uncle and aunt
Uncle worked as a cabinet maker for Thoresby Estate. He and aunty lived in a tied-cottage in the village which Lady Manvers visited occasionally. I met her twice in my lifetime. Aunty baked lovely cakes and made chair covers and clothes all on a small hand sewing machine. There was an Aga in the kitchen making it so cosy and warm, with always something baking or cooking. They were very happy times but sadly came to an end with first uncle's passing, shortly followed by aunty.

Worksop Baths
Saturday mornings we would trip off to Worksop on Booth @ Fisher bus from Kiveton Park with a suitcase. Call at Davis shop on Bridge St just through the lights at Newcastle Ave. Pack eight loaves of bread in the case trip off to Ryton St to a little shop where we could leave our case, then off to Worksop open air baths. It was a little chilly at times but great fun. After about two hours collect our case and off home. Those were the days.

swimming
I remember swimming in Worksop Lido almost everyday during the summer - or so it seemed. We swam in the early morning before school, we swam '5 'til 6' after school (cost 4d) and sometimes on a Saturday morning for two hours for even less. It must have been cold but we didn't notice. The only time that we did notice was when we went from school on Monday mornings at about 9.30 - then it was very cold.

Priory Church
This view has hardly changed, I have recently took a photo from about the same place and it is almost the same. The wall running in front of the church as gone now but the park on the left and the school wall on the right is still intact. There are more road signs on the corner. I remember going round this corner on my bike when I was about ten and being stopped by a policeman and told off for not signalling. I remember shaking with fear because a policeman told me off. Oh how things have changed.

Extracts From Clumber Park & Nottinghamshire books
Clumber Park, like Rufford, is heavily wooded; it was enclosed out of Sherwood Forest, that great forest that extends from
Worksop southwards almost to Nottingham. The soil is thin, sandy and infertile, but it suits slow-growing oak trees, birch and
bracken. Of the Clumber estate’s 3,800 acres over a thousand are woodland, while the great lake itself occupies 87 acres.

The Church 1890
In this picture the ancient village church
looks brand new; it was. The Reverend
Edward Hadley had All Saints completely
rebuilt between 1886 and 1888, and paid
for it himself.

King Street is the location of the former market place,
which was built over many years ago. Also along here is
the timber-framed Saracen’s Head. In 1646 it was known
as the King’s Arms; it was here that Charles I spent his
last hours of freedom before surrendering to the Scots.
An extract from from"Newark Photographic Memories".
The builder of Syerston Hall, William Fillingham, has a con-
nection with Balderton in that his ancestors were farmers
there. Though William was himself a farmer, he was also a
land surveyor, property developer and investor in canals. He
obtained Syerston in 1792 when he bought 500 acres from
Lewis Fytche for £12,375. William died before Syerston Hall
was finished; it was completed by his son, George.
