Nostalgic memories of Monmouth's local history

Share your own memories of Monmouth and read what others have said

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.

My Grandfather owned a butchers shop in Agincourt Square around this time and I wonder if that is him stood outside with the long apron on. My father was also born there in 1913. The surname was Davies
My dad Albert Joseph Harris and mum Brenda Mary used the mill as a machine shop, manufacturing small parts for Morris, Frances Barnett, Triumph, Norton and others. We lived in Redbrook in the now guest house on the corner of Coleford Hill and the A466, the house's name was/is Inglewood, the date above is aproximate. Isn't it shame you haven't got an old picture of Inglewood. My earliest is about 1956. Regards, Roger
My husband Stan went to Hendre, it is now a golf course. He told us he went to school in a mansion house owned by Rolls Royce family. Fab grounds etc. My son William took us to see it. Stan went there because he would not go to school. Going from Caerau to there would have been a culture shock.
