The Hough
when I was about a year old I moved to the Hough from Englesea Brook, where my parents lived for a couple of years. I went to school at Shavington and was good friends with John Addison, Alan Giller (the latter living next door for a while until his folks moved to Wistaston. They returned to Shavington years later. The local lads' playground was Hough Common, building dens, climbing trees and cooking baked potatoes in the wood on campfires we made. Also scrumping pears off Lizzie Brookshaw's orchard. Now Lizzie reckoned she owned the common and there was a bit of good-natured cheek on our part as we would scrump the pears or knock on her door and one day she cornered some of us up a tree, wielding a big stick at us. We didn't think anything of it then but today seems to be a lot more paranoid and neurotic. She used to have a chap who came to a small caravan in her orchard at weekends and he... Read more
Shavington Secondary Modern School
I started my secondary school education at what is now Rope Lane School when it first opened in approximately 1956. I have great memories of my time there and made some great freinds. The teachers were also great and some that I remember are: Mr Williams, Mrs Stone, Mr Hesketh, Mr Griffiths, Miss Scott, Miss Dixon, and Mr Sadler. Although I lived in Shavington for a few years I can't remember a graveyard there. Can anyone help?
Haslington Village Post Office
My Grandparents ran the post office in Haslington for many years (not sure how many exactly). Their names were Harry and Connie Jones, they built the business up from nothing and delivered newspapers, ran the post office and made their own ice cream which my mum always said people came from miles to buy. They were always up at 5 o'clock in the morning sorting out the newspapers and delivering them as well as running the post office. They had three children, Nancy, Bob and Dorothy, they were all brought up in the village and helped in the shop, and knew everyone in the village with living at the Post Office. Of course the village was a lot smaller then. Across the road from the Post Office, on the corner, was a Smithy, where I can remember horses being shod and the sound of the anvil as they put the shoes on the horses.
Harmel House, High Street, Haslington. And Castleigh House
I am researching my Sims-Hilditch family tree. Does anyone remember Edwin Sims Hilditch at Castleigh, Haslington around 1931? And at Harmel House, High Street, Haslington around 1946? Are they on the Frith photos?
Edwin's and Ada's (nee Knott) son Tom Sims Hilditch's name appears on the Haslington war memorial. I believe his boat was torpedoed in 1941 - can anyone tell me more?
Good Old Days..
I lived in Haslington from 1943 to approximately 1954, it was a great place for a child to grow up. I lived in Cross Rd and my G'ma lived in Fields Rd. I remember the Post Office and Haberdashery next to it, also the Smithy across the road. I could be gone across the fields all day and my family would not have to worry about me. The golf course and surrounding fields were a great place to be, with the stream down below. We were warned not to go to the Dingle when the gypsies were camping there, and I remember the gypsy women coming door to door selling wooden clothes pins etc. I used to go to Sunday School and church regularly, I was also in the Brownies at Crewe Green. I have many fond memories of Haslington and Haslington Primary School. I live in the US now but come home every year and still come to Haslington to see some oldies but goodies!!
Mr Dovey Newsagent
I was born and lived in Alsager for over 40 years and remember Bank corner. I was a newspaper boy for Mr Dovey. Also have a sepia photo of Hancocks store which I also recall quite well as a young boy.
Just Fields
There was never a housing estate in those days so everyone was able to walk to school across the open fields. There was also a farm situated near the junction of Sandbach Road North and Lodge Road
