Share your own memories of Glapwell 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 am researching old Glapwell and saw Ian Mellows memory (posted 2009) of the meadow sledging in winter. I don't clearly recall the name, was it Parson's Field? But I do recall sledging there - closer to Bramley Vale than Glapwell perhaps. Nice to see. Wonder if anyone has photos of Glapwell Carnival in the 1950s? I would be interested. Thanks.
I was born in 1946 and moved to Glappy when I was 3. Does anyone else remember the snow, the ice on the inside of the bathroom window, and who can name the three most popular sledging tracks down the rough meadows?
