Shared Memories of Ely

Ely, Fore Hill c1955 (ref: E34007)
Year: 1953 Baron of Beef
My Dad did his National Service at RAF Ely Hospital in 1953/4. We held a reunion at the weekend (27th Sept 08) in the Lamb Hotel which was attended by about 27 people. The Baron of Beef, the Rifleman's (on Lyn Road), the Cutter and the Minster were their favoured pubs. I would love to obtain photos from the 1950s especially of the Baron of Beef, which was at 13 Fore Hill. I understand its license was surrendered in 1958 when it closed. The property was demolished and rebuilt. It is now a children's clothes/toy shop. If there are any photos of this period out there we would love to see them. Many thanks. Regards, Carol Greig

Ely, River Ouse and the Cutter Inn c1955 (ref: E34016)
Year: 2006 Happiest Times
This place holds special and fond memories for me as I would often travel the 150 miles to meet my very best friend here over the years, to eat and walk along the river. My health is not as it was these days and I have not managed to visit for some time. It amazes me how little the place really has changed over the years. It will always hold a special place in my heart.

Ely, River Ouse and the Cutter Inn c1955 (ref: E34016)
Year: 1880s The Cutter Inn
I am not entirely sure of the year, but I am told that one of my great grandfather's brothers owned this Inn at one time. I would love to hear from anyone that can shed more light on this.
