Oakmere House
I am trying to find out any info on Oakmere house. Was it a Convelecent/hospice in the 1950's? I may have had a relative that stayed there in the past and would be grateful for any info. Posted: 23/04/2008 11:29 by Tracey Winters |

Potters Bar, Oakmere House and Lake 1966 (ref: P131015) |
Year: 1930s
Oakmere
I have found a painting of Oakmere House, Potters Bar dated 1935. I believe the house is now a Beefburger Resaurant. There is a clearer view of the house from across the lake, there is the large pine tree & smaller trees on the right of photp, the trees & bushes on the left have not yet grown. It is an interesting painting relating to a modern photo. I can be contacted on 07752033574 if you are interested. Last edited: 04/09/2006 06:12 by David Walker |

PALMER WOOLLEY MARRIAGE 1850 A memory of South Mimms, Hertfordshire My great great grandparents on my mum's side married in the Parish Church at South Mimms on March 17th 1850. Curate appears to have been William Read ??. Thomas and Sarah were both of full age and resided at Potters Bar. Thomas was a bricklayer and son of Thomas Palmer a carpenter. Sarah was daughter of George Woolley who was a brickmaker. Witnesses were William Sears and Duisilla Herbert. Marriage registered in Barnet. Julie Posted: 13/02/2008 06:56 by Julie Watters |

Remembering Shenley A memory of Huntworth, Somerset I was born in Newcombe Road, no 52, in 1962. I remember the village shop opposite the White Horse pub, the garden centre and the village pond near the King Will pub. I used to stay a lot at my uncle and auntie's flat in Borehamwood in Leaming Road, their names were Ray and Maureen Atkins. My mum and dad were Betty and John Atkins. I also used to visit Hansens little cafe in the town. I now live in St Neots, Cambs. I always enjoy meeting people from Shenley, met a couple who live in St Neots, always chat about the place.

St Mary's School and church hall A memory of Huntworth, Somerset I was born and grew up in East Barnet and went to St, Mary's C of E Junior and Mixed Infants School in Churchill Road. It was a small school with only four classes and the boys left at seven and mostly went to Littlegrove. The headmistress was Miss Banham, who we all feared, though she must have been a very good teacher as she had the top two years in one classroom, and managed to get 18 out of 21 pupils through the scholarship (later 11-plus). There was no dining-room so those who had school dinners had to walk along Churchill Road to the Church Hall. The dinners were pretty ghastly, with gristly meat, lumpy mashed potatoes and lumpy custard. The back of the school backed on to the playground which made a good big wall for ball games. We did a lot of skipping and hop-scotch.In the late 40s, the BBC Schools programme began something called Music and Movement, and we went along to the Methodist Church Hall at the other end of the village to dance about in our bare feet, pretending to be trees blowing the wind, or tigers stalking in the jungle. We used the Methodist Hall because it had a lovely smooth parquet floor, whereas St. Mary's Hall was floorboards. My mother still wasn't terribly happy about me running around with bare feet. In my last year at St. Mary's, we started swimming lessons, for which we had to traipse up to the top of Churchll Road to Church Farm, where there was an open-air unheated pool, which at 9.30 a.m. was absolutely freezing, Needless to say, I never learned to swim there, only being interested in keeping warm and getting out as quicly as possible.
