Mom lived in Baynards...1930-40's
Mom went to the country to live during the war. She lived in a big field - the house and land were let by the Fulton Brick Works, I believe that was the name. I have about 5 pictures of her home with my Auntie Connie.

Simmonds Hanley Castle
I am researching the Simmonds family who lived in Quay Lane in Hanley Castle about 1900. My father recalls the floods of the early 1900s when Quay Lane flooded and he was trapped up stairs with his mother, Alice Simmonds.
Does any one out there have any information on the Simmonds family as I have a lot of there history to share.

44 The Village
My wife and I moved to Powick in the 1980s. Dating back to the late 1500s the whole row of (now four) houses were used by Cromwell as a hospital during the Civil war. It had no central heating and during our stay there we added that, changed the old drafty windows, put in a damp course including new flooring in the kitchen and lounge, had the roof re-tiled replaced some of the rotten roof beams and timbers and the loft was insulated with a firewall put in place between No44 and No43.
Over its many years, the row had been two, three and finally four houses and sometime in the 1700s the end house No45 (Now the Red Lion) ...read more here

An extract from from"Worcester - A History and Celebration".
Within the vestry of the abbey at the south-west end are stained glass windows dating from 1928. They commemorate St Peter
and St Paul and four historical characters linked with Malmesbury`s past: Maildulph, St Aldhelm, William of Malmesbury, and
the monk Eilmer, whose at flight in the 11th century is recorded by the historian William of Malmesbury.

The war memorial
is built on the site of
the old weighbridge,
and was dedicated in
a ceremony held in
1921. The van parked
by the Gothic-style
Methodist church
(left) belongs to
W Redman & Sons,
the butchers, whose
premises are next
door to G H Handy, a
tobacconist`s, which
was once Westport
Post Office. The sign
over the shop front
by the window is
advertising cigarettes.
The premises returned
to being a sub-post
office in 1996.

This fine photograph of
Malmesbury Abbey was taken
from the north, with the abbey
mill buildings below. Just
below the abbey we can see the
extensive orchard which has now
become the Cloister Gardens.
Flowing under the charming
bridge in the foreground is the
River Avon; this tributary is
called the Tetbury Avon (it is also
known as the Newnton River
or the River Ingleburne). The
Malmesbury Branch Railway line
is situated to the east of the river
- the GWR eventually opened
this line, which was linked to the
Dauntsey Railway, in December
1877. Dauntsey station was
opened c1868.
