 Truro, Lemon Street 2004 (ref: T86706) |
Unchanged A memory of Truro, Cornwall It's good that Lemon Street has remained unchanged from looking at older pictures. Although now all the houses are offices. Posted: 24/01/2007 13:52 by A J |

 Tregony, Town Clock c1955 (ref: T208308) |
Tregony Clock Tower A memory of Tregony, Cornwall The clock tower has two dates on it - one from the original building, and one from when it was restored. Apparently the village council sold the clock to a visiting Australian who wanted to take it back to his country. The villagers were outraged, dismantled the clock overnight, and hid it in a local field for twenty years until they were sure it was safe. Ealing comedy via Cornwall! I lived in the house in the photo, so the clock is very dear to my heart. Posted: 11/03/2007 22:35 by Amanda Pickering |

 Veryan, the Round Houses c1955 (ref: V3046) |
Year: 1890s
My Fathers Birthplace. A memory of Veryan, Cornwall My father Cornelius Henry Johns (Naily to everyone who knew him) was born in the little Round House on the left of the photo. He was the youngest of a large family, and there were 11 people living there in 1899. They then moved to Caragloose Farm, where his father and older brothers worked for Colliver Blamey. Colliver lived at Pennare Wallace. As soon as he was old enough my father started work on the farms with his father and two older brothers, Arch and Tom Johns. Jim, the eldest of the boys, by this time had married and was living at Camels. At the outbreak of the Great War, Arch, Tom, Naily and cousin Jack Johns all signed on for the duration of the war. Luckily all four came home, the three brothers back to work on the farms and Jack went back to his work. Lots of others were not so lucky. The women and old men kept the farms going during the war with two old horses that had seen better days!! My grandad died in 1918, just as the boys came back from the war. Father worked on at the farms until Colliver Blamey died and then took on the tennancy of Caragloose Farm, Pennare Being let out separately. Dad married Kathleen Elizabeth Couch, and lived on the farm where my three sisters Beryl, Ethel, Sylvia and my brother Henry were born. Ten years later I was born there also, living there until I got married in 1960 to a young lady from Kent, we met when she came to our farm camping with a group of disabled children. We moved into Pennare Wallace where our first son was born in 1961, and we lived there until my dad died in 1963. So a lot of good memories to look back on, some regrets far outweighed by the good. Don Johns. Last edited: 01/12/2008 10:57 by Donald Johns |

Year: 1945
Portscatho A memory of Portscatho, Cornwall I was in Portscatho with my mother on 15th August 1945 (V-J Day). I can remember the singing and dancing by the harbour wall. We were staying with frieds whom I have lost contact with. Last edited: 09/12/2008 13:22 by Harry Whitaker |
