Nostalgic memories of Penton's local history

Share your own memories of Penton and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

The Rennie family lived at Hillbrae Farm, Penton. Our neigbours then were Lotty Mitchel of Roan Farm, the Harringtons of Beyond the Moss, the Rodan family, the Beattie family, the Alston family, the Davidsons of Haglin Cottage, Peggy and Guy Johnstone's family and the Jackson family. Jack Reay was headmaster at Waricksland School, Dick Lyons was the vicar at Nicholforest Church and many more. O' happy days..
