Netherfield House is now up for sale, the estate agent lists it beautifully, I have photos of the house as it was, and am glad to see that the current owners kept it beautifully as a house of that age should be

I have a sketchy memory of my childhood in Easneye, between the ages of around 3-5 years old. I remember my mother dropping me off and being terrified. She said I was having a holiday but never came back for me. All I can remember of my time was the dormitory, just a row of unfriendly beds, and the "farm" with... [more]

What was at the top of the hill?
At the top of Cats Hill were three large houses, one was called Netherfield House and had been donated by the Booth family to the Salvation Army. My father ran the house as a residential home for 29 gentlemen, and I worked with him for several years. The house now, I believe has been converted into luxury apartments, and I would... [more]

Not really a memory - rather a request for information. My grandfather, Alfred Pain, was licensee of the Crown Inn from possibly the late 1920s through to the middle 1930s. If anyone has any memories/information/photos of the public house and/or my grandfather's time there, I would be most grateful to hear them.
Incidentally, my mother, Doris Bird, used... [more]

Nineteen years pleasurable living in Great Amell.
My family of four childen, my husband and I, moved into part of a large country house known as 'Ravenscourt', standing in 3 acres of land: we named our semi "Little Ravenscourt'. Within our back garden stood a beautiful large 'Indian Bean Tree' (catelpa), which the children loved to climb on: in the spring it was covered in small orchid-like... [more]

My parents, Peggy and Stan Pinner, moved to Hunsdon from Leyton in 1957. Stan's family was from Wyddial and Aspenden, so Hunsdon was a good fit for them. A small estate was being erected on Wicklands Road and they bought number 3. Our next door neighbours were the Duddys, other neighbours were the Porters, the Joyces, the Fergusons, the Richardsons and... [more]

Here we see the lower end of the High Street with the 17th-century Clock House on the opposite side of the T junction, with its mullions, quoins and quaint weather-boarded bell turret. It was formerly used as a school. On the left is the red-brick Pied Bull Inn.

The fine saloon car in the foreground, probably a year-old Morris 20, bearing the registration number YU6523, appears in many contemporary photographs of Stanstead Abbots - does it still survive today? On the right is John William Hodgin's draper's shop, which was earlier the post office and run by A Blackby. Further down was William W Ray, a confectioner and... [more]
