Worcestershire memories
I went to live in Nash in 1955 as a foster child. I attended Nash School from 1955 - 1958 when Mrs Jones was the headmistress. The school sadly closed in 1958 and we were moved to Burford School near Tenbury Wells.
Life at Nash School was idyllic and we used to run through the lanes to school every day.... [more]

The LOWE family in Market Street
My great grandfather, Andrew Corden LOWE moved to Tenbury Wells about 1904 with his wife Florence "Flo" and their two little children: Douglas age 4 and my grandmother Cordelia "Queenie", age 1. He was an Ironmonger and they lived on Market Street until the early 1930's. They had 3 more children: Cyril "Cil", Winifred, and Eric. His wife died in 1910.... [more]

My mother and her sisters were married at St Michael's church at Lower Rochford. They lived at Peter's Cottage. Gran and Grandad Kennett used to be the caretakers of the church and are buried in the church yard. It is the quaintest little church I have ever seen and it is so well looked after by the local people.
We... [more]

My grandmother Alice Weaver lived in an old tumbldown cottage at Creeks Mill. She was a widow, and married my grandad George Wylde around 1900. My dad was born in 1903. They moved to Top House on the Highwood. The Creeks Mill house was left to ruin. As a child, I went with my mum and aunty to pick the primroses,... [more]

I have a picture of a double fronted butchers shop in the corn market. Over the door it says L.Pugh, outside is the butcher and his wife and probably their daughter Marie. A family story was that a lad from the family when asked who he was replied "Jack Pugh, Leominster, kill sheep" I assume there was an abbatoir behind the... [more]

I moved to a small new house in Saxon Close in Clifton in 1962 - and have regretted moving away (for work) in 1974 ever since! To me, with Clifton set in the heart of some of the most beautiful countryside in Britain, it then, and for that matter still, epitomises all that is truly English that seems to be long... [more]

The Milk Bar, Tenbury Road, Clows Top
The Oxleys.
Deep in the Worcestershire countryside…at the foot of Clows Top hill,
Lies the house called the Oxleys…a once sweet antidote to life’s bitter pill.
The family home of the Keegan’s…where visitors ambled from afar,
Holidaymaker’s or day-trippers en-route …on coaches…motorcycle or in a car.
Long gone is the catering van…selling breakfasts and cream teas,
Well-manicured lawns…and the... [more]

Kidderminster Town and City Memories
This view of the main road (known here simply as 'The Ringway') shows St George's Park just to the left of the dual carriageway. The park was originally twice the size it now is, for much of it was lost when the road was cut through here. This section and St Mary's Ringway formed the first stage of the building operation, and were... [more]

Kidderminster Town and City Memories
Now known as the Great Chamber, this room has since had panelling added to the walls, bringing it more into line with how it probably looked in around 1600.

The two stairs here are raised to reveal the entrance to one of the hiding places, a small room that was hidden beneath two floor levels.
