More about this scene

This is a lovely wide open space with ample room for the Friday market. This photograph must have been taken from the Trinity Bridge. On the left, Parnell's shop is now the Ideal Shop, still selling newspapers. The white shop in the distance is still a ladies' hairdresser's, and on the right under the sunblind there is now Lloyds the chemist's. Notice the superb thatching on the house on the left. Further down, near all the cars, is Frydays, a good fish and chip shop and restaurant.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Not so much a memory, but I'm researching my family tree and my family, the Patmans, lived in Nene Terrace at Vine House Farm. My great grandfather is Arthur George, born in 1899 and died 1964, he was married to Vivian Paul and they had children Fred (Born as John Frederick), Jean, Elizabeth (my nan), George and Violet. Would love to hear from anyone who remembers this family and if anyone has any stories regarding them.
I was born in 5 Nene Terrace on 2-4-47. I remember the Pattersons, the Brakes, and a little shop where I could get 2oz of sweets. Does any one remember my family? My mum was Marjorie, my sister Shirley and I had two brothers, Tom and Roly.
My mother Margery Irene Martin was born in Crowland, she had 3 brothers Reggie, Clarry and Ron. She married my father Wilfred Houghton Blackwell at the Abbey Church in 1936. My last contact was a letter from my Aunt Rene(Clarry's wife) when she was living at 19 Woad Court, The Crescent, Eye. I would love to make contact with any relatives I have in the area. Annette Hood
Ref: Les and Bunny Fox, publicans. I lived in Crowland as a young child and my parents ran the Durham Ox, Nene Terrace, as land ord and landlady. Would anyone who knew my parents and has any pictures of the pub or my parents be so very kind as to let me take copies or forward them to my email? Someone out there must have some history of them, of course I will pay if needed. My email is Davvlinn@aol.com
