Hemingford Grey, the River c1960 (ref: H408002)
My Parents Lived there
My sister and her husband Mr. & Mrs. E. Parkinson built a bungalow and shop on the corner of the main street and Pound Road.  They kept it for many years and during that period my Mother and Father moved there and lived in Pound Road for a number of years before returning to Wales.  My wife and I visited a number of times and we sometimes went out on the river in the punts that were moored at the Boat House. There was a small restaraunt in the Boat House.  A very nice village on the side of the Ely river. We often walked to the adjacent village of Hemmingford Abbots, Houghton Mill and into Ely town. The Church is right adjacent to the river and during the times we visited there the Vicar had a steam propelled launch tied up alongside the Church. All so great to remember.

  Year: 1930s Evacuation to Abbots Ripton 1939
My father, Gerald Blockley, originally from Derby, had just completed a degree in History from Unversity College, London and was appointed to teach at Bruce Grove School in Tottenham in 1939. He was evacuated with a lot of the children to Abbots Ripton in the autumn of 1939. He managed to find lodgings for all the children but none for himself, so the owner of the Manor House took pity on him and took him in to stay with him. It was a particularly bad winter with a lot of snow and they all used to meet up at the village pub. He had very happy memories of his time there. He volunteered to join the army from there.

  David and Julie Smith lived in Abbots Ripton 1987-1999.
when a chap broke into Bernie the Butlers house, he stole a bycicle from Bernies and rode a short distance, then dumped the bike, when the Posse was after him. 4x4s were flying around the village getting people to check there sheds and outbuildings. The farm labourers were tracking him using
walky talkys enabling the posse to catch him hidding in a storm drain very wet and cold and very frightend.
Hopefully this ended his career as a burgler

Year: 1955 The Rendevous Cafe
The year this picture was taken I lived in a flat above the Rendevous Cafe in the building directly behind the statue.  Owned by Pat and John Harvey, this was home to a newly arrived American family, and this town has lived in the hearts of my sister and me ever since. I love to return whenever I can and am happy to feel right at home again each time!
