Notes From The Frith Files.
This photograph shows residents waiting for the No.144 Midland Red bus from Malvern to Worcester outside the village shops. Far left is EW Bird's butchers, left is Cromptons newsagents, off picture further left is Procters general store. There were three shops in this row, all now closed. The pub sign behind the lady in the centre is for the Coventry Arms which was down the unmade short lane to the side of the butchers. This pub was one of three in the village and the first to close in the 1960s. The lane leading up the hill is Kings Lane. The tiny tree within the iron circular seat to the left of the cottage didn't last long as the road was widened.
Notes From The Frith Files.
This photograph shows the Red Lion pub set back from the junction of Malvern Road with Upton Road which is on the right. The traffic island was soon to disappear as this main road section became a one way system by the early 1960s. The pub still exists. Seasonal hop pickers would have used the pub as extensive hop yards existed behind the houses on the right. I lived in this part of Powick and was 5 years old in 1955.
Red Lion Inn Publican 1841
I am currently researching my family history and my gt gt gt gt grandfather is registered as the publican keeping this pub. his name was William Kerby and his wife`s name was Mary. The year was 1841. does anyone have any further information regarding this.
44 The Village
My wife and I moved to Powick in the 1980s. Dating back to the late 1500s the whole row of (now four) houses were used by Cromwell as a hospital during the Civil war. It had no central heating and during our stay there we added that, changed the old drafty windows, put in a damp course including new flooring in the kitchen and lounge, had the roof re-tiled replaced some of the rotten roof beams and timbers and the loft was insulated with a firewall put in place between No44 and No43.
Over its many years, the row had been two, three and finally four houses and sometime in the 1700s the end house No45 (Now the Red Lion) had a fire which also destroyed part of No44 thus the two fronts were changed to brick and the cellar was use to dump the rubble and was eventually filled in with its entrance (at the rear) bricked in and now visible only from the inside of the utility...

Childhood Years
Many hours were spent playing on the hills around this area. In the centre of the picture is a mound, we called it the Tump, it was the excavation from the cutting and it was made into a feature with three seats or benches for walkers to enjoy a rest and admire the views over Herefordshire.
The Lee Family
My grandmother Elsie Thomas married Harold Victor Lee in 1929. Sadly he died 3 months later. They were living at 2 Albion Villas, Lower Wyche. He was a Dept Manager at a Clothing Shop. His father was a grocer - William Edward Lee. Until recently we didnt know anything about this marriage. If anyone knows the Lee family, if they are still in the area or knows where Albion Villas is could they please get in touch many thanks
Information Wanted on Rose Cottage Malvern
I am looking to find information on Rose Cottage, my father in law's family lived here in and around the 1930s, not sure what date from or to. I am looking for old photographs of this house and any information relating to it. I would be extremely grateful, as it would help with information for family tree.
