Nostalgic memories of Crowle's local history

Share your own memories of Crowle and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

These two shops in the High Street in Crowle were owned by my grandmother Rose Raper. They were handed down to my father and aunt. My dad Raymond Raper had the grocers shop at number 98 and we lived above the shop until I was ten years old in 1963. My dad continued to work in the shop until his retirement in 1984. The shop at 100 was owned by my aunt Winnie Underwood. She had a drapery shop and her husband ran the post office at the back of the premises.
