Worcestershire memories

Brick Kiln Cottages in About 1881

Does anybody know where Brick Kiln Cottages in Rushbrook are? As my family lived there in 1881.

St.Mary's Church.

My grandmother, Emma Everrett was married at St. Mary's church in Hampton Lovett, to Frederick William Gately on 28th April 1931.
If anyone has any information about this I would love to hear from them.

Thomas Collins

My great-grandfather Thomas Henry Collins was born in 1885 to James Collins and Harriet Collins, nee Turner, he was one of eleven children and they lived in Ombersley. James Collins was a general labourer.

Are my Roots in Ombersley?

My great-grandparents named their house in Hounslow-Ombersley. They moved there before 1924 as I have pics of my mother at the front gate. I wonder if either of them came from Ombersley and what is the connection. My great-grandma was Caroline Richardson and grandpa Arthur Fensom. I now proudly display a refurbished house name sign on my house in Bluewater Far North Queensland.

Where's Everyone Now?

My memories of Ombersley, Worcs, are from when I was 8-9 years of age, walking to Ombersley school with my sister Dot, holding hands, rain or shine, from Westwood House, four miles and back again after school, past snake valley, lunchtime all the pupils, only one class I think in the whole school, would march from School Bank down to the corner, popping in the set-back tuck shop for toffee lollies, only one teacher at the front of the line, with two elderly ladies serving in shop! Carrying on to the village harvest hall, a very old wattle and daub building with old oak beams, for school dinners, until one day this old harvest festival hall, we were informed, had the roof completely collapsed, lucky we were not in it at the time, and so we were next led past the old tuck shop to the brick-built changing rooms in the cricket grounds from then on for our school dinners. I remember I was a dinner monitor. The school is... Read more

Holt Fleet Hotel

The Bridge c1955

In 1954 my father and mother took over the Holt Fleet Hotel when I was 9 years old. The photographs on this site brings back memories of the two years that I spent as a child there. Steamers from Worcester would moor at the landing stage and passengers would disembark for afternoon tea in the grandly named ballroom.
The pictures of the hotel shown on this site are of the original earlier building which was demolished in the 1930s and replaced by one of the larger roadhouses which breweries built so many of at that time. As a child it was an ideal place to grow up and I look back at that time with fondness.

My mother now 85 years old worked in the 'Casle' when it was a girls school, she was about 15, at the time, and like many of her generation had to go into 'service', and leave home. She made friends with the Taylor family who lived in Holt Fleet, I have memories visitng them in their cottage as a young boy, still in school, back home in South Wales. Many years late Dad & Mum took my daughter and I to see the castle, now I believe a private residence, converted to flats
