The Swing Boats Ride on The Riverbank
Looking back now I think I must have been terrified when my dad took my sister and I on the swing boats which swung out so far you could see the water of the river underneath you. As you pulled the rope harder the boat would go higher. It was a regular "treat" each Sunday when my dad would take us on the Midland red bus from Wolverhampton to see my grandparents who lived in a little cottage by a public house called the Dog and Gun. My garndfather grew all his own vegetables and had a well in the garden where we would pump water from, and my grandma had fresh milk in jugs which stood on a stone flagged floor in buckets of water to keep the milk cool (no such luxury as a refrigerator). I loved just being there and I'm so glad I have these special memories.
While we were there we would also visit my aunt and uncle who lived in Arley Kings in a... Read more

Thomas Collins
My great-grandfather Thomas Henry Collins was born in 1885 to James Collins and Harriet Collins, nee Turner, he was one of eleven children and they lived in Ombersley. James Collins was a general labourer.
Are my Roots in Ombersley?
My great-grandparents named their house in Hounslow-Ombersley. They moved there before 1924 as I have pics of my mother at the front gate. I wonder if either of them came from Ombersley and what is the connection. My great-grandma was Caroline Richardson and grandpa Arthur Fensom. I now proudly display a refurbished house name sign on my house in Bluewater Far North Queensland.
Where's Everyone Now?
My memories of Ombersley, Worcs, are from when I was 8-9 years of age, walking to Ombersley school with my sister Dot, holding hands, rain or shine, from Westwood House, four miles and back again after school, past snake valley, lunchtime all the pupils, only one class I think in the whole school, would march from School Bank down to the corner, popping in the set-back tuck shop for toffee lollies, only one teacher at the front of the line, with two elderly ladies serving in shop! Carrying on to the village harvest hall, a very old wattle and daub building with old oak beams, for school dinners, until one day this old harvest festival hall, we were informed, had the roof completely collapsed, lucky we were not in it at the time, and so we were next led past the old tuck shop to the brick-built changing rooms in the cricket grounds from then on for our school dinners. I remember I was a dinner monitor. The school is... Read more

If anyone has any information about this I would love to hear from them.
Crowther Family
Does anyone remember or have links with the Crowther family who lived in Chaddesley Corbett 1900-1910? This is relevent to me as Lewis was my father. Phillip my grandfather, who I never knew, worked in the big house as a coachman I believe and I want to see if there are any reletives still surviving who may be related to me. My email address is martingrenville@talktalk.net
Any photos or anything would be gratefully received.
Many thanks.
