George Goode
A memory of Leamington Spa, Warwickshire

George Goode who was born at Wappenbury in the 1840s was one of the builders who worked constructing this church. He was my  great grandfather on my father's side of the family. His daughter was Ellen Louisa Goode who married Thomas Pratt. He was once an officer at the Reformatory at Weston under Wetherley. He later became a master baker and became baker at Moreton Morrell.

  The Bus
A memory of Huntworth, Somerset

My family purchased and converted an old single decker bus for us to have holidays in. It was parked on a small piece of land opposite the church. An old Gypsy caravan was parked just inside the gate to the land, I was told that it had to be burned as it was so rotten and infested! I can remember as a very small child staying in the bus and fishing in the stream which ran next to the land we were on. My family used to walk up to the 'Fleur de Lys' pub at night and bring back a large bottle of cider. I visited the site recently and found it to be almost as it was. Houses have been built just round the corner and the site is now someones back garden. I hope that it remains as it is because I have so many lovely memories of the place.

Claverdon, Malt House Cottage c1960 (ref: C253009)
Year: 1964 I lived here
A memory of Claverdon, Warwickshire

I lived at The Malt House, Claverdon in the early mid 1960s. It was owned at the time by Mr Jefferson who lived in a lovely new bungalow a little further away. I loved this house even if it was a bit unusual to live in. I went to school in Claverdon and Miss Lewthwaite was my teacher she was really nice. Does anyone else remember this place?
I don't think the Malt House has changed that much, it still looks lovely in the modern photos I have seen of it. I bet the floors still slope upstairs.
In the barn at the end it had a "Copper" where my mum boiled the whites on washing day and she had to cross the road to hang her washing in a field on the corner.
