Worcestershire memories

Simmonds Hanley Castle

I am researching the Simmonds family who lived in Quay Lane in Hanley Castle about 1900. My father recalls the floods of the early 1900s when Quay Lane flooded and he was trapped up stairs with his mother, Alice Simmonds.

Does any one out there have any information on the Simmonds family as I have a lot of there history to share.

A NIGHT OUT AT THE THEATRE.

I met a lovely lady from Baughton Lane while living in central London, the lady's name was at the time Miss Delphine Sherriff. She told where she lived and I have been around your most beautiful landscape. After meeting the lady I went backpacking around Europe for 5 years and lost touch. Whilst living in London we went to see '42nd Street' it Drury Lane. She told me how beautiful Baughton was and I have to agree with her as I now paint and draw there and I took my inspiration from Delphine as I have visited over 60 countries around the world and I found nothing to compare with your local scenery, I have to say thank-you. And I would like to meet up with Miss Sheriff again and thank her, she was the 'Lady in Red' that was no 1 at the time.

Hanley Swan 1930s on

Hello Readers, I am doing a little bit of research for my father-in-law dating back to the 1930s. Hanley Swan Boys Home, People you know, places, your Memories. Any information would be a heaven sent. This is quite important to him. I will add bits and pieces of his memories as they come to hand. As I am only just starting out on this venture I do not have much to share at present. Stay posted. Thank you Lisa

Home of The Good Shepherd

I'm writing on behalf of my husband Ronald Jones. He was in The Home of the Good Shepherd, Hanley Swan, Worcestshire. He was there from approx. 1937 to 1943, when he was 11. Has anyone any memories of this time? Would be grateful for any information.

Severn Stoke

St. Denny's

In my travels 2010, I stopped at the picturesque village and Church. Had a meal and a beer in The Rose & Crown. A memory that will linger forever.

Malvern Wells

Does anyone remember the army transit camp in Malvern Wells called Wood Farm Camp? I looked on Google Earth and all that is there is a field, I had some great memories of this place when I was a kid.

Many hours were spent playing on the hills around this area. In the centre of the picture is a mound, we called it the Tump, it was the excavation from the cutting and it was made into a feature with three seats or benches for walkers to enjoy a rest and admire the views over Herefordshire.
