Year: 1930s
Holiday in Rolleston
My mother was taken from Tamworth to Rolleston by her Grannie (nee Maria Pegg) for a holiday in a cottage. My mother remembers that the man in the cottage was a brewery worker. He used to bring black stuff like sweets for them to eat. Mum would have been 7 or 8 as she wrote a letter to her mum. We don't know who this man was but could have been a brother.

 Tutbury, the Castle 1967 (ref: T165006) |
Year: 1968
Childhood playground A memory of Tutbury, Staffordshire I was lucky enough to live in the High Street in Tutbury in the 1960s and Tutbury Castle was my playground - we used to spend hours up there climbing on the walls and up the twisting stairs of the towers. One fond memory is one of my friends being dared to walk across the grille covering the well (quite deep, but almost empty) and getting her foot stuck. We had to take her shoe off and almost dropped it down the well! I also remember buying dandelion and burdock pop from the little shop, and making sure we returned the empty bottles to collect our deposits! And I remember the stories about the castle being haunted but never saw anything myself. Posted: 29/09/2008 22:19 by Cherry-Ann Dowling |

 Burton-On-Trent, Stapenhill 1961 (ref: B286007) |
Walking with my Dad A memory of Burton-On-Trent, Staffordshire I was 5 years old when I remembered my Dad taking me for a walk through Stapehill Gardens. I always remember the large swan with the flowers around it. I often go back and have a photo taken of the swan, it's a beautiful scene and I shall visit the swan again this year.

Year: 1940s
childhood A memory of Alrewas, Staffordshire Having just stumbled across this website and viewed the photographs, I immediately went into nostalgia mode. I was born in Alrewas in 1938 in one of the small cottages in Main Street just down from Mansell's bridge, and then moved to The Old School House in Park Road the following year, where I spent the next 12 years. I have many memories of the village as it was in the 1940's and early 1950's, ranging from place names , shops, farms, business premises, and people. I can still recall most of my pals who grew up with me during this austere period during , and immediately after the War, and have many happy memories, and understandably a few unhappy ones. It would be wonderful to get in touch with anyone who remembers me from this perod to chat over old times, and to make comparisons with village life today. So come on you Old Codgers get in touch.

Dickinson's shop A memory of Alrewas, Staffordshire It was always a real pleasure to pop into this old fashioned shop for any supplies and talk to Mrs D! Last edited: 03/09/2006 00:20 by Frank Clarke |
