Vacation A memory of Heysham, Lancashire Cannot remember to much of this vacation as I was only 4 years old at the time. But as I was growing up Mum used to talk a lot about this holiday and only recently I was looking through some old snap shots and I came across one taken sitting on a wall with my Dad I presume it was the Promanade in Heysham. Mum always wrote on the back of the photo saying the place they were taken. Posted: 15/04/2008 04:47 by Brenda Vanderwert |

Heysham Towers A memory of Heysham, Lancashire Morecambe Bay Holiday Camp, aka Heysham Towers, in the early sixties as a teenager. The Towers were owned by the Holdens, I especially remember Derek and Jean. We were roused by the 'phantom buglar' and didn't have a minute to spare until 'Goodnight Campers'. We danced to Norman Robinson's band, and Jack Winston playing the organ. The activities were organised by Reg Kerr and Jimmy MacHugh. We had some good times in the 'Nip Inn'. Sometimes we would go into the village to drink Mrs Holmes' nettle beer or have delicious knickerbocker glories at the tea gardens opposite St Peter's Church. Such happy times, never forgotten. Sadly, the towers are gone, but the memory lingers on. Last edited: 03/03/2008 10:25 by Kathleen Wilson |

childhood 60s memeoreis A memory of Heysham, Lancashire I have fond memories of Heysham as a child, during the 1960s, drinking nettle beer with my brother and sisters. My auntie Hilda and uncle Billy lived in Ulverston, and my uncle worked at the ICI works, I think it was Half Moon Bay, we used to go and sit on the rocks while my uncle used to bring us our dinner which I presume he got from the works. I've not been back to Heysham since being a child. I'm now 57 years old and will be going back in the summer maybe its all changed now but nevertheless I'll go to see and relive some of my childhood. PS I remember once going aboard a destroyer to have a look round I got pictures somewhere so would like to add them soon. Last edited: 28/03/2007 17:14 by John Midgley |

 Lancaster, County Asylum 1891 (ref: 28606) |
Year: 1958
chapel A memory of Lancaster, Lancashire Each week, as a 15 - 16 year-old, I used to cycle from Morecambe on a Sunday morning for an organ lesson at the chapel of the Moor Hospital. It was uphill there and downhill home. My teacher was the organist there, also Director of Music at LRGS, and my lesson started after the Sunday morning service. As I progressed I was allowed to play the recesssional after the service. Every few years I come back to look at that magnificant building (the Annex) and think of all those thousands of people, staff and patients, who kept that sanctuary alive - a city within a city - which care within the community cannot now hope to replicate. I regret its demise and the safe haven it provided for so many people. Posted: 24/04/2008 22:34 by Ian Gerrard |
