Staffordshire memories
I also remember a foggy Beacon Park, probably 1954. I used to live in the Close, my father being a minor canon, and went to a nursery school (Mrs Allen's) on the other side of the park. I think that one of my parents would bring me to the park gates near the Close and then I would walk... [more]

Drifted past this page for a first time on a wet Saturday.
In the right hand side of this photo is the The Dolly Posh n Dandy coffee bar. Part clothing, part coke and coffee cafe - a well known hang out, smoking and meeting place for King Edwards and Friary pupils. Anybody else remember this short lived enterprise?... [more]

Ivison's florist's shop in the market square
My parents had a florist's shop in Market square from 1932 -1962, I can see our Morris van parked on the square, with the Interflora logo & our name clearly shown.

First of many visits to Lichfield which led to my affection with this city, that my fther had spent time in during his RAF days at Lichfield Drome in 1942. Many friends and contacts were made here.
A lovely place! There are many changes now in 2006.

When I was 5 yrs old I can vividly remeber getting lost in Beacon Park in a real pea souper with friends from the farm in the Sandford Street corner of the park and also remember digging old stone jars up from the brook that runs through the park!

My dad was evacuated to Alrewas and stayed with the Tranter family in Fox Lane. He would dearly love any information about the family. He knows they had a son called Ted.

Hiya, I live in Alrewas with my parents, Mr Bill Williams, and Irene, from 1965 till they both passed away and are at rest in Alrewas Church. They both had a great number of friends in the village from Amateur Dramatics to Bill being the lay-peacher. Many fond memories flood back. Our last house, of 3 in Alrewas was the Old... [more]

Stafford - A History & Celebration
Its surroundings are pleasant without being spectacular: 90% of Staffordshire is rural, and nowhere in the town, not even in the very centre, is one ever far from the countryside. One thing to be said for Stafford (as far as anywhere can make such a claim in these unsettled times) is that it is a town without a darker side. It is not big enough to contain 'inner city areas',... [more]
