Cambridgeshire memories
Growing up in Graveley.
I'm the youngest daughter of Lou and Vera Crook. Graveley, a great place to grow up. We knew everybody, and would lie in bed and count the people who lived there. I hope it will always maintain its British charm and the pub. Attending school with Mrs. Barton, such wonderful memories.
I Was Eight And Fishing And You Caught Me!
Surprisingly I remember a man setting up the tripod to take this, a short time before I had seen the same process under taken for the school photos. I wondered what he was photographing. I wasn't allowed to go over the Chinese Bridge as the water was deep over there. It's shallow by the causeway but very smelly as I found out when I fell off my bike and into it, Mum made me undress in the back yard of 4c New Street before going in for a bath. Mr Thomson, a lovely old chap, had the sweet shop behind me in the picture and his wife (name ?) had the shop next door called Townsends, were they married??
St Ann's Lane / Black Bull Pub
Hi, I'm trying to find some people: Doris May Fisher born 1910 and Harry William Fisher born 1913, both born at St Ann's Lane, Godmanchester. Their parents were Harry William Fisher and Gertrude Church. Harry William senior died in 1932. Apparently the last address for Harry junior was Cambridge Villas, also someone told me Harry junior was hit by a police car after leaving the Black Bull pub and killed, does this ring any bell? Any info please get in touch.
Living in Godmanchester
Growing up in Godmanchester was a good experience. We lived in St Anne's Lane and I went to school there as well, then went to school in Park Lane. Then in 1956 I went to the Secondary Modern, starting at Brookside and moving to St Peter's when it opened, we marched through Huntingdon to the new school when it opened. The summer holidays were spent playing cricket all day over the parks with Barney Christian and Stan Binge, there was more of us some days, but Stan enjoyed knocking me and Barney out of the grounds, if we got him out he wanted to go home ha ha. Over the Rec on Sundays in the summer it was like a holiday resort, with people coming from everywhere. But it was a nice place to grow up in and we used to know everyone walking round the streets. it would be nice to see more people writing there memories. Danny.
My Parents Lived There
My sister and her husband Mr. & Mrs. E. Parkinson built a bungalow and shop on the corner of the main street and Pound Road. They kept it for many years and during that period my Mother and Father moved there and lived in Pound Road for a number of years before returning to Wales. My wife and I visited a number of times and we sometimes went out on the river in the punts that were moored at the Boat House. There was a small restaraunt in the Boat House. A very nice village on the side of the Ely river. We often walked to the adjacent village of Hemmingford Abbots, Houghton Mill and into Ely town. The Church is right adjacent to the river and during the times we visited there the Vicar had a steam propelled launch tied up alongside the Church. All so great to remember.
Victoria Terrace
I found out that my great great grandparents (Elizabeth and Henry Ablett) and family lived at 11 Victoria Terrace, Hemingford Grey duriing the 1851 census. His occupation was a shoemaker. We visited there from Canada in May of this year and the house is still standing. It was so strange to think that my ancestors lived in this little house 260 years ago! I looked around the back of the row houses and saw that many of them had been extended, but their house looked original in size. There was also a Players cigarette sign on the wall, which gave me goosebumps as my father smoked Players Plain here in Canada. Took lots of photos.

My Childhood Home
My father was in the USAF and at the age of 7 I was living in Hemingford Abbotts and stayed there for 3 years. I enjoyed the three years there. We lived in a bungaloo and in back of the bungaloo was a trailer park. We went to the base school which was the pathfinder in Alconbury. I would love to see the village again as to the changes or things that have remained the same.
