Cheshire memories
Barbridge
I can remember visiting my grandparents at Barbridge as a small child. In the early 60's my grandparents name was Poole and they lived in the end house nearest to the pub. Grandad worked for British Waterways and the garden went straight up to the canal. The people next door were called Bunn and I think Mr Bunn worked with my grandad - Mr Bunn had a daughter called Sandra. My grandad had an accident at work when I was 3 and unfortunately did not survive. I can remember running up the road to the shop as a small child and remember the house that my grandparents lived in very well. My grandma lived at the house with my aunt until the end of the 70's or early 80's. My grandma and aunt Minnie went to live in Nantwich after grandma had a bad fall and coulnd no longer live in the house.
Happy Days!
I was a trainee residential social worker at Elm House, Christmas 1974. I spent 2 months at several residential establishments working for the old Cheshire County Council. Fond memories of matron Dolly Barrett and cook Nan.
Silver Watch
I have taken possesion of a very tired silver watch. On the back is engraved 'Presented to Rev J Pearce by the Welsh Row Choir. July 1927'. Does anyone have an interest in the watch?
Dysart 1957
My brother Nigel was born here in 1957. It was both a farm and public house kept by my great uncle and aunt, Tom and Alice Moore.
Porch Roof
The small porch at the front was put on in about 1958, we made it in the workshop at H A Vickers & Son who were builders in Bunbury.
The Triangle
My aunty Jenny and uncle Albert Stockton used to live at the house in the triangle which used to be the old jailhouse. My dad, Ivor, used to take me and my brother John there and he used to cut our hair in the old shed.
Country View.
I used to cycle from Barbridge to Bunbury quite a lot in the 1950s when we needed to see Dr Arthur, but the view of the countryside was beautiful.
