Shared Memories of Liskeard

Year: 1963
School Sports Days At Liskeard
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
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
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.
