52 Aisby
On my first day at Corringham School, my mother walked me, aged five, down the long lane from Aisby with our faithful old dog Floss and a playmate, Monica Bramford, a year or so older than me. During assembly I started to cry and my mother had to walk me to school for a while after that, leaving a most reluctant scholar at the East Lane corner. I later learned to ride a bike and attended school with Mike and Diane Guerin, an American family stationed at Sturgate and billeted at Netherdene farm cottage at Aisby. The head schoolmaster, Mr Frost, lived in the schoolhouse and I remember one incident when I got a clip round the ear from him for throwing my skipping rope down untidily in the cloakroom.

Memories
I was born in Upton in 1961 and was brought up and attendent at the infant school there as well as attending Sunday School and being in the church choir for quite a few years. The people I remember are Mrs Gibson the headmistress at Kexby School along with teachers Mrs Garner and Mrs Jones. Then the vicar Mr John Knight an ex military vicar but friendly and at that point soon to be the RE teacher at my secondary school in nearby Gainsborough. The other locals - Nev Barnes, the Mrs Longdon who had the chip shop in the village and the Mr and Mrs Broadbent who had the shop and post office. These were happy days and how I wish they could have continued for ever. Of course all these people have gone now but they will never be forgotten, well, not by me anyway.
Aany Information Please
I was born at Gate Burton Hall in 1941. The only information I have is that my mother was born in Louth and later lived in Hull. I think that she was evacuated there during the war. Does anyone have any information regarding the hall being used as a maternity hospital during the war?
Gate Burton Hall
I was also born at Gate Burton Hall. My mother was evacuated from Hull. I hope to get more information and visit Gate Burton in June next year.
Gate Burton Hall
I was born 27th February 1945, In Gate Burton Hall. My mum was evacuated from Hull with other expectant mothers. She often used to talk of the carpet of snowdrops she could see through the window. Every birthday she would get me a small bunch of snowdrops. One on these days I would like to venture to my birth place.
Gate Burton Hall
I was born at Gate Burton Hall in April 1941. My mother was evacuated from North London. Went back a few years ago and took some photos, but has now been turned into flats and was unable to go inside. My mother had memories of a grand chandelier that was covered in sacking in the main hall.
Information / Photographs
I am researching the village of Grayingham in Lincolnshire and would be interested to receive any information, pictures, of weddings, etc or of people of the village.
