Cornwall memories
Roskear Farm
As a youngster I recall staying at this farm with (I think) my father's relatives.
I used to see my cousin Sandra and we would run through the fields and enjoy the animals. My brother Stuart and I would help Uncle bring in the cows, and I would be sent to feed the sows. Sadly I cannot recall the names of these relatives, but I recall they did have a son. My father's name was Waldron, Reg Waldron. I hope that someone may see this and remember who owned or rented the farm before the Frenches (Dawn French's - the comedienne - family). Or even further on.
Early Years
I was in the US Navy at St. Mawgan and moved into The Lambs Barn in Talskiddy in 1972. In 1973 I married a girl from the RAF and we lived in the Barn which was owned by Deg and Jenny Warner until I went back to America in 1976. Some wonderful memories were had there and one day I will return.
Notes From The Frith Files
The little girl sitting is Doreen Kate Stone, boy with the black hat is Sam Harris, the two boys arm in arm are Will Gard (blonde) and Willie McOwen, the boy with arms folded is Clifford Coutsoubos, the boy in bow of boat is Cyril Thomas - all Padstowians.
Same Name
My name is Louise Brown and I live in Australia. I went to England in 2007, had a wonderful time. I spent some time in Padstow because I lived in Padstow in Sydney Australia. I had heard so much about Padstow in England, especially Rick Stein's restaurants. Padstow is a beautiful place, it holds many great memories. I live on the south coast of Sydney now, right opposite the beach, just like Padstow in England. I would love to visit again in the future.
Lynmouth Lifeboat, Louisa
This boat belonged to a local legend, Tommy Morrissey. I've fond memories of getting up at 5am to go fishing with him during the mid 70's. In 1982, after Tommy went to the big fishpond upstairs, his boat Girl Maureen was bought by the Lynmouth lifeboat society and restored as a replica of its sistership the Louisa, Lynmouth's famous lifeboat. It's on display in Lynmouth and used when the towns people re-enact the 1899 launching.
The Padstow I Remember
I was too young to walk in this picture but would certainly have been pushed around this quayside (barely 1/4 mile from my home) many times in the year of photo 1938.
As I grew up in the 1940s-1950s this view remained remarkably unchanged, what a tranquil scene so unspoilt by the mass of cars that now envelope the town.
Every house in the town was occupied 365 days of the year!!
Only a small number of discerning tourists came to Padstow in those days but the ones who did invariably returned year after year.
I left the town in mid 50s to go away and learn and earn my living and sadly don't get back too often these days.
I miss the Padstow I knew very much but don't think I could live now in the modern tourist hotspot of Padstein.
The Girl Maureen
She was launched as a rowing lifeboat, Docea Chapman, and came to Padstow as a relief boat. She was only on station for nine moths then laid up. I am the girl Maureen. Father bought her in 1952 and converted her into a fishing boat, giving her my name. I spent many hours at sea with him hauling pots and catching mackerel. He retired in 1982 but continued to fish skippering other people's boats until his death in 1996. Many happy memories of days at sea, warm flasks of tea and kitkats. The boat was sold to the Lynton and Lynmouth Preservation Society in 1982, restored to her lifeboat colours and shape and renamed Louisa II. She was deemed too old to haul over Porlock Hill on the 100th anniversary of the Overland Launch but is still on public display in Lynmouth. Maureen Tatlow (The Girl Maureen)
