She ran a little shop in the house and it was called YE OLD TUCK SHOPE. It is the most beautiful little village I have every seen. I remember the people around, how kind and friendly the were. The buttons and the Davies and old Fred. I remember playing in the meadow and paddling in the brook, and fetching water from the spring. I had a fabulous childhood and came over every year from Ireland with my mum and brother and sisters. I would love if someone from those times 62 - late 70's would get in touch if they have any memories.
Mrs Price's Tuck Shop
I lived at Lucton in the late 1960s and remember buying sweets from the shop.
I vaguely remember a young girl staying there who we played with in the meadow. The Buttons Sandra mentions are probably the BUFTONS.
