Lincolnshire memories
The Woolpack Hotel, Wainfleet
This isn't a memory, but I would like to hear about other people's memories as to the Woolpack at Wainfleet. I have been the landlady of this hotel for the last 7 months and would like to know some history about the premises prior to the 1950s - can anyone help?
The Woolpack at Wainfleet
I have memories of me and the now-landlord getting banned from this pub and I lost me bike!
OLD PICS REQUIRED
Hi all who read this... I have lived in Bratoft now in this very old cottage since 1992. I am very interested in any info about this cottage, Great Steeping Cottage, or Steeping Cottage as it was once called. The property was empty when we moved here. We have been told that the original part of which was a one up & one down is around 200 years old. I am looking for old pics, maybe any old pics previous to 1980. The older the better but anything would be great to have. And also any history... This cottage is also very haunted and again history may shed some light on these happenings. Anyone that may have lived here previous to 1992, we would love to hear from you... I can be reached via e mail: andy_guy_uk@yahoo.com and all mails will be answered.. Thanks for your time and I hope someone will read this from older times..
Memories of A Child
I remember Eastville as a child growing up, we used to visit and stay with my nan (Linda Howard) every bank holiday. It was very quiet and peaceful. We had some lovely times, Grandad (John Howard) was the local smithy. Most times some of us would walk what dad called the 5 mile walk from the corner by the pub (the Wheatsheaf), and I remember the nights when the chip shop opened, it was heaven, they were scrummy, we (my brothers and sisters) used to like the batter scraps. My nan lived in one of the council houses across from the grain mill, we also used to go to the shop - Cooks general stores. There might be some families living there that still remember our family, mainly because there were 11 of us kids, Mom and Dad were Barbara and Alf. One of the other things was the home grown veggies and fruit that Nan would have growing in the back garden, Mom and Dad would always come away... Read more
Carefree Childhood Days
I grew up in the Winthorpe area & recall strolling along the Avenue on our way to the beach. Holding tightly to my mothers hand it was always an exciting adventure. Clutching my bucket & spade I impatiently tugged my mum along eager to reach the sandy shore. As we approached the promenade I could taste the bitter sweetness of the salty air mingling with the irresistible aroma of malt vinegar emanating from the local fish & chip restaurant. Racing across the shimmering sands searching the rock pools for all manner of fascinating creatures. Digging & sifting the fine yet coarse grains between my fingers & tickling my toes. Splashing in the waves caressing the shoreline; sensing the rhythmn of the tides; in perfect accord with the elements. A symphony of mesmerising beauty punctuated by the shrill scream of the gulls- the soundtrack of my childhood. On our way home we would climb the staggered steps to the left of the photograph. Standing on tip-toe I would gaze at the... Read more
Remembering my Best Friend, Andy Gardiner
While studying at Westminster Technical College, Hotel School just off Victoria Street in London I became good friends with Andy Gardiner whose parents ran a small hotel, probably one of these pictured here, in the North Parade of the front at Skegness.
Andy invited me up at some point to meet his parents and sister, he being accompanied by his then lovely French girlfriend of whom I was terribly envious.
Later, during the Easter Holidays, we were to travel to the Rhine Valley, accompanied with his pal, Whigs. NEVER..I say NEVER travel in a threesome .. it is fatal as there inevitably comes a clash when one person sides with another, leaving one out. Nevertheless, despite the occasional blowout, we had a great trip sampling German wines in the famous cellars around Rüdesheim and Mainz.
After graduation Andy went to Munich where he had obtained a job at the Hotel Bayerischerhof, one of the city's premier luxury hotels. He suggested that I go with him and... Read more
Butlins Staff 1976-`77
I had lost my son in a road accident and my marriage broke up. I was a qualified nurse and applied for the post of nurse at Butlins in 1976 (it was very hot that summer). I was the night nurse for two seasons. I met my present wife (Pauline) there (also a nurse from Portsmouth). I played golf every day at Northshore with the now 'Chuckle Brothers' who were at the 'Derby Miners'. Pauline and I used to go to the disco at the 'Goodfoot'. We got complimentary tickets for the Baron Knights, Norman Wisdom and Roy Walker. Happy days. Cliff Charlesworth
