War Memorials

A special selection of photographs from our Archive of the War Memorials that connect us with those who fought and perished in the conflicts that have shaped the world we live in today. "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them."- Laurence Binyon, For The Fallen

I remember staying here in 1959/1960 where my friend Mig had moved to. I lost touch and would love to know about her. We had a wonderful holiday together in Perranporth Cornwall. We actually got lost one night and were so relieved when we found our way back to the Golf Club where we were staying in a log cabin.We worked together briefly at the Economist 1959-1960. If she is reading this or anyone that knew her I'd love to know.. I think they moved away to London sometime.
ANY ONE REMEMBER THE TRANSPORT CAFE IN LONDON ROAD,ALSO THE CANNING FACTORY,A NORA ELLIS WORKED THERE FOR MANY YEARS,AND I WORKED AT THE CANNING FACTORY IN THE 50 S,ANY BODY ELSE WORK THERE?MAYBE I MIGHT REMEMBER,
I remember this building being Handscombes Ironmongers. And one end of it being a pram shop in the early 80's I think . I bought my parents their 25th wedding anniversary present in Handscombes... a dinner service in a Poppy design. Full service with tureens etc only cost £24.99! This was in 1978. They held their party at the Bell in Stanstead.
