Year of The Appendix.
During that summer my family made a trip to stay at Mount Edgcumbe for a fortnight or so, my mum being a distant relative of the occupying family, so to speak. On the journey down the A.38, (no M5 then), I kept complaining about stomach (?) pains and was ordered to bed by our hosts the moment we arrived. (I must have been about fourteen at the time.) During that night the pain worsened and the local GP, the kindly Dr. Lewis was summoned 'at the double' to my bedside. Having informed Mum that I had developed appendicitis, she immediately reacted by stating I would be brought to a Plymouth hospital in the morning. '' No you won't, you will take him there right now, his condition is ACUTE! ''
Not quite as simple as it sounds, as by this time it was 2.30 a.m. and it required a very tactful phone call to mobilise the staff at the Torpoint Ferry to make... Read more
New Book on Rame
I am currently compiling a book for Amberley Publishing called 'The Rame Peninsula Through Time'. The book will feature 90 old photos and 90 new photos. The new photos will all be in colour. I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to lend me and old personal photos they have of the area? Email copies would be fine. I think it will prove to be a very interesting and attractive book when it's completed. Thanks for any help anyone can give me, it's much appreciated. Best wishes, Derek Tait. derek.tait@virgin.net
Cornwall memories
Happy Times
It was about 1956 that my twin sister and I stayed at the Mountedgecomb Arms which our grandmother owned. We have very happy memories of walking over Mount Edgecombe and seeing films in Millbrook village hall. We went to tea with Mrs Strutt and her family, if I remember right there were two boys and one daughter. Sadly it was the last time that we saw our grandmother. Cremyll has a big place in our happy memories. It was great standing outside the hotel and watching all the Navy vessels and submarines go past. It is a lovely part of the country.
Millbrook
All ways visited when i was young 1962 upwards
The Square
1970's up wards, all ways remember the carnavals they had, allways good fun
LOOKING FOR MY ANCESTORS
In 2006 I visited Millbrook with my family with the aim of trying to research my ancestors who lived in West street between 1840 to 1870. alas, We unsuccessfully search the cemeteries an parish church, but I still had the feeling of belonging. Unfortunately we did not have much time in millbrook, and I hope to revisit in the not to distant future. In the meantime if there any Bryants still living there I would love to make contact.
