All Saints School Eatoughs Newbridge High King Edward 7th Grammaretc

A Memory of Coalville.

My name is Ann ( Nee Barber) and I was born in Coalville 1956 - attended All Saints C of E primary and above schools. I bought my first record at the market, it was 'Here Comes My Baby' by the Tremeloes. I went to work at Eatoughs before marrying at 17 years old and moving to Manchester. The photos on this site have truly brought many happy memories flooding back.. and I would love to see any more that you as a reader might have. I loved the 'old' Coalville and the friendliness and warmth of its residents. I remember the yearly parade, the ice-cream van being pulled by a pony, the rag and bone man, "me duck", Ravenstone church garden fete. I lived on Ashby Road and loved the blossom trees near Hoo Ash and go-karting down the hill ... with no brakes!
