Village Carnival Queen

Hello, I have many happy memories of Quarnford, born and bred there till my marrage in 1973. Born at New Lodge, Quarnford. Although we got a lot of low cloud and bad weather, I enjoyed my life living there, as a child I loved walking down to Three Shire's Head. Picking bilberries was another highlight. Also haymaking time.

On Tuesday afternoon we could go with the class at school to listen to the orchestra playing there for the sum of one penny. I think the conductor was Maurice Miles.

William Smith owned several Bath Chairs to convey invalids around Buxton.
