My Memory of Tong Castle by Babs Potts
My name is Irene Harriett Potts (nee Bryon), I was born 18-1-1921 at my granny's house in Bishops Wood (her name was Harriet Robinson). Our home was number 23 Offoxy Road, Tong, I lived there with my parents Louie and William Bryon, two sisters Eileen and Hilda and my brother William.
In 1924 after my father was killed in a road accident our family moved to number 22 Offoxy Road because it was a shilling a week cheaper (equivalent of 5p today) and because a larger family (the Smiths) were coming to work at Offoxy Farm, they needed three bedrooms and we only needed two.
The lavatory was outside, it was a 'double holer' (a plank of wood with two holes, one large and one small. Hilda and William were frightened to go on their own so I had to go with them, but when it was my turn I had to go alone - it was terrible, frightening going there in the dark, I used to... Read more
E M Goliah
My Grandmother Mrs E M Goliah had a general stores on Broadway I believe it was sold circa 1956 due to ill health, I believe it was an Elizabethan style property, and was next door to Cheadles, the 'clock' shop. The property no longer exists due to 'redevelopment'
I Miss Shifnal And Have Very Happy Fond Memories.
I have just gone onto this site. I remember the Goliahs. It was when I was a little girl, Mr Goliah used to regularly visit my dad and I think at one stage he dropped off a load of cattle manure with a horse and cart for our garden. I can also remember the milkman in the early 1950s delivering milk with the horse and cart. What a memory. My name is Jane, my maiden name was 'Humphries'. My brother still lives there at Custer Castle in Shaw Lane. Dad, better known as 'Jack', used to run the bakery in Aston Street with a cake shop in Bradford Street. We lived over the shop (and a toy shop in the corner). My father worked for Lloyds the Grocers which was in Park Street (can't remember what the place is now but the building is still there). There was an abattoir behind the grocery shop and one of my earliest memories was of dad wheeling our bacon pig down from our... Read more

Does Anyone Remember Alice Amy Robinson
Does anyone remember Alice Amy Robinson or any of the Robinsons, who lived at 33 Broadway Shifnal during the war? I would love any memories of them. Thankyou, Barbara Madeline de Havilland (formerly known as Margaret Robinson)
My Family in Shifnal
My grandparents moved to Shifnal in 1930. They moved from Trescot when my mother was two, they were Doris and Charlie Johnson and my mother was Sylvia. My Uncle Noel still lives in Shifnal so I still retain my links but would love to be in touch more and share memories as my mother died recently and I feel that I want to hold on to Shifnal as I have so many happy memories of it.
More Memories
I would love to hear from anyone who has memories of my mother Sylvia who left Shifnal when she married John Simons in 1958. She lived in London from that date but frequently returned with me to visit. My mother's best freind was Hilda Easthope and I have fond memories of her as she married my father's best man and moved to London. Ii would love to share memories with anyone who holds Shifnal dear to their heart.
