Nostalgic memories of Strelley's local history

Share your own memories of Strelley 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.

I shouldn't say as I think where we played in the woods is private property and as been split from the old bowling green and tennis courts with a main road but we called it the canian woods where we would make a rope swing which swung out into the large canian hole amazing also play hide and seek, doby help um and knock down chestnuts and conkers with a stick
Sandy banks in strelley village is a place in the 70s where we would build rope swings and camp
I used to love playing on this park when I was a kid in the 70s because of the coppers hat and caterpillar seesaw don't see rides like that anymore but we had so much fun
