Nostalgic memories of Dallam's local history

Share your own memories of Dallam 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.

We would go over the bridge in dallam go past the old barn and get hens eggs from the next farm , then some spuds from the field. Then boil the eggs in a tin of stream water whilst baking the spuds on a fire we,d made. Then on the way home we would get whatever veg was growing and take them home to mum . Then get some coal spilt from the steam engines by Herbert's farm they were the good days.
I remember cycling across Lyme dam in I think 1963 obviously it was frozen (just about) I could hear the ice cracking, how stupid was that. We were the lads from boulting ave dallam.
