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 remember the Jowett car site becoming International Harvesters who made tractors and I went to work there in 1966 in the time study office. They were good tractors and it's a shame they stopped producing them. My son still has a model of one of the tractors so it could be valuable in a few years. Now the site has Morrisons supermarket.
All good memories of growing up at 22 Willowfield Crescent , building bonfires with other kids from crescent. Going to Swainhouse school and catching a trolley bus outside the pub at Five Lane Ends. Remember the old Jowett factory which if i remember right started making tractors. I was taken to see Gunfight at the OK Corral at the picture house.
