Greenfields

The house on the right hand side of the picture, Greenfields, is my family home. When my father laid a new oak block floor in the hall, we put a 'time capsule' in the form of a box under the new floor.

RE: SAD!

I have family in Oswesty  and my uncle used to have a fruit and veg round. I used to go with him and my aunty sometimes when I was young. I used to love staying in Oswestry, it's my favourite place. I still have lots of relations there now.

Embarkation leave

Mrs Barrett, the Post Mistress at that time, gave me a 1947 farthing for luck when I joined the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers in June 1952. She said she had given one to village lads in WW2 and most of them came back, so look after it.

My Grandmother

The 1901 census shows my grandmother Emma Mainwaring, then aged 14, working as a domestic servant at Kenwicks Park. Thinking that Kenwicks Park was the name of a large country house I started to search for it only to find that Kenwicks Park refers to a locality. Can anyone suggest where I can find the exact house where my grandmother worked?[more]

Shropshire Photographic Memories

Chirbury was the home of Lord Herbert, an Elizabethan philosopher, diplomat and keen historian. He collected a large library of chained books (the books were chained to their shelves so that they could not be taken away) which he bequeathed to the villagers. The books are now kept in the main library in Shrewsbury.
