Avon memories
Elmlea in 1976
I used to teach at Elmlea from the mid 1970s to 1984 and have a photo I took from virtually the same viewpoint in 1976 - in colour! A group of about 8 of us -teachers, classroom assistants and secretary from that era (Mr Hills was the Head) still meet twice a year and remember our days working there very fondly.
Salmon Street
Salmon Street was where I was born, and Kingsdown was where my family lived for at least 140 years. Salmon Street Walk Ler Street never changed that is until the Second World War when we were well and truly bombed. There is so much to say about Kingsdown, too much to put in this small space.
Met my Wife Laura Tilzey at A Dance
I was stationed at RAF Fairford in February 1955. I went to a dance and saw my wife Laura dancing. I knew then and there I had to meet her, so asked her for a dance and from that moment on we became a couple, and a month later I asked her to marry me and she said yes. We were married at the Bristol Registry Office on June 4th, 1955. I was in the US Air Force and after we married we found a place in Cirencester and during my tour of duty at RAF Fairford our family became 4 of us as our 2 eldest sons were born. We left to go back to the States in 1958, but I was back on two more tours of duty in 1959 at Greenham Common, near Newbury, Berks and in 1968 at Alconbury, near Peterborough. We celebrated our 56th anniversary this past June 2011. We lost our 2 eldest sons to heart problems... Read more
Horfield Old Boys
Does any one remember me? My name is Robert Cox. I lived at 47 Sheridan Road right next to the lane that went down to the tip (now built on). I went to Upper Horfield School and I still remember my first day at the school in Miss Heap's class, the music teacher was Mrs Greenslade. I can still recall the smell of freshly picked flowers in their vases at the school in the spring. My next door neighbour on one side was Mrs Smith and on the other side of the lane was Mrs Brown. It was in Mrs Brown's garden that I used to go and pick mint for the Sunday dinner as the bottom of her garden adjoining the tip was full of the stuff. I believe her son visited some times and they had a poodle. I spent most of my time then playing with the Hanhams who lived two doors up, Les and Mike, the parents were called John and Barbara who were good friends with my... Read more

School Days
I never thought that I would see this building, then an office for the civil service, returned to be residential! I believe the family who once ran this hotel now live in Exeter. If they read this I would love to hear their stories.
Pictures of The Suspension Bridge And Clifton College
I was recently given a copy of your delightful book - 'Around Bristol'. I was born just outside Bristol - my parents and brothers survived being bombed in their house in Clifton (I have some pictures) - and lived in Clifton from 1946 to 1969. A couple of pieces of additional information about pictures in the book. Page 69 - Clifton suspension bridge. Buses and commercial vehicles were not allowed over the bridge due to weight restrictions. However, Clifton College had a special dispensation to take specially lightened school buses over the bridge to go to their playing fields at Beggars Bush. I believe that the bus shown was a pre-war (192?) Thorneycroft which was withdrawn from service in the late 1950s - very uncomfortable as the springs had come through the horsehair upholstery! Page 75 - Clifton College. The difference between the 2 pictures - 1887 and 1901 - is the appearance of the square tower between the end of the library and the... Read more
