Emma and John Hewerdine
I remember my grandma telling me that her mum, Frances Hewerdine, came from beautiful Scalford and she was a real lady, and somewhere along the line Frances's parents had a dress shop. Sadly I don't know where Emma and John were buried, or I would take flowers. Does anyone else have memories along these lines to share? I would love to share someone's memories of Scalford for about 1850 onwards. Last edited: 06/05/2008 09:18 by Vicky Ashton |

 Melton Mowbray, the Baptist Church interior c1955 (ref: M60040) |
Sunday school
I was put on the cradle roll at about 6 months and attended every sunday school anniversary from the age of 3 - 16 !!! Always had 2 new dresses fro the anniversary.. and a perm!! I had forgotten about Mr Chapman - thank you for the reminder! Mrs hall was the lady in charge of the infants sunday school Got married in this chapel in 1975... I had forgotten how bare the place was....but it brings back memories of how big the building was and how much it was used in the 50/60's - the room upstairs was massive, and the stage.. never quite felt safe on that but there were afew good (using the work loosley)plays were put on...

I'm still owed ten shillings!
I remember the inside of the Baptist Chapel as I attended regularly from the age of 5 until my early teens. A Reverand Exall and a one-armed man called Mr. Chapman were in charge. On Anniversaries they used to put staging up either side of the organ and I used to like to sit right at the very top. I was promised if I passed the scripture exam they would pay me 10 shillings. I did pass but never got the money! Posted: 25/02/2007 11:38 by Clive Dixon |

 Cottesmore, the Village c1955 (ref: C434006) |
Year: 1969
Cottesmore 1969
My name was Liz Shepherd and we were new arrivals. I remember Dick Broom in the village shop that sold everything from Brussell sprouts to Royal Doulton and was also the Post Office. The butcher would leave his straw hat hanging outside his shop when he wasn't there so you didn't waste time walking up the yard. The amazement when one of the thatched cottages on the main street I think was sold for £1500. Most people thought the purchaser was mad. The Vulcan bombers taking off and returning. I was receptionist in the Officers Mess at RAF Cottesmore and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Posted: 25/07/2008 22:18 by Liz Crosland |
