Crafthole, Donkey Lane, Portwrinkle c1935 (ref: C409013)
Donkey Halt.
A memory of Crafthole, Cornwall

The bungalow in the centre of the photograph is called Donkey Halt as when the carts of pilchards were taken up the hill by donkeys they stopped there for a rest before tackling the very steep hill to the main road at the top.

Millbrook, Entrance to Village c1950 (ref: M2265001)
Year: 1995 Millbrook
A memory of Millbrook, Cornwall

1995 and up, I haven't always lived in Millbrook. But I pretty much visited every summer since I was born, and I then moved down in 2004 (I think). Lots of good memories here, like: Mayday, dens, Maker festival, Millbrook School, rope swings, alpines. Can now be a bit boring for my age group, as the only thing to do is go to the park really, and I am now getting a bit old for that kind of thing. So we pretty much have to entertain ourselves, or catch the bus to Plymouth. Or in the summer holidays we walk to Cawsand most days and go jumping. But in the winter when it's raining there is absoloutly nothing to do. Still even though sometimes Millbrook is SO boring ... I love it really. xxx

Millbrook, West Street c1955 (ref: M226026)
LOOKING FOR MY ANCESTORS
A memory of Millbrook, Cornwall

In 2006 I visited Millbrook with my family with the aim of trying to research my ancestors who lived in West street between 1840 to 1870. alas, We unsuccessfully search the cemeteries an parish church, but I still had the feeling of belonging. Unfortunately we did not have much time in millbrook, and I hope to revisit in the not to distant future. In the meantime if there any Bryants still living there I would love to make contact.
