Nostalgic memories of Dutton's local history

Share your own memories of Dutton 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.

I was born in 1954 and my parents June and Fred Arnold moved into railway cottages shortly after. They renamed the cottage Kadivi Cottage after myself, sister and brother were born (Diane, Karen and Vincent). It still has the name today. They remained in the cottage for 40 years. I used to go up to the shop daily for my mum (I used to annoy a dog in a pen in the shop garden). My mum and myself worked at Dutton hospital, and moved to Halton General when it was built.
I broke down in the tunnel in the early 1970s, my kids thought it was great pushing us out off the tunnel wall, they were realy black at the end. I made sure it didn't happen going back!
