Hill Ridware, the Chadwick Arms 1960 (ref: H268006)
Year: 1860s Chadwick family
I am searching for a Charles & Hugo Mavesyn Chadwick.
Charles Chadwick died c1820 and Hugo Chadwick died in 1854.
I notice that the name of the public house in Hill Ridware is the Chadwick Arms.
Does anyone have any history of this pub and why it was given this name and of the Chadwicks of Mavesyn Ridware?
Betty Ashton (nee Chadwick)

  Year: 1949 Colwich Football Team
My father, James E Bond, captained the Colwich Swifts for at least two seasons, and the team won the league in 1949. Jim played at Right Half. This memory was shared by Jim's friend Bill Fox.

  Year: 1978 Jackhills Toyshop
I have great memories of Jackhills toyshop on the Horsefair in the seventies. I used to love going in there and it was the first stop to spend birthday or Christmas money, (usually some Sindy clothes or once - some roller skates!) I always remember looking longingly at the bikes and prams they had parked up in the covered entrance - I never had one of those though!

Hixon, the Post Office c1952 (ref: H412005)
Year: 1955 The photograph is of my mother.
I'm a little young to remember the post office as it is in the photograph, but I can say that the girl in the pushchair is my mother and the lady behind is one of my great aunts. Three of my great aunts built and ran the store and post office at the bottom of the village, i don't know exactly when it was built though. I believe the photograph to be earlier than 1955 as my mother was born in 1949 and she looks younger than 6.
