Memories of Cheshire
Blackden Hall
My great great grandfather, Simon Myall, had a farm called Blackden Hall according to the 1851 census. The house is still there but no longer a farm.

Sculshaw Lodge, Allostock Hall
I'm trying to find out about Sculshaw Lodge, now Allostock Hall, where my great-grandfather worked in 1881. Does anyone have any information or photos? lesleydriveruk@yahoo.co.uk
Lower Peover School
I was a pupil at Lower Peover primary school from 1980 to 1986 and have many great memories. Mrs Wraith taught the reception class and we all had pictures so we knew which our pegs and draws were and mine was always a cow. Mrs Wraith also took us all to her house to cook bread. Further up the class I remember the first computer I had ever seen. We had to book a slot to use it and there was a great scrum of children around wanting to watch us use it. I am now involved in the 300 year celebrations of the school in 2010 and we are collating many memories to make a book up about the history of the school, plus memories and old photos. Please get in touch if you would like to add to this. peovereye@btinternet.com

I remember going to see them in the 1950s with my mum. The house seemed huge to me and I have very vivid memories of their garden and playing in the huge Yew Tree. The sisters were born at Moss Bank Farm in Toft and George Bell, who I suppose named the Bells of Peover pub, was my great-great-uncle. I am descended from his brother - James Bell.
Knutsford Moor
I was born in Knutsford in 1953 at no 3 Woodlands Drive. I always remember Knutsford Moor and the quaint little shops in Knutsford town centre itself, especially Hollands toffee shop, it was so tiny, I would love a photo of that. In the mornings we would go and buy a fishing net and take a jam jar with string attached to carry it with and go fishing in the river Lily where we would spend most of the day. We fed the ducks on the moor and collected bullrushes for Mum to put in a vase, also the reeds to make whips with, we had so much fun then, really lovely summers, I can't ever remember being bored. My father's family lived at the Elms on Mobberley Road for many years. I attended little Edgerton School and later went to Crosstown Infant School because Edgerton was going to be knocked down, and then they closed Crosstown Infant School because it was unsafe and knocked that down too, it...
