My Dad
My dad was born in Hackney, London in 1922. Named Arthur Lawrence Gibbs, son of William Arthur Gibbs. My grandad came to Australia in 1925 with my grandma and with 3 or 4 children pioneed a farm in Northcliffe in Western Australia. I myself have been to England but only once in my life(I was born in 1953). My son and my daughter have both visited the fair country and spent a lot of time there and have been to the old Hackney. I have not been there, and if anyone can help me with any memories or stories I would be forever grateful. Raymond John Gibbs. Your's in trust, take care.
Looking For Wartime Friend
Hi, I am looking for a Mrs H. Higbee ( Claire) who was friends with my grandfather during the Second World War. Based on the info I have, she must have working in one of the USO clubs. Her address was 2 Aden Grove, Green Lanes, N16 Stoke Newington, London. Any advice to help me find her would be greatly appriciated. My grandfather has passed away and I would like to hear about his time in wartime London. Thanks, Don Morrison
Two Dales
I lived in the house on the right (Hazel House) just before the bakery from 1958-1988. Many memories of there. Anyone with any memories of Two Dales, please don´t hesitate to contact.
Tax Farm, Two Dales
My parents and older sisters Margaret, Cynthia, Brenda and Christine lived at Tax Farm, Two Dales in the late 1930s - early 1940s - surname Taylor. They attended Darley Dale School and have very fond memories of being there.
Two Dales
Lived further down the road in the village, the semi-detached house on the left. The first was occupied by the Bowlers, newsagents, next door the Waterfall Bros. I helped at the farm to the right for a bit of pocket money. The farmer was Jim Topliss, his daughter, Jackie & husband Albert, son Mark. Many happy memories. The village is not the same now the farmyard is now houses, cars parked everywhere, we had the best I'm sure.
Raised by A Village
Born in Bonsall, I never realised how lucky I was. The beauty, freedom to play Cowboys and Indians etc. etc. without restriction, was something I took for granted. Not any more. My family still live in and around Bonsall, while I reside in Canada. My greatest memories are and always will be of Bonsall, a place forever etched on my heart. It's sad that I realized too late how good my life was, but I am grateful for every picture and website I can peruse from far away. If you read this and are a resident of Bonsall, enjoy every minute of it. You are truly blessed to be part of such a fantastic village.
