Wadebridge, the Swan Hotel c1965 (ref: W3043)
Samuel Treglown
A memory of Wadebridge, Cornwall

Samuel Treglown worked as landlord at the Swan Hotel during the 1950s.  He is an ancestor of mine I am currently researching.  His photo has appeared in Wadebridge Memories by Peter Tutthill, but with no date.  He also was a great sportsman and boxer.  Would love info or photos.  He has a son called John who has an interest in wrestling and rugby.

  Year: 1979 Porthily Beach
A memory of Rock, Cornwall

Myself and my 3 sisters Ginine, Chantelle and Michaela all used to go down to the Porthily Beach regularly with our mum and dad. We have wonderful memories there.  Our dad brought home a tractor inner tube from a tyre and pumped it up for us and we played for hours on it.  Porthily is very safe, it doesn't get too deep when the tide is in.  Nowadays myself and my sisters all go down to the beach with our children.  We are creating the same memories for our children to remember when they get older.  A very happy childhood.

St Minver, Village c1955 (ref: S35004)
Year: 1950 I Lived At St Miniver
A memory of St Minver, Cornwall

I was born in Pityme near St Minver in 1941. My mother was Annie Kinsman. We lived at Rose Cottage, Pityme. I went to St Mniver CP School. My gran was Mrs Bessie Worden, my grandad was the school caretaker. I think my relative dug graves at St Miniver churchyard.  I remember the Dingle garage near Rock, and the pond near the village centre, and the saw mills. I went to school with David and Philip Buse, Shirley Wills. I live with my partner Anne.  If any one wants contact they are most welcome, my address is johnkinsmanmarine@yahoo.co.uk. I now live in Scotland, and have worked as news reporter for the past 30 years.  
Thank you. Donald Kinsman.

This is another place I rememeber well when I was growing up. My auntie and uncle lived in the village of St Minver, they were called Mr and Mrs worden. My uncle was Ern Worden and he used to dig the the graves, and my Auntie was Pru Worden. They had one daughter called Marion May. She left home in the late 60s.

Padstow, the Quay 1910 (ref: 69710)
Year: 2007 Same Name
A memory of Padstow, Cornwall

My name is Louise Brown and I live in Australia. I went to England in 2007, had a wonderful time. I spent some time in Padstow because I lived in Padstow in Sydney Australia. I had heard so much about Padstow in England, especially Rick Stein's restaurants. Padstow is a beautiful place, it holds many great memories. I live on the south coast of Sydney now, right opposite the beach, just like Padstow in England. I would love to visit again in the future.
