Woodthorpe
I lived in Woodthorpe when I was a child, we lived at no 20 Woodthorpe Rd, the bungalow across from where Mr Hodgkinson's farm was, my dad built the house in 1967.
Derbyshire memories
First in
When we moved to Mastin Moor half of the houses were not finished, we still had a dozzer in the back garden.
Childhood
I went to live in Huddersfield in 1964, having been in Poolsbrook fom being born in 1944. I went to school with Ann West, Mavis Bannister, Margo Frost and Barbara Budworth. We had happy times. Doing all the things that girls do. I would like to be able to contact them, but don't have their married names !!
Bolsover Church
I served part of my carpentry and joinery apprentice with Jack Brown [Bolsover] and C E Gaunt [Chesterfield]. When the church burnt down C E Gaunt rebuilt it - what a fantastic job - but in those days no videos so does anyone have any pictures of the rebuilding as I also worked on the crooked spire after that fire.
Anyone Know of A Francis Evans
I am doing my family tree. Francis Evans was my great-great-grandfather, he was born around 1802 and married a Hannah in 1828, they lived in Staveley until he died in 1876. I am trying to find out my great-great-grandmother's maiden name Hannah ..?, Francis Evans's wife, they had a daughter called Hannah also, she was born 1830/31 and married a George Bates in Staveley, he was my great-grandfather. If anyone knows of any information of the Evans/Bates family it would be appreciated. I do have lots of information about the Bates family, but Hannah who married Francis is a puzzle to me. Thanks, Christine
Smiths Army Uniform Factory
Just wondering if there is anyone out there who used to work in this factory? I got a job there in 1970 aged 15, I used to work on a felling machine and I loved it. I used to sit and sew all the side seams on this twin needle machine. Is the factory still there and where was it exactly?
Bolsover Castle
I remember I used to visit this castle sometimes and I remember digging a small hole in the mortar and putting a penny in, then covering it back up. I did intend to go back years later to see if it was still there but somehow never got round to it. I lived in Renishaw at the time and moved away in 1971 to Tyneside where I still live. I am comming back in the summer to do a nostalgia trip.
