Worcestershire memories
Via Pershore
Our grandparents live in Chipping Campden. When we lived in Worcester we would drive through Pershore on the way there. As a young child I used to acknowledge the little flags which were hung on string in between the buildings on either side of the high street.
RAF Camp Pershore
I lived in Pershore in the 1950s as my dad was based at the RAF camp there. I went to Pershore Infants then the Junior School. Headmaster was Mr. Goodyear. The school was near the Abbey - I remember it well!
Hall And Ballard Families of Pershore
My great great grandfather Henry Hall was born in Fladbury 1836. He married Mary Ellen Ballard, born Netherton 1837. Henry had 2 siblings, mary bn 1840 and Edwin bn 1851; Ellen had 4 sibs, Thomas bn 1828, Will bn 1830, Eliza 1832, Joseph 1840. Her father Thomas Ballard married Mary Weston at Cropthorne in 1821
Henry and Ellen had 10 children, the oldest, Fred, being my Great grandfather. Fred started as a labourer at Masons farm Castlemorton, but became a self-employed grower and haulier in Newland, Malvern. His siblings were Henry, Roscine, Eliza, Arthur, Bertha, Charles, Frances, Herbert, Ethel.

Even though I was away from my mum and dad I had some happy memories of my time there, I loved the country and all that went with it. I was horse crazy and used to save all my money to go riding at a local horse riding school that from my memory was not far from the old Post Office. I have a photo of me on my favourite horse, Polo was his name, and I still have one of his shoes that was given to me for a keepsake. I went to school for those six months in Pershore. It was in winter time and I can remember waiting for the bus and it was dark. I can remember there was a farmer that used to drive his sheep down... Read more
My Dingley Family
My mother who is 93 this year and very much alive and kicking is descended from the Cropthorne Dingleys. She spent much of her early childhood and teenage years before ww2 with her family in Cropthorne. She has such vivid memories of the area and even remembers many names of the local people. If anyone knows how her anecdotal history might somehow be archived, please do let me know.
