School House
I have been to visit the old school house in Maltby le Marsh which was a charity school, run by Cornelius Binks. He was my Great great great grandfather. I know somewhere out there there is a photograph of him with his wife and the children at the school, I would be very interested if anyone has a copy of this as I only have a photocopy kindly given to me by the present owner.
Ancestors
While doing my family tree I have come across births of my ancestors in Maltby le Marsh, Mary Skinn born 1856 son of John Skinn who married Elizabeth Rylott at the Parish Church on 23rd March 1852. John's parents were James Skinn born 1771 in Strubby and Elizabeth Bullivant. I am looking for any information on this family. CAN YOU HELP? Mark Skinn markskinndog@aol.com
Calceby ... my Soul Mate.
Calceby... I came to live here in 1947, not a country girl by birth, having lived in Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, for the first fourteen years of my life. This hamlet was to become my home for the next three years, isolated and buried in the heart of the wolds. I came to know every part of the landscape, and walking very soon became my hobby. My interest in history became larger than life because here I was surrounded with evidence of a long forgotten past.
The ruined St Andrews Church on the top of the hill was my playground, and most days I would spend my time exploring every nook and cranny, and under the turf surrounding the walls lay the inhabitants, what a wealth of stories they could have told me of the lives and deaths of this small and unobtrusive village.
The Black Death was soon to come and desolate the population, leaving it
ruined and abandoned. The once village now became a hamlet, and... Read more
Holidays With The Family
I remember as a child in the early to mid 1960's taking many family holidays here in these wonderful bungalows. We spent many a day when it was raining playing Dominoes or Ludo as a family. My elder brother used to catch eels in the dyke that ran alongside of this place. I was very squeamish when he returned with them, thankfully they were never served up for tea. I have happy memories of going on holiday here from Sutton in Ashfield. They were wonderful times and I have a couple of photos that I will load up if I can. I have no idea what has happened to these bungalows now. Any ideas? Please let me know. Thank You Gina X
Happy Days
Since a very early age of about 4 I can rember very very happy happy thoughts about Trustville Holiday Camp. All of my family went there in June every year, in total there were about twenty of us. I can even tell you most of the chalets that we stayed in. First thing in a morning we would go and get our fresh bread from the house over the road, now since moved to a shop in the town, then off for a full fun-packed day of events that was all ready mapped out for us by the staff at the camp.
I myself loved the sports days, I never won but I loved it, swimming gala, never won but I did try, next best memory was the day the horses came to camp, for a ittle payment you could ride a horse for ages, oh oh happy days. Then I used to love the night time, you would have tea early or when you went out you would not... Read more
Radio Bungalows in The Early 1970s
Looking on the website makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck, what great memories I have of stopping at the radio bungalows! And being chased by the swans at the nearby dyke on your way up to the seafront over the bridge, in fact the sea noise only hit you when as you got to the top of the steps. I remember Dad taking us to Skegness, banger racing in the evening, and getting fish and chips on the way home (the banger racing is still going to day). And I remember walking down to Mablethorpe amusements via the seafront. All in all great memories, that good in fact that I returned to Trusthorpe with my son in 2008 on a camping trip and to go down memory lane! But it isn't the same, you cannot expect it to be I suppose, or maybe I was looking for something else.
Memories of Trustville
I remember going to the chip shop just across the road, opposite the entrance to the camp, also fishing for eels in the nearby sluice. We would also enter the sand castle competition on the beach. We used to travel to Mablethorpe by train and then get picked up by a special bus up to Trustville.
