Beautiful Oldcotes
I was born in Oldcotes and we emigrated to Australia in 1959. I remember people when I was young, there was Ms Bridgehams who used to be my teacher in Oldcoates School who I will always remember her with fond memories and then there was Mrs Brown who used to live in Main Street, I used to visit her as a little girl, and Father Athill. As I live in London now I visit Oldcotes and pay my respects. It brings back a lot of memories for me as my father's family (most of them) have now sadly passed away. I would like to know where Ms Bridgehams' and Mrs Brown's graves are so I could visit them. If anyone knows could you kindly let me know. Many thanks Susan
Nottinghamshire memories
Donny Road
I used to live opposite these shops and I can honestly say the place is just the same today as when this photo was taken.
School Road
I used to live at 5 School Road nearly 20 years ago. My mum used to work at Dianes florists on Donny Road and my Dad managed the Corner Pocket snooker club. I still visit there now as my stepmum lives on Donny Road and my Dad, I'm very sad to say, is buried at Langold cemetery.
Langold has so many memories for me from when I was little and I will always cherish them forever. I would love to visit my old house on School Road.
Good Old Days
langold was a great place to be brought up in the 70s and 80s for a young lad got some great memories dont live there anymore but will remember it with a smile.
Evacuee
I was sent by my mother as an evacuee to stay with her sister Lilian to get away from the bombs dropping over Wimbledon during the war. My Uncle Wilf and Aunt Lill lived above the Tylers Shoe Shop in Langold. Uncle Wilf (Scotney) was the manager of this shop and also of the one in Doncaster. I started school in Langold in the infants 1942/43 just before I was five years old. Uncle Wilf sang in the church choir along with my cousin Tony. I had so much fun and loved Langold, especially the British Legion Hall and the Cinema where we kids would go on a Saturday morning. I have many happy memories of the Hepworth family and Robin Brummie and the farm where we played. There was so much freedom, very different for a "townie" like me. I loved being in the shop with Aunt Lil and used to try on all the shoes. I often returned to... Read more
Nellie Pollard
My Nan, 'Nellie Pollard', lived in Guest Villas at the bottom of the hill from Langold, going towards Worksop. I had some great holidays in Langold, I'm sure it was a great place for kids to live during 1970s. If anyone remembers my nan, please drop me a line.
Oldcotes & Langold
The Priories Historical Society based in Oldcotes are looking for any old photos, maps, books, documents to facilitate our research into this important archaeological area. The Priories have talks every month at Oldcotes Village Hall (see website).
I live in Langold now and it is still very similar looking, the cinema has gone but the snooker hall is still there. Smokies pub is gone as is Langold Hotel. The Hilltop and Jays are still there. The Church is still on Church Street. And last but not least the important Langold Lake is still here giving sanctuary to many types of wildlife.
