A Selection of Memories from Biscovey

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Biscovey

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I attended Biscovey School in the 1950s. Larry Martin, Marlene Sutton were in my class. Miss Ellis, Mr Keating and I used to remember our headmasters name...I can see him as plain as day. ...Harold was his first name I think. My name was Eve Cooke. Does anyone out there remember......?
I moved to 12 Edgecombe Terrace in 1965, no 12. We were renting and had just got married. I remember the toilet out the back, my husband had to go out with me with a lantern when it was dark. We lived next door to a Mrs Cowley who kept chickens out back. My mother in law Mrs Jannie Gribbin lived  near by. There was a telephone box on the green opposite where I used to phone my mum in Bristol. I remember parking the car once in the Four Lords car park and being told off by the landlord.
