Nostalgic memories of Stone's local history

Share your own memories of Stone and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

Add a Memory!

It's easy to add your own memories and reconnect with your shared local history. Search for your favourite places and look for the 'Add Your Memory' buttons to begin

My Father's Family Worked Here
My Grandfather, Bill Emery, worked here and his father Henry Emery was the farm bailiff for the Meakin family. I'm keen to know more about life there at the time and any connections to Henry.

Norbury's
Granny married George Norbury ( she already had 4 children including my Dad ) so they all lived over the ' shop' in High Street. ( 1920s ) Before the war ( it was winter ) I was born, it says Market Square, always thought that was a cold place to be born in mid winter ! May be that's why I now live in sunny Australia ! I went back and lived with Granny in Stone till I was called up for National Service. ( 1950s )

Family Tree
I've just traced loads of ancestors back to Sandon & other areas nearby. We have found many Hodsons, Dickersons & Clews. If any of these names are in your family please get in touch. My g gran Lizzie Louisa Clews moved down to Hampshire so broke the chain.

Pirehill Lane Walton Stone
I suppose as I grow older, memories of my youth increase. I remember living in Pirehill Lane when there was just one row of houses. In front of our house there was a row of huge trees, my bedroom in the back looked upon fields, fields and marshland. My friends and I would jump over our garden fences and disappear till meal times. What a childhood. My mother, sister and I would walk into Stone to do the ...see more

Stone In The 1950s
I am now 57 years of age, and live in Australia. I was born in Stone, Stafforshire in 1949 and would love to go back and visit. As a child I remember walking along the canal and standing watching as a blacksmith mended a horse's shoe. I remember hating school but even at that very tender age I was interested in the history of the school that I attended. Every day at home-time I walked on the stone footpath that was ...see more

Sandstone Site As At 21 August 2006
First time on web page, co-incidently was at site yesterday 20 Aug 2006. I used to play all around the area as a young child 1970+ when the area was allotments, the current site has lost about 10ft in height due to 20 years of erosion, filling in etc. If you look to the left of the centre pillar and to the root overhang, there is about 2ft of sandstone left visible and then you are at root level to ...see more
