Nostalgic memories of Chacewater's local history

Share your own memories of Chacewater and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

George Jory from Chacewater went to NZ in 1873, and married Jane Bowie of Edinburgh there, they had 4 children including my mother, so he is my great-grandfather. He was from a wrestling family, who were also brewers. My mother remembers that a whole beast (cow?) was said to have been put into the stout? in the brewery. One of his brothers went to South Africa. I wondered if there were any Jorys still living around Chacewater.
