Nostalgic memories of Eaton Dovedale's local history

Share your own memories of Eaton Dovedale 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.

Dove Dale

This is not Dove Holes unless that is actually the name of the caves. However, I have walked this path with my parents many years ago when I was maybe about nine years of age. I did go in the cave too. I know it was before the war. We had a picnic beside the river ....... potted meat sandwiches come to mind. Dorothy Bonfield Queensland, Australia.

A Hard Life

My Great Great Aunt Annie Bennington, like her mother before her, carried refreshments and postcards to sell from Milldale down to Reynards Cave. She also fixed the rope from the cave and visitors paid for it's use in helping them up and down the steep climb. She is the lady with her back to the camera in this photo.
