Shropshire memories

The Lovekins And Crombs

My mother's family came from Sheriff Hales and Tong. I am looking for any information about the Lovekins who lived at Crackley Bank during the 19th and beginning of the 20th Century. Particularly John and Alice Lovekin.
Also the Crombs who lived in Tong Norton at the same time.
Many thanks

Does Anyone Remember my Grandmother, Mrs Lillian Florence May Adams or my Father Mr Meyrick Adams?

I am interested to find out if anyone can remember my grandmother Mrs Lillian Florence May Adams (nee Pearson) and my dear father Mr Meyrick Pearson Adams? My grandmother was born in Hereford and married and had my father and his younger brother Barry who lives at Colebatch in Shropshire. My grandfather's name I think was Alfred Adams, he worked with horses. One of my father's oldest friends was a retired blacksmith called Cliff, sadly he too has now passed away. I was born in Shifnal. My father sadly passed away in February 2008 and my mother Mary Adams passed away in October 2009, her name was Mary Adams. They are buried in the Sheriffhales church.

I have just gone onto this site. I remember the Goliahs. It was when I was a little girl, Mr Goliah used to regularly visit my dad and I think at one stage he dropped off a load of cattle manure with a horse and cart for our garden.   I can also remember the milkman in the early 1950s delivering milk with the horse and cart. What a memory. My name is Jane, my maiden name was 'Humphries'.  My brother still lives there at Custer Castle in Shaw Lane.  Dad, better known as 'Jack', used to run the bakery in Aston Street with a cake shop in Bradford Street.  We lived over the shop (and a toy shop in the corner).  My father worked for Lloyds the Grocers which was in Park Street (can't remember what the place is now but the building is still there).  There was an abattoir behind the grocery shop and one of my earliest memories was of dad wheeling our bacon pig down from our...

My grandparents moved to Shifnal in 1930. They moved from Trescot when my mother was two, they were Doris and Charlie Johnson and my mother was Sylvia. My Uncle Noel still lives in Shifnal so I still retain my links but would love to be in touch more and share memories as my mother died recently and I feel that I want to hold on to Shifnal as I have so many happy memories of it.
