Year: 1940s
Life in Branston A memory of Branston, Lincolnshire I was born in Branston in 1948. I grew up there until I was 16 when we moved to Lincoln. There was a waterwheel down one of the country lanes which was very unusual, in as much as that it was horizontal rather than vertical. I believe it is still there today. My family were quite extensive in the village and everyone knew everyone else. They were alway ready to help each other and were all very friendly. I could play in the streets with complete safety and without fear. We would have "Rummage Sales" in the Village Hall on a regular basis and the 1st May was always a treat with dancing round the Maypole and bands. School sports days were always held on a Saturday and were quite a big affair. We had a field that we named "The Hills and Hollows" that was great fun to play in. As its name suggests it was very hilly and we would roll down the hills (taking care to dodge the cow pats of course). Children's games were Stick and Hoop, Hopscotch, Marbles, Tig and the usual Cowboys and Indians and Cops and Robbers. The last 2 played round the streets. I have many memories of the village and enjoyed life there very much. Posted: 04/09/2008 12:15 by Alexandra Arnold |

Sleeping inside Lincoln Castle A memory of Lincoln, Lincolnshire My Grandfather, Harry Westwood, was custodian at the Castle for many years, retiring in 1966. He passed the position to his son Tom Westwood, my uncle. Tom retired in 1986. As a child I would sleep inside the castle gatehouse at weekends, but since Tom Westwood retired in 1986, I believe that the castle is now managed by Lincolnshire County Council without having a resident custodian living on ther premises.

 Navenby, High Street c1965 (ref: N132009) |
Boyhood in Navenby A memory of Navenby, Lincolnshire This is the village where I was born and grew up. The first shop on the right was my Dad's, a Butcher. This was next to Welbourn's the baker. The other side of Tenters Lane was another Bakers, Marshall's. The village school then was in Church Lane next to the church and the teachers were Miss True, Mr Wright, Miss Milner, and Mr Powley, the Head. I went to this school and so did my Dad. I believe Mr Powley taught him too. Posted: 28/06/2006 17:05 by Graham Dawson |
