Worcestershire memories
Kempsey The Village
I lived
in the 2nd cottage Cobblers cottage. around 1947-1957.Mrs Bremner my mother. I remember how Church street always got flooded from the ford.
The Cadena Cafe
This shot of the High Street presents the signage for the Cadena Cafe, a chain of national cafes (in the 'Lyon's' mould) where shoppers met for coffee and light meals. I have fond memories of visiting the cafe with family and friends, and in particular the stairway down to the coffee lounge, below street level. The coffee lounge was, as I recall, adorned with plants and greenery in subdued lighting and a 'cozy' atmosphere. Worcester's beloved Cadena has now closed, and is now the premises of the Alliance and Leicester.
Edith Gummery
My Grandmother, Edith Joyce Gummery, who was born in Tibberton near Worcestor was a volunteer nurse during WWI and I have an entire autograph album of hers where wounded soldiers who were housed at Battenhall Lodge signed her book.
Living in Worcester
From June 1965 -May 1969 I lived with my family over the Stead & Simpsons shoe shop where my husband was the manager. This is the shop centre right of the picture with the 2 white blinds out. The large 3 bedroomed flat was on the top 2 floors and my youngest son was born Nov 1967 in the top floor bedroom. The shops on street level on this picture have changed, but the upper floors of all the buildings remain unchanged and the High Street is now pedestrianised.
Swimming Across The Severn
I remember swimming the width of the Severn and back again as a sea cadet at the age of 9 or 10, from the boathouse steps.
143
Well it was Malvern Road where I grew up and lived until I was 14.
Our family dwelled in no. 143- the vicarage for St. Johns church, half a mile away.
Malvern Road really is a 50s treat and helps form a marvellous, leafy suburb that is St. Johns.
