A Silvery Dust
What I am about to write was once classified information; but due to the BBC documentary I can disclose and inform you that I had a brother in law who is dead now, but I recall things of which he was to tell me as in confidence: I forget the exact year; but I think it was in the early 70s. Where he worked at the A W R E as a cleaner; what he described to me was documented on television quite a number of years later. The A W R E had an accident with some radioactive dust of which was stored in Barrels within a secure building. over a period of many years these barrels had rotted away and that these particles had intermingled with another Type of Radioactive Particle, the two combined together were the makings of a Nuclear bomb; except that the two components neglected being a solid mass rather than particles. A claxon had sounded where men like my brother-in law and a... Read more
Rookery Farm
My grandad came from Monk Sherbourne. He lived at the Rookery Farm. I used to go there as a child, the kitchen was huge, there were two doors, one went through to an apple store, the other must have been a well, the water ran under the house. It was my Aunt Berta who we used to visit. My grandparents the Allen family are buried in a family plot in the churchyard. Good days.

Bramley School Days
I have strong memories of the church as every day at 10 we had to walk down the church path to pick up the milk also.our playground backed onto the graveyard so when there was a funeral we had to come inside which we thought was most unfair.After school we would wonder around the grave yards which was a big no no by the vicker . I have strong memories of the church after being in Australia for some 40years the internet has brought back memories.Any body who went to the church or school i would welcome contact. Andrew Locke
Sunday School
We came back to Bramley in 1958, and I went to school there, until 1964. Every Sunday we used to go to Sunday School. Miss Tubb was the Sunday school mistress, and Tommy Tunstall was the vicar. It was fantastic, a lovely village to grow up in. So safe to cycle round. My name was Attwood in those days, and sometimes my Dad helped out by taking the services in church.
Flying Scotsman Through Bramley Station
I think it was 1963. The Flying Scotsman steam train came through Bramley station. I was only small, and we all gathered to watch it come through at a fantastic speed! I remember the station master, Jimmy Seagull, telling us kids to stand well back, as it was likely to suck us off the platform if we got too close!
We saw lots of steam trains in those days, but rarely one as famous as that.
Also in the picture is Hanmore's grocers. we used to get a chocolate Raspberry Ruffle every time we went in there, and the butcher next door hung my rag doll on one of his spikes when I took her in once!
