Year: 1965
l remember it being dam cold
l came across the vindi site by accident,and was amazed to see the old ship again, l trained on her on the stewards side over the1965 xmas period and went on to travel the world on the m.v. huntsland, carrying cargo all around the world. seeing the photo brougt back so many memories of many years ago, does anyone else remember the jam butties at the seamans mission or swopping our cap badges with the crews on the russian boats in the docks.

Home Sweet Home A memory of Berkeley, Gloucestershire What a wonderful site. These photos bring back so many lovely memories. From this one I can see the house I grew up in (34 High St) and my Dad's cinema. This photo was taken the year that I was born. I can also see the hospital that I was born in. I miss Berkeley, it will always be home. I now live in Western Canada and there are no towns here anywhere near as perfect as this one. Hi to all who I know, if you still live there..I'm envious.

 Berkeley, the Old House c1955 (ref: B72009) |
Year: 1880s
The Cordwainers Shop A memory of Berkeley, Gloucestershire My Great Grandfather, Samuel King, ran a boot and shoe business (as a Cordwainer) from this address in the 19th century. His family home is listed in the 1881 census as The Old House, Market Place, Berkeley. His father John King (Dob 25.5.1765) was also a Cordwainer in Berkeley in the 18th century. The King family were residents of Berkeley for many years, John King of Ham (Dob 23.9. 1730) is shown in my personal family records hand-written by Samuel King in 1835 as head of the King family. Thomas King is listed as having a Butchers shop in Berkeley in the late 19th century. Posted: 11/12/2006 17:34 by First Name Last Name |
