Year: 1967
Twelve Woods Place
Yep, the year was 1967, I was always hanging around with John Webber, Timothy Rampling, and all the others that joined the gang. The summer was with us and we as kids obviously got bored, so decided to break into the infants school - remember Miss Nile anybody? She did not like me and I must say, she was not my favourite either. Anyway we broke in and ate all Miss Niles chocolate bars that she kept for the good kids. Hence I never got one. Me laughing on the way out, cos revenge was sweet, picked up the chalk and wrote Julie Crocker on the board, need I say any more, hahaha. Anybody who knows me, send me an e mail at torpointjulie@hotmai.co.uk Cheers and goodbye. Last edited: 01/04/2008 13:39 by Julie Crocker |

School Sports Days At Liskeard A memory of Liskeard, Cornwall I grew up in Moorswater and went to Liskeard Sec. I have many great memories of my days there. I was lucky enough to be very successful at sport but my first taste of athletics will stay long in my memory. It took place at the interschool sports at Brickfields, I was in the junior boys 70 yards hurdles. The gun went and at the first hurdle I tripped and fell. Picking myself up, amazingly I still managed to finish second, I will always remember our headmaster Mr Andrews' beaming smile at the finish. I went on to represent East Cornwall at Par and without falling became county champion. How different things might have been if I hadn't got up and completed that first race. So no matter how bad it seems, never give up! Last edited: 12/09/2008 09:21 by John Hewitt |

 Darite, Trethevy Quoit 1890 (ref: 24475) |
Year: 1951
Village Cricket A memory of Liskeard, Cornwall I lived in Plymouth at the time and our family spent two or three holidays in the village of Darite, the years would be around 1951-3. My father would organise a cricket game in the field where the Quoit stands, we would play three or four times a week and a lot of the local lads would join in. My mother would sit beneath on the base stones and do her knitting. Although it's over 50 years ago my sisters and I have many happy memories of this area.

 Liskeard, Market Street 1906 (ref: 56301) |
Boots The Chemist A memory of Liskeard, Cornwall I own part of the building which is the second one on the left of the photo. Many years ago there was another building on the end, on the corner of Market St and Well Lane. Our building is now the Fat Frog Cafe and lots of customers come in and tell us that our cafe used to be Boots. However, from some of the more recent photos we can see that the building which is now gone was Boots. We think that the Fat Frog (also previously The Heron Bar) used to be Home and Colonial. The Heron Bar was only part of the ground floor the other part being William Hills Bookmakers. We are very interested in finding out more of the history of this area and would welcome any comments from people who remember Market St as it was.

 St Cleer, Church interior 1906 (ref: 56317) |
Year: 2005
St Cleer Church A memory of St Cleer, Cornwall This scene has changed little, except for the addition of carpeted areas and pews that look far more comfortable and inviting! I feel sure that every person who has walked through the doors of this church has been touched by what they have seen and the wonderful people they have met here. Todays community has added many other fine features like their fabulous millenium tapestry and the tea bar!!! I have loved this village, indeed my daughter was born here, and I have loved this church and my wonderful church family. It is with a heavy heart that I will soon have to leave here but St Cleer church will always be my favourite place and my real home. Posted: 07/09/2008 00:12 by Michelle Coxeter |
