Derbyshire memories
Stanfree General Stores
I am currently looking into my family history, I am aware that Mr Frederick London and his wife Eliza owned the general stores around the 1950s. His sons William James London and John Henry London both died in the Cresswell Colliery Disaster 1950. I am unaware if they were buried or cremated, they were brought up from the mine in 1951. I am looking for any information people are willing to give or photographs. I would be extremely grateful as this would help in me building my history.
Grannys House
my grandparents lived at 77 Old Hill, third house just behind tree, Mr and Mrs Thomas. I lived there till they built the Wimpy estate on fields behind my mum and dad, then got a council house. I loved living on the old hill, the family next door I am still friends with. That big tree in front of the houses used to have a tree swing, all the kids used to have a swing on it. A lot of children lived in the other houses you can see and nearly all still live in Bolsover.
School Days in Bolsover
Friday market coming home from welbeck road school through the market down castle lane to carr vale with a 1d hovis loaf in my hand
Life on The Wimpey Estate
8 Manor Court Road. I used to live there as a child, up to the time shortly before my mum died. We had moved to Carr Vale by then. I always remember Auntie Elaine next door and that the kids all called me Mister Softie because when the ice cream man came and played his jingle I always went running into the street, wanting an ice cream. I also used to have to walk across Castle Fields every day to go to school in Carr Vale. Great in the summer but it wasn't so good in the snow!
Memories of When I Was A Youngster
I remember watching rail embankment being removed with earth moving machines. The village hall at the model village. Types of equipment on recreation ground below Bainbridge Hall. Tunnel to Scareclif filled and blocked. Walking round large market on Kitchen Croft which has a signpost naming it Town End car park. Old buildings. My school on Welbeck Road. Tennis courts on Horncroft recrreation park. Markham and Bolsver pits. Mercol which had station buildings in use.
Childhood
I went to live in Huddersfield in 1964, having been in Poolsbrook fom being born in 1944. I went to school with Ann West, Mavis Bannister, Margo Frost and Barbara Budworth. We had happy times. Doing all the things that girls do. I would like to be able to contact them, but don't have their married names !!
Bolsover Church
I served part of my carpentry and joinery apprentice with Jack Brown [Bolsover] and C E Gaunt [Chesterfield]. When the church burnt down C E Gaunt rebuilt it - what a fantastic job - but in those days no videos so does anyone have any pictures of the rebuilding as I also worked on the crooked spire after that fire.
