Memories of Sandy Lane c1955, Romiley
The Savoy Cinema
My memories of the Savoy are of learning to ride a 2 wheeler bike in front on the wide pavement and of everybody dancing there when the war was over. Then of going to the cinema on Saturday mornings when Mr Scroggins used to keep all the children in order. They are happy memories.
I Have A Certificate
I live in the US. In a desk that we purchased years ago in an antique shop, we found a certificate that says:
The Royal Drawing Society's Exhibition, "The Children's Royal Academy" London, Highly Commended, Julie Woodhead (aged 13-14) Convent of the Nativity, Romiley, for Two Pictorial Compositions. 4 Entries, May 1965, R.R. Tomlinson, President.
If this is yours, please let me know and I will send it to you.

Romiley & local memories
Read and share memories of Romiley and Cheshire inspired by Frith photos.
That Bell.
We lived for a while at Number 14 Church Lane, right across from St Chads. Every Sunday morning the verger would ring that one bell-it seemed to go on for hours!!
Sculthorpes Dye Works
I worked there in the early 1970s. I lived on Overdale Road near the Spreadeagle pub. I got married in St Chad's.
Giant's Table
As a child I loved walking the River Goyt. On the way there was a huge sort of building we called the 'giant's table', I never knew the history of it. I lived at Tangshutt Cottages. It was situated on Compstall Road, at the entrance to Jibbys wood. I wonder if any photos of it are around, and if anyone knows the history to both.
I Took A Winning Photo
I really enjoyed visiting Romiley. When I was there I took a photo at the train station, which ended up coming 'highly commended' in the Landscape Photographer Of The Year Competition.
