The Tiger
My dad once made me what us Royston lads would call a Cadjie! It was a go-cart made from bits of waste wood and two sets of wheels from off an old pram or pushchair. One would control it by its front wheels which were attached to an articulated axle, it was also steered by the feet. Dad had taken five hours to make it up and was quite sturdy to say the least. Most Cadjies were made from big pram wheels but the one which I had had small wheels about five inch. Anyway I was to pull up my Go-cart some 150 yards up a steep hill which was called Lundhill where I sat down and had the ride of my life, it was at least 45 degrees steep with a causeway of which I came down at breakneck speed only I hit a piece of coke with the front wheel which had dropped from off a coke lorry.

APPLEYARD or BROADHURST
Please does anyone remember a shop owned by my grandparents in this area, under the name of either BROADHURST or APPLEYARD? I would be very grateful if anyone could recall the names. Winefred Broadhurst was my grandmother born in 1900. Thankyou very much. debasket42@aol.com
Children's Home
I'm looking for photos or info about a children's home in the Royston area, I believe it was called East Riding Children's Home. My dad was placed there as his father Harold Jones who lived on Midland Road couldn't look after him. Any info about both is greatly appreciated, if you know anything please get in touch. marshall.hayes@sky.com
My Great Childhood Days in Royston
I lived at number 2 Church Street, Royston, in a rented house owned by the Co-op. I went to Midland Road Primary and Junior School. As a small child I was taught to play the violin by Tom Wright. My father was the manager of trhe Co-op hardware store on Midland Road. My entire family on my mother's side lived in Royston. Their surname was Ward. My best friend was David Musgrave whose parents ran the butchers shop in Church Street. After 1953 my family moved to Blackpool.
Royston
It seems like forever ago that I lived in Royston. I remember it with fondness, Notton woods, the long summer days lasting forever, riding our motorcycles down the lines. I will cherish living there all my life.
Blacksmith's Shop, Daddy Thornton And Church School, Farmer Archie Hill
I was born in Staincross, a stone's throw from Royston but in 1950 they seemed much further apart.
