Cornwall memories
Memories.
My mother ran Burraton Post Office from 1950 to about 1990 and sold Frith postcards. The cows are being driven by Mrs Cook, a farmer's wife, whose farm was about 300 yards behind the photographer in Liskeard Road, Burraton. The farm was called 'The Elms'. The farmhouse is still there, but is now an old peoples' home called The Elms. The farmland has been built on.
Burraton Post Office
Hi Bob. I remember your mother behind the Post Office counter. Your cat used to regularly attack our dog as we passed your front gate on the way to Burraton Park. We both went to Saltash Grammar School in the late fifties. I lived with Mrs Richards at 382 New Road a matter of a couple of hundred yards away near what used to be called the Coronation Inn and later was renamed the Rodney. Roger's shop was further down New Road from us. I believe it is now a Spar Store.
Nanny Cook
The lady driving the cows was my great-grandma Nanny Cook and the little girl in the photo was my mum.

Rising Sun / USA Family Decendents
My memory is from my father Douglas Willcocks, he would speek of his grandfather in Gunnislake. He said, that he owned a pub called the Rising Sun. I am trying to locate relatives that might have info. His father's name was John Willcocks. I am also trying to locate my grandmother's family, her name was Olive Sutton. My father said, when he was a child he would run to the mailbox to pick up a letter from his grandmother and drop one off from his mom. This went on for as long as he could remember. I am hoping that maybe just one letter has survived. I know these letters would be filled with family life and about her four sons that were her pride and joy. This would have been about 1930, as my father was born in Gunnislake in 1921. My father died this last summer at age 90. He always wondered about these letters, I feel bad that I waited so long but it would be nice to have something from... Read more
Day Trip From Calstock
I used to holiday in Calstock with my parents, staying with my grandparents who lived in the village. I used to regularly take their golden Cocker spaniel, Vicky, for a walk up to the railway station. This was around the early 1950s to about 1956.
I remember being taken, with my parents and by a family friend, to a place which I think would have been perhaps up to an hour's car ride away - probably much less. I believe it was still on the Cornish side of the Tamar but we may have crossed to Devon. At this place I was able to swim. My recollection is that is was a sort of rectangular, stone construction pool, possibly spring fed as it was very cold! It wasn't a 'public' pool and wasn't all that large but I am unable to suggest how big it was. ( I believe it was fresh water.) I've read Roger Deakin's book, 'Waterlog', but can't find anything there!
Does anyone have a clue where... Read more
The Best of Holidays
It is the 1960s, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones are the music everyone is listening to and three young eighteen year old boys with a tent and a boat and some basic camping equipment set off from Saltash Passage where they live to have their first holiday (without their parents) in Calstock, Cornwall. After a limited degree of preparation and strictly minimal organisation they cast off from their home turf - the passage and head upriver. The Tamar has always been a beautifull if perhaps sometimes daunting river at its widest point, and rowing against the tide was always a challenge even for a young man with friends to take over if you got too tired - of course you could always start up the seagull! We came up the river in our dinghy with a little seagull outboard motor and a sail and oars just in case. Sometimes it was more fun to sail or row if you wanted a quiet journey without disturbing the wildlife. You get to... Read more
