Just Fields
There was never a housing estate in those days so everyone was able to walk to school across the open fields. There was also a farm situated near the junction of Sandbach Road North and Lodge Road Last edited: 20/02/2007 10:03 by Peter Dale |

Mr Dovey Newsagent
I was born and lived in Alsager for over 40 years and remember Bank corner. I was a newspaper boy for Mr Dovey. Also have a sepia photo of Hancocks store which I also recall quite well as a young boy. Last edited: 15/02/2007 09:23 by Peter Dale |

 Haslington, the Village c1960 (ref: H324018) |
Year: 1958
Haslington village Post Office
My Grandparents ran the post office in Haslington for many years (not sure how many exactly). Their names were Harry and Connie Jones, they built the business up from nothing and delivered newspapers, ran the post office and made their own ice cream which my mum always said people came from miles to buy. They were always up at 5 o'clock in the morning sorting out the newspapers and delivering them as well as running the post office. They had three children, Nancy, Bob and Dorothy, they were all brought up in the village and helped in the shop, and knew everyone in the village with living at the Post Office. Of course the village was a lot smaller then. Across the road from the Post Office, on the corner, was a Smithy, where I can remember horses being shod and the sound of the anvil as they put the shoes on the horses.

Crewe, the Square c1955 (ref: C316037) |
Year: 1965
The Adelphie Pub
My friend Raymond Slinn was the last bar man to work in the Adelphie Hotel and he was telling me about it when I stayed with him in his home in Tenerife where he is retired. Apparently when the Adelphie was pulled down grown men cried as it was reduced to a pile of rubble. It was such a lively and friendly place to be (I can immagine this to be so because Ray himself is a bundle of laughs). His wife's name was Pam and his children Karen, Claire and Emma, who he misses now that he is so far away. People would have a drink at the Adelphie before going to the Crosville Club where all the caberets were on. He would like to hear from anyone who remembers him to exchange memories. He recalls Brierley Street Secondary Modern where he attended from years 1958 to 1962. He remembers, without much joy, a headmaster named Mr Edervane who was there at the time and Mr Brooks who was a gentleman and good teacher. He remembers sneaking out of the school's science lab to go for a smoke (he still smokes!). He later worked at Rolls Royce Motors on the assembly line before going to live in LLandudno where he made his fortune entertaining in the Grand Hotel. Last edited: 01/10/2008 11:49 by Ken Edwards |
