My family (name of Marsh) evacuated to Woolavington to escape the continual bombing of London. We lived in 2, Church Street and my aunt and her family lived in No 1. At the vicarage, which I believe was just over the road from our house, there were two young boys whom my parents spoke of as 'the evacuees' which seemed strange... [more]

Somerset memories
My husband and I had many a happy day fishing in Merry Lane. Well, he fished and I read a book! We stayed in a caravan in the field at the last farm down the end of Merry Lane. One holiday we arrived early and parked our caravan and had a sleep. We awoke to the caravan wobbling about. On... [more]

We used to park our caravan in the last field along the lane, near the River Brue. One holiday we arrived in the early morning and just parked up in the field. We were awakened by our caravan rocking and looked out to see the cows coming in for their milking. We had parked where they usually walked 'home' and... [more]

We moved there when I was about 3 years old, and lived in a detached house adjacent to the Lido. I recall doing the "Inaugural Plunge" in front of Princess Alexandra......who presented me with...

It's not really a memory I have of this picture, but my 1956 Ford Popular was supplied by the Ford Dealership, A & S White of 37 St. Mary Street, seen on the right in this picture. Now apparently a Weatherspoons Pub.

We spent many a happy holiday in the Bridgwater area, sometimes staying on a farm just outside Bridgwater and in later years in a flat in the holiday village in nearby Burnham on Sea. Many wonderful memories of my dead parents and dogs!

Glastonbury Photographic Memories
To reach our final village, Pilton, we must leave our straight route at East Pennard and travel almost due north for a couple of miles or so. Pilton is a large but quite dispersed village beside the Glastonbury to Shepton Mallet road, and we are now some six miles from the former. The parish church, dedicated to St John the Baptist, developed from the Norman period onward through the Middle... [more]

Glastonbury Photographic Memories
An intriguing photograph - are the men beside the pile of stones carrying out repairs or new construc- tion? It looks as though they may be finishing work on the wall in the foreground, perhaps linked to the new frontage for the main building constructed around this time. The wall was probably demolished when the factory was extended in 1933.

Glastonbury Photographic Memories
Now around to the south-west side of Glastonbury, where Wearyall Hill lies between the town and the river Brue. The name is a corruption of 'Wirral Hill', a deer-park established by the Abbots. This view, from the north, is across country- side, whereas today the foreground is occupied by housing and an industrial estate. The Glastonbury Thorn on the hilltop left of the wood is missing from... [more]
