Memories of A Wartime Evacuee
I arrived in St.Columb Minor a lonely five year old after travelling all day by train from Wood Green which is in north london. I was lucky to be placed with a lovely lady named Mrs Burden whos husband was away in the army. There were two daughters Von and Barbara . Our neighbours were Mrs Webber husband and son Dennis to the other side was the local provision store Tribilcocks across the road were the Bennett family. At the top of the street was the Bakery by the name of Strongmans whose wares I can still remember with much relish. The public house
at the bottom of the street was taken over by off duty american airmen who were very generous with sweets and chewing gum.I had many happy memories of St Columb Minor and would love to find any photographs of that era
I now live in Bodmin having retired there 2003 I have returned to veiw the area I`m afraid it has changed and not... Read more
Happy Times at Gran And Grandads
My Grandparents were Charlie and Mary Solomon, they lived in Timaru House on the main road. They had five children Bert, Les, Evelyn, Geoff and my mother Gwen. My Aunt Evelyn married Edward Williams who was manager at the Co-Op and Uncle Les worked in the bakery. My mother was head buyer for the drapery department. My mother married a St Dennis man, Rex Harris, and went to live at Menheniot before the Second World War. When I was a child we visited most Sundays, travelling from Menheniot near Liskeard, this took an hour in those days with no dual carriageways or bypass. There was a large garden at the back of the house and an orchard and vegetable area. I had an old shed for a playhouse and loved spending time there as we had no garden at all at Menheniot. The Bennetts lived next door then and after that the Mays. Mr and Mrs Hider lived across the road. My cousin Wendy Williams lived with my aunt and uncle... Read more
Honeymoon
Alas my wife passed away in 2005 but my memories are still very vivid re St Columb Minor, maybe someone reading this will know where I am talking about, our honeymoon was spent in a cottage next to the village pub, Mr & Mrs Masters owned the cottage, they were so kind and she made a lovely cornish pasty. Back in the fifties after demob 5 of us lads stayed at the same address (can you imagine?) Mrs Masters was just like a mum to us all and we stayed with her each year, 1959-60-61-62 and then our honeymoon. if my memory serves me correctly we used to frequent an hotel for our drinks as the hotel was being built it was called the Bedruthan steps!! HAPPY DAYS
Silver Wedding
Bob and I have spent many a holiday in Cornwall, but nothing match the way we felt when we discovered the magic of Porth.
It happened just under the bridge, which I now call our rock.
We have spent many hour waiting for the waters to meet from the arrival of the surf up the beach and through the cove from Dollar Rock
In fact this is were I Yvonne fell in love with Bob.
We have just on New Years Eve 2007 celebrated our Silver Wedding there just sitting on our rock with champane and new wedding rings plunged in the water at the time the two tides meet a very speical moment most memorable. a very magical place.
The Millhouse
I was born at home in the mill house at Kestle Mill. My mother ran a small Bed and Breakfast from there when I was little. My parents were Julia and Michael Soady. The midwife arrived in a red MG to deliver me. I have one picture of the place so if anyone has any info or pics I would love to see them. Jane
To my Father
I have just came across a letter about my father (Matthew Fury) who was killed at St Columb during the Second World War, my father was with his regiment 219/46Light A.A Battery. R.A.
The letter was sent to my grandmother in 1941 by my dad's Commanding Officer (Major A. W. Smyllie) who was billleted at The Red Lion Hotel in 1941.
My dad was an Ack-Ack Gunner, when the German aircraft came over dropping their bombs, my dad and one other of the gun crew were killed in action. According to my dad's Commanding Officer they were the first two people to be killed at that time,so I thought it might give you all a little history what went on during the Second World War down in your part of the country.
I only came across this letter when my older brother died this year, I did not know my brother had this letter until my nephews presented the letter to me and my dad's medal, I really thought what... Read more
The Old Copper
If you look at the Coastguard Cottages in the background you will see a small wash house in front of the cottages on the lower garden. In the back left hand corner of the wash house was an old large copper where my grandmother Kate Knight used to boil all of her white washing. The sheets hanging on the washing line was visible to all the traffic coming down the hill from Trevarion. My grandmother was always being complemented on how white her washing was.
