Memories of High Street c1960, Sutton-On-Trent
Date Error.
The photo shows number 18 High Street, on the left, where Mr. and Mrs Miles lived.
A small conservatory covered the ground floor windows in this view prior to 1964, when the house had alterations made. A double garage and kitchen extension were added and the rose garden was concreted over for the driveway.
I remember when it was altered, the builders found rushes under concrete in the upstairs floors and rushes in the ceilings.
Carlton on Trent
My grandfather, Charles Arthur Evan, was signalman there. My mom Margaret Evans was born there in 1917, one of four daughters. She passed away nearly three years ago at 92 and as sharp as a whip. We emigrated to Canada in 1958. My mom and dad, James Peter Turner, knew so many of the folks in Tuxford and Carlton on Trent as they had the Fountain Hotel in Tuxford, also Cherry Tree Farm and a barbers shop on Eldon Street. My dad was also the undertaker and bell ringer at church. My daughter visited Ruth and Nigel Walton who were so kind and wecoming to them. My mom and family lived in Beck Cottage and she had so many memories. My Auntie Ruby is the teacher in your book. Does anyone remember her?
