Also about the mischief the gang of kids got up to (all innocent). My mum's family are the Reays, my mum is... [more]

Seeing the photograph of the old Ritz cinema reminded me of the time when I was a member of the Ritz Minors Club from approx. 1947 until 1952. We all paid 6 old pence to have a morning at the "pictures" watching films like Flash Gordon, Tarzan and many others. As time went on and I reached , what I thought,... [more]

From the age of 48 hours until I was about 18yrs I lived and grew up in Hurley. I have done my fair share of moving around not only England but the world. From the busy, bright lights of London to spectacular, solitary mountains of New Zealand. Now all grown up at age 45, or as grown up as I'm probably... [more]

I vividly remember my days as a boarder at the convent school in Monks Kirby.

Are there any other ex-pupils who attended Monks Kirby school around the same time? I would love... [more]

Extracts From Nuneaton & Warwickshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Nuneaton, inspired by Frith photos.
Warwickshire Revisited Photographic Memories
Part of Church Street was destroyed in an air raid in 1941, but misguided development and unrestricted traffic growth have since done far more damage to the townscape than German bombs.

Warwickshire Revisited Photographic Memories
People lived and traded on Bond Gate until 1969. Now, together with Bond Street, it is a dispiriting introduction to Nuneaton for those of us who arrive by train. All these buildings have been swept away, and replaced by a dire hotchpotch of modern horrors overlooking endless traffic. The buses now leave from an ugly new station round the corner, with a footbridge providing pedestrian access from Bond Gate.
