Cheshire memories
Breaking Down
I broke down in the tunnel in the early 1970s, my kids thought it was great pushing us out off the tunnel wall, they were realy black at the end. I made sure it didn't happen going back!
Lewis Carroll
I was married here in 1964 having lived in Moore all my life up to then. My mum and dad are both buried here as is my granny. At the very end of the church the stained glass windows show characters from Alice in Wonderland. Lewis Carroll's father was the vicar here
My Mother's Home Village
My mum lived in Preston-on-the-Hill in a farmhouse belonging to her parents Albert and Frances Egerton, she was the youngest child with 2 sisters, Margery and Joyce and a brother, Ken.
Childhood Memories
My granny used to live in Hole House, Lane Little Leigh, her name was Ellen Frances Hough, and I remember she used to live next door to Mr and Mrs Astbury. My dad used to take me there on a Friday night and pick me up on a Sunday, had to go to Little Leigh church on a Sunday morning which I quite enjoyed, then we would be picked up by my Auntie Kathleen who lives (and still does) at Bridge Farm, Acton Bridge, we would stay there for the afternoon, then attend church in the evening yet again, where she was in the choir. My granny died in 1974, but I still have very special memories of those days. I have lived in Bournemouth since 1973, and I do still go to visit my dad who still lives in Wincham, and I always have this feeling of 'coming home'.
Higher Walton Park
I went to the park as a little girl as I lived at the public house the Walton Arms where I was born. I watched the dual carriageway being built, behind the pub. My grandfather worked at the Walton Hall with the horses and carriages, and another relation was a maid in the hall, I have got photos somewhere.
The Car in This Picture Belonged to The Photographer
I and my brothers grew up in the paper shop on the left of this picture and a car parked outside was a rarity. My memory tells me this one belonged to the photographer who took the picture.
Mrs. Butterfield
First thing that came into my head when I saw this - Mrs. Butterfield - the Headmistress. I went to this school from 1951 to 1956. Mrs. Butterfield put me in for the 11 plus exam a year early and I passed and moved on to Helsby Grammar School. Moore school was just one big room divided into infants and juniors by a partition. There was a big black stove to heat the place and we used to put our free bottles of milk on it in the winter to thaw it out. The toilets were outside and were just big buckets which had to be emptied. A big lorry would turn up to empty them and, always it seemed, at play time. So there we were playing while the men weaved in and out carrying the full toilets. Where was health and safety then ??? It is no longer a school of course, don't know what it is now, I must ask my brother who still lives there.
