Newchurch
I lived at on Staghills Road (my maiden name was Taylor) and I went to Newchurch C of E School until 1958. I remember Mrs Roberts and Mrs Barlow, the teachers in the top 2 classes. My favourite time at school was when we were allowed to go across to the field at playtime. Sadly the school was pulled down and replaced by a new one down Dark Lane.
Newchurch was a lovely village, then they went and pulled down the houses on one side of the street. I remember Rothwells Butchers, they made lovely potted meat (Ican still taste it!), Schofields had Home Farm, there was a chip shop, a grocers, a wool shop. The Post Office was further down the village, Joe Ainsworth ran it, I used to ride the pony that he owned. When they altered the village they took away a lot of its character. Though I now live in Nottinghamshire, Newchurch is still my home and I love to go back there and relive my memories
