Nostalgic memories of Freathy's local history

Share your own memories of Freathy 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 the chalet that this photo on the left partly shows, in 1951. The person sunbathing could be me at 13 or 14 years of age. I was Christine Elliott then. The name was 'Lucerne', my great grand parents owned 'San Remo', next door, from about 1938. All the family went there to live in 1940, when their house was bombed in Stonehouse.
