You Never Stop Being A Moultoner?
It's good to see all the comments here about the village. Lo's of memories when people mention Reg Wilson's, Stanway's and people like Stuart Egerton etc. I was born at the cottage at the top of Church St ...21 Whitlow Lane to be exact although the front of our house faced down Church St. My Mum and Dad were Sam and Jessie Gibson and I had a sister Kath ...unfortunately all three are gone now. My pals in the village included Roy Buckley, Jimmy Buckley, Mike Crank, my great mate on the Rec at football, Brian Pritchard, Phil Bebbington, Keith Hodgkinson, John Steele who is now in Cyprus. Our neighbours were the Crimes and Yates and Mike Dale lived just down Church St.. Nan Curzon, Florrie Macker (Buckley), Flo Dickenson, Patty at the shop top of Regent St are other people I remember and how could we forget Martha Baker and her family in Laurence Ave....I have recently been looking at a DVD of the 1970 Festival, lots of faces on...

MOULTON
My father owned the grocer cum off licence at 1 Regent Street next to Hartleys Sewing Factory and my grandmother lived at 63 Regent Street. My best friends were Pauline Ikin who lived on Main Road and Judith Dixon who lived on Beehive Corner. Other names I remember were Bruce Crawford, Alan Noden, Mary Clarke (whose mother ran the chip shop at the top of Regent Street) and Stuart Egerton. Judith suffered a terrible motorcycle accident and was in a coma for a long time but I believe she eventually recovered. I remember the Village Band, garden parties at the Vicarage, the village fete and parade, riotous football matches on the playing field behind Reg's Newsagent and playing skipping, cricket etc on the washing line area at the back of Regent Street. One of the 'characters' I remember was an older lady on Main Road who changed her hair colour on an almost weekly basis - sometimes pink or blue or even purple! Mr Hale was a... Read more
David Crank, Weaverham
I remember David very well, we met at five years old at Middlehurst Avenue Infant School then went to the junior school on Northwich Road and on to the Secondary Modern, we were always in the same class. David's mother and mine worked together many years ago and his dad, I think, worked at Kellogs. We bumped in to each other in the Travellers Rest pub in Moulton a few years ago. I lived there for thirty years with my wife and family, then moved to Hartford before moving to Spain four years ago. We still go back to see my mother, she is 90 on the 7th of May, so we're having a party. I have got many memories of Weaverham and can remember the pupils and teachers. I am glad I found this site.

Freda's Shop
My wife at the time, Beryl White, and I rember this shop so very well, also the old Post Office at the bottom corner. We used to live at 16 Wilson Drive. Life was a struggle at that time. Then we moved out to Sydney, Australia where life took on a new and successful direction. It was like moving into a new dimension. We eventually divorced, but still remain good friends. Life now is one of happiness and adventure. Would we return? No, we both have too much to lose over here, but Moulton still holds fond memories.
Growing up in Moulton
I was born at my nan and grandad's house 11 Wilson Drive, and lived in Lawrence Avenue then Weaver Road and eventually 1 Barlow Road, where my parents have lived for 50 years. My memories are playing marbles on the corner of Barlow Road, and skipping, we were out all day, then Miss Leak would come round and sing a hymn on the corner, she frightened us sometimes because she was always dressed in black. The paper shop was another fond memory because Reggie used to make the best ice lollies, the Calypsos were great as well. Then when Freda's shop was open in Regent Street and you went in for boiled ham, she would always have a piece when she was weighing it, haha. I could go on and on. I live in Alberta in Canada but go back home to Moulton with my husband who comes from Weaverham for at least 3 months evey year. Maybe someone else will read this and remember the good times that were... Read more
Kipper Will Soon be Home From Work
I was born at No. 3 Church Street in 1950. There are so many good times to recall. Where to begin? It is difficult to place them in any sort of logical order. I just guessed the year of 1961 but it was around this time.
Perhaps I should just ramble on and someone else will be able to fill in the gaps and errors.
Do you remember the Church and the Reverend Hale. He was a lovely man with the patience of a saint. He ran the church choir, cubs, scouts and festival.
Do you remember Reggie Wilson's Shop, Florie Buckley's Shop, Browns Post Office, Stan Lawton's Barbers, The chippy next door?, The Sunday League Football Team?
Fishing on the River Weaver and Shaft Pit?
But most of all playing football on the 'Rec' all day during the holidays. Probably 20 a side with kids from 5 to 15 years. We played all day everyday dawn till dusk.
Oh yes 'Kipper'. The game... Read more
Cheshire memories
Meadowbank Primary School
I attended Meadowbank with my two brothers from 1968-71 and can remember there only being about eighty pupils and four classrooms and a hall used for just about everything else including assembly and canteen. The toilets were situated to the rear of a small playground in what was a stable. I can remember sirens being sounded to warn of salt being blasted from local mine. I can also remember swimming and fishing in the River Weaver close to the school.
