Cambridgeshire memories
Growing up in Graveley.
I'm the youngest daughter of Lou and Vera Crook. Graveley, a great place to grow up. We knew everybody, and would lie in bed and count the people who lived there. I hope it will always maintain its British charm and the pub. Attending school with Mrs. Barton, such wonderful memories.
My Great-Grandfather The Papermill Manager
My great-grandfather Ogilvie Bricknall was the manager of this mill at the turn of the century. He was a great papermaker and had moved to St Neots with his family from Longforgan in Perthshire. His son James was assistant manager in 1911 and the mill employed his two daughters as clerks.
I Attended Here in The Late 50s And Early 60s
I remember St Marys when Mr Naylor if im right was the headmaster when i left to go to Longsands in 1962. At easter and Christmas we use to go to St Marys church opposite for services. There was some prefab classrooms at the back and you still had ink and milk monitors, i cannot remember the name of the teachers so if any one can please add them to this memory. Many thanks David Matzk age 56.
St Neots Paper Mill, Wartime
My grandfather, Charles Lawrence, was manager of the St Neots paper mill during much of the 1940s. He formerly worked at the Dover mill and brought a great many workers from there to St Neots in (I believe) 1939. While at St Neots, he and my grandmother resided in a lovely house on the banks of the Ouse in Eynesbury where, during the war, various members of their family also dwelt. Me too. I was born in the house in 1943.
Michells Boutique
My first job as a 15year old was a sales assistant in a newly opened boutique just off Market Place. The shop was 'Michelles' and it had one foot in the fashion world where corsets abounded and the other in the exciting mini skirted fashion trend. There were two side windows that were often 'dressed' to appeal to holidaymakers walking up from the boat moorings. Roger and Pauline Wilkinson were the owners and the shop was opposite the Electricity Board Showrooms. I used to bike from Little Paxton to get to work, across the common. I would love to know what happened to the Wilkinsons as I lost touch when I moved from the area I do know that they had a son not too many years after I left in 1968 I believe. Happy days!
I Was Eight And Fishing And You Caught Me!
Surprisingly I remember a man setting up the tripod to take this, a short time before I had seen the same process under taken for the school photos. I wondered what he was photographing. I wasn't allowed to go over the Chinese Bridge as the water was deep over there. It's shallow by the causeway but very smelly as I found out when I fell off my bike and into it, Mum made me undress in the back yard of 4c New Street before going in for a bath. Mr Thomson, a lovely old chap, had the sweet shop behind me in the picture and his wife (name ?) had the shop next door called Townsends, were they married??
St Ann's Lane / Black Bull Pub
Hi, I'm trying to find some people: Doris May Fisher born 1910 and Harry William Fisher born 1913, both born at St Ann's Lane, Godmanchester. Their parents were Harry William Fisher and Gertrude Church. Harry William senior died in 1932. Apparently the last address for Harry junior was Cambridge Villas, also someone told me Harry junior was hit by a police car after leaving the Black Bull pub and killed, does this ring any bell? Any info please get in touch.
