Memories of Gloucestershire

Evacuees

I was evacuated to Evenlode as a small child, I lived with a family in a small cottage opposite the school, I would be interested to make contact with anyone with a similar history or of knowledge of the area at that time. I am not sure of the year, I was quite young. Frank Piner

Looking For Information

Hi, I'm currently researching the strange circles found in the farmer's field at Evenlode during June 1960 which were investigated by Stratford-upon-Avon man John Dennis Llewellyn and his wife Ruby. A Mr Coles from the 'Strores at Evenlode which I have no information on took some excellent colour photographs of the mysterious marks but then failed to let Mr Llewllyn or his companion David C Jones have them, does any one remember Mr Coles or his shop?

Where my Heart Is.

I remember living in Evenlode for nearly 5 years. Mum and Dad ran the Stores and I went to school next door. Mrs Dee was our teacher and there were around 20 of us who attended, all receiving an excellent education from her. I remember that time with a golden glow and write about it all the time. We didn't realise how happy we were, my best friend Suzy, the Wrens who I went for walks with and the church choir. I would love to share memories.

Evenlode School Pupil 1943 to 1949

I lived in Portland House, Evenlode from 1938 until 1957 and then in Portland Terrace until 1961. I remember Mrs Hoggetts at the shop. Football on the village green on a Sunday until the Fox opened at 12 o'clock. Mrs Dee was the school teacher and Mr Dee was a teacher at Burford. Mr Harry Cairns was landlord at the pub. Mrs Williams ran the post office. I played cricket and football for BDE United. We had electric in the village in 1948 and the mains water just before then. Before that we used oil lamps and the village pump. During the Second World War Mr Dippie was the air raid warden. GOOD OLD EVENLODE. John Peachey

Mr &MRS Dicks

I remember the Railway Inn, waiting for Mum & Dad with a bottle of coke and a bag of Smiths crisps outside.
