Hertfordshire memories
Cycle Rides to Ashwell
A group of us lads from Muswell Hill in North London used to cycle to Ashwell on a weekend to visit one of our mates who moved there with his mum, his name was Peter and his mum was housekeeper at the Manor House where we used to camp and meet the local girls. We also used the local pub knowing we were under age at the time, but in those days we were a responsible lot and were never any trouble to anyone. I doubt if anyone is still around from the local crowd but if there is maybe they can add their own memories.
Airwork Service RAF Bassingbourn
I worked for three years at RAF Bassingbourn for Airwork Services and enjoyed my time in the village, plenty of pubs in those days, one was just outside. Does any one remember which pub featured in a film about the war called either 'The Battle of Britain', 'The Dambusters' or 'Reach for the Sky'?
Royston 1967-9
I worked for Airwork Services in the late 1960s and there were people from Royston who worked there, there was a girl called Linda who worked on the camp hairdressers and a couple of others, I can't recall the names but I still have photos taken outside the shop alongside the lady who was next door in the NAAFIshop. If anyone sees this can they add a comment if they remember Pat the little Scotsman? I went in a gang to the fairground with Linda and others to Royston. I loved that town but had to leave when camp closed. I know Linda got a job in a hairdressers in Royston as I spoke to her on the phone some years later. I am retired now and might find myself up for a weekend from where I live in Kent.
Royston Heath Lodge (work House)
A memory that I shouldn't recollect. I could have only been about 4 years old and I can remember staying at Heath Lodge with my family. It was I think used as a halfway house for families waiting for housing in the 1960s. I'm now 50 and I can still remember my mother taking me to the nursery underneath the balcony where we lived, and watching her leave to go to the shops. I can still see the chain link fencing that went round the walkway. I still remember some of the families that lived in the same place, the Lloyds and the Jarmins. If anyone else can remember staying at Heath Lodge in the 1960s I would like to hear from you and also anyone who has any photos of Heath Lodge - I know it was demolished in 1972. One of my brothers broke his arm falling out of a tree at the entrance. It is so weird that I can remember something so long ago. If anyone has... Read more
Bassingbourn Airfield
A relative of mine worked on the airfield for a private contractor until his death in 1940. His name was George Fynn, of Rainham in Essex. He was riding pillion on a motor bike whan they had a head on with an R.A.F. truck near the airfield. Would anyone know of this person?
The Chequers Pub
I remember when my nan had the Chequers. My Dad grew up there. We used to go there every Sunday and Nanna Bet would let us have crisps and a coke, in the old style glass bottles. Phil would give us a load of 10ps to go on the machines in the front bar and I thought it was brilliant. Does anyone remember or did you know my uncle who lived there, Billy Wilson? I also remember a lovely Scottish man called Mac who was always in the pub, he had a huge moustach - happy happy days x
Baldock Hostel
I lived in the hostel in the 1960s and liked the area very much. I was a member of the working man's club, the cinema always had up to date films. The town boasted good pubs, there was plenty of work in nearby Letchworth. I had spells in Borg Warner, Emme's Plastic Moulding, Brand's Coatings and more. I heard most of what I mention is now gone.
