Looking at the photo of the row of houses from the top of Fen Street, the house nearest the camera was owned by my grandparents, Betty and Hans Claus and my mother Ann who at that time was about 8 years old (1959). The 3rd house along was also theirs which they had as the fish and chip shop. The house... [more]

Peterborough Grammar School for Girls
Does anyone have photographs of the Grammar School on Cobden Avenue? I was there for a couple of years before I moved away with my family and have vivid memories of the main school buildings and the three storey house on the corner where we also studied. On the way up the hill to school there was a coalyard... [more]

I became landlady of The White Swan as it was then, with my husband Gordon, who has since died. It had previously been run as an up market restaurant, but had not been successful. We concentrated on the village life, bringing the community together. Introduced bar skittles, darts, and instead of the restaurant, kept to plain English home-made... [more]

I played a lot of sports in teams with friends as well, tennis, netball, swimming, didn't do very well though in athletics. Looking back other pictures of Ramsey brought back... [more]

Cambridgeshire Villages Photographic Memories
The Talbot is open (left), and so is the newsagents A V Marshall. On the right is a sign for the Stilton Cheese. Stilton cheeses were first supplied for the landlord of the Bell by his sister-in-law from Leicestershire, and were infested with maggots. Daniel Defoe wrote in his journal that he was given a spoon to scoop out the maggots.... [more]

The banks beside the road show how it has eroded with use over hundreds of years; because of this the houses and small cottages on Church Street have steps down to the pavement.
