Nostalgic memories of Garrigill's local history

Share your own memories of Garrigill 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.

My grandparents, William and Jane Herdman, lived in the village for many years, as did my great uncles and aunts. My mother was a pupil at the local school in the village. We went there in all sorts of weather for years. I remember walking for miles and almost being trampled to death buy a heard of cows off to be milked.
