Memories of The Green 1955, Minstead
The Old Cottage
The cottage on the left of the photo was The Old Cottage and my grandparents (my father's parents) were living in it at the time the photo was taken.
After my grandfather's death my parents, my brother and sister and I together with my mother's mother moved down from Birmingham and living with my grandmother until we moved into our new house. My grandmother only died in 2006 and is now buried at Minstead churchyard.
It was a lovely house and I have wonderful memories of it.

Memorys
Came to Minstead for a weeks break to help my wife rest and recover from breast cancer.
Stayed in a very nice thatched cottage.
We live in a village in Saddleworth that is beautiful, but Minstead the village the people and most of all the church just made it so nice.
Just to sit in the garden of the Minstead cottage at night and look at the stars in the calm night was so nice.
Although it can't cure my beautiful wife's dreadful cancer, it did help just to walk down tree and flower covered lanes and be in such a peaceful place.
My wife has always had horses but had to let them go due to her illness so to see so many beautiful animals was great, I'm sure a ride through the forest would just take her back to happier and healthier times, maybe next year as we will be back.
I would highly recommend a walk back in time when people and feelings mattered.
