Memories of E/st Markham Hall
I remember my father moving to East Markham Hall in about 1937. We moved from Ranskill and there were three of us kids and Mum and Dad. He paid £50 a year rent from Mr Wrench who lived next door in a cottage. There was a big garden, a kitchen garden with a 6ft wall round it with a greenhouse with a boiler which I had to keep going during the winter. We kept chickens, ducks and till the war, and bred Samoyed dogs. There was a big Horse Chestnut tree and other trees which held a rookery, they made a great noise each morning, and in the spring we used to shoot the young rooks out of the nests. In the paddock were walnut trees and good grazing. There was a big rose garden with a mulberry tree in it and on the wall were peach and fig trees. In the big stables at the back, the Lovat Scouts came at the beginning of the war with their horses (see East... Read more
Evacuated Mums to be From London During The Blitz 1940
This is not a memory but if anyone has any information about the Eaton Hall Emergency Maternity Hospital, Eaton Road, East Retford, Notts, I would be very grateful to hear from them. My husband was born there in December 1940 and last year (2009) we managed to find it from the address on his birth certificate. It is now a Muslim boys' school and in the 1970s a teacher training college. I would welcome any information. Thanks
Emergency Maternity Home, Eaton Hall, Retford
I was very interested to see both Margaret's comments. I was born at Eaton Hall on 15th October 1944 when my mother was evacuated to Mansfield. I was born on a Sunday and as my mother was in heavy labour (and grunting and moaning a lot) she was 'told off' by one of the nurses and told to keep the noise down as Matron (whose office was below) did not like to be disturbed. Knowing my mother she would probably have given the nurse a rather rude retort. Has anyone any photographs of Eaton Hall as it was then? I'm compiling my family tree and would love to have some. Please get in touch to share memories. Regards, Carol
Eaton Hall
Hello all, just a note to say that I was born at Eaton Hall ijn May 1941. It is only a couple of years ago that I found it, now a school for what appears to be Asian boarders. Does anyone know anything about the history of the place? I have searched and can find nothing.
Remembrance Day
It was in the mid 50s that I went with my Grandmother to the Remembrance Day services held at the War Memorial. There were a group of WW1 veterans in a line and as a young child it was a surprise to me that they were crying. When I grew up and learnt what had been the horror of that war I understood.
My Grandmother had several cousins who died and whose names were on there. She pointed them out to me, but I do not remember them. In my mind's eye, I can see the scene. Remembrance Day remains an emotional time for me and I'm sure it goes back to those Sundays in November.
