Burraton Post Office
Hi Bob. I remember your mother behind the Post Office counter. Your cat used to regularly attack our dog as we passed your front gate on the way to Burraton Park. We both went to Saltash Grammar School in the late fifties. I lived with Mrs Richards at 382 New Road a matter of a couple of hundred yards away near what used to be called the Coronation Inn and later was renamed the Rodney. Roger's shop was further down New Road from us. I believe it is now a Spar Store. Last edited: 12/06/2007 14:39 by Raymond Guy |

Memories.
My mother ran Burraton Post Office from 1950 to about 1990 and sold Frith postcards. The cows are being driven by Mrs Cook, a farmer's wife, whose farm was about 300 yards behind the photographer in Liskeard Road, Burraton. The farm was called 'The Elms'. The farmhouse is still there, but is now an old peoples' home called The Elms. The farmland has been built on. Posted: 06/04/2006 16:20 by Mr Bob Drew |

Bluecap A memory of Callington, Cornwall I remember well the Saturday Night Dances at the Bluecap Hotel in the 50's & 60's, now pulled down. The Bull's Head was more up-market. I lived at St Dominick and remember the Cattle Market. I was going to Callington Grammer School when King George V1 and family came to open the Royal Cornwall Show at Callington we all had the day off to go to the Show. There was a Youth Club where we played table tennis etc. and learnt to dance. I have nothing but fond memories of Callington. Last edited: 18/03/2007 23:58 by Brian Furse |

 Landrake, Ye Olde Bullers Arms c1960 (ref: L296014) |
Year: 1960
Jack And Peggy Robinson A memory of Landrake, Cornwall I am a niece of former Landlords Jack and Peggy Robinson and remember with great affection the happy holidays I spent with them, helping out occasionally behind the bar and chatting with the locals. Everyone was so friendly and it was everybody's local to catch up with the latest news. We did visit again some 20 years ago and this lovely hostelry will always be in my thoughts.

 Landrake, Notter Bridge, the River and Sportsmans Arms c1960 (ref: L296317) |
Year: 1860s
William Steed - Pub Landlord 1860-1880; Sportsman's Arms A memory of Landrake, Cornwall I have traced my ancestor William Steed and wife Anne Steed as landlords of Sportsmans Arms Inn Notterbridge in 1860s for twenty years, living here with nine children and John Doidge, lodger, and servant Sophia Burnett aged eleven. William Steed was born in Menheniot 1824 and wife Anne 1827 also. When the family left the Inn they went to live in Newton Abbot, Torquay. William and Anne Steed are my Great, Great Grandparents. William at aged fifteen lived and worked as a servant in Fore Street, Saltash. Last edited: 15/01/2007 02:27 by Rosalind Steed |
