My stay at Collaton Cross

I lived in Collaton Cross for a short while when my Husband was in the R.A.F. My surname then was TURTLE. My son Nicholas was born in the house in Collaton Cross. He was ill at birth and taken to Freedom Fields Hospital in Plymouth where he had a successful operation and is now a strapping six foot 3inches and very... [more]

Found memories of early days at Yealmpton

Now living in Australia and having revisited Yealmpton in recent times, the changes are amazing. Where there used to be fields in which I played with mates, sadly houses now stand. The old bridge, church, Mother Hubbard's Cottage and pubs are still much as I remember them, but the old charm seems to be missing. In 'my days' I could name just about... [more]

A very new Broadway

In 1962 my parents and I (12 years old) moved from Bristol to open Victoria Wine (later to become the Wine Market before reverting back to Victoria Wine). There were still several empty units awaiting occupation. I can recall most of the shops that were open, starting at the fire station end was James & Rosewell hardware, a ladies hairdresser,...

A  Naval  Hideaway.

What a great little place to be when in the RN. I was serving on the Boom Defence Boats in 1954/5. These boats were coal burning, and I was a stoker, so it was pretty hard work!  We spent most of our time in Pembroke Dock, but now and again we had to do some work in the Plymouth area, and...

My childhood memories

My relations moved to this area back in the late 1950s and finally settled in Ringmore village. We had long holidays there in their home starting back in the 1960s, but the years I remember the most were the 1970s, down at Challaborough beach with my sisters and cousins. I remember the cafes, the sounds of Glam Rock coming from the... [more]

Challaborough- late 1970s

I would be particularly interested in any photos depicting Delphine Cafe or Espresso Cafe on the beachfront whatever the year but particularly 1974-78 as I worked there for many years and have lost all photos.

The Jarretts of Ermington

My mother's maiden name was Jarrett, her father was Fred Jarrett who along with his brother Jim ran a small building company. I lived in Ermington from 1957-1974 and was related, or so it seemed, to almost everyone within a 5 mile radius. There was a Daniels, Peter, I think who ran the First and Last. It was where I had...

South Devon Coast Photographic Memories

Noss Mayo's church, seen in the middle distance, was built on the orders of Lord Revelstoke in 1882 in a beautiful setting above both the village and river. The original parish church is now a picturesque ruin some distance away on the clifftops of Stoke Point.

Around Plymouth Photographic Memories

The building of Mount Edgecumbe House was started by Piers Edgecumbe in 1539 and remodelled in the 17th and 18th centuries. It was badly damaged by German incendiaries in March 1941 and subsequently restored, but the highest tower in this picture was never rebuilt.
