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.

For a time, my best school friend in Gomersal County Primary School was Colin Chapman. He lived at the children’s home in Little Gomersal. He had a walking impediment and wore a steel leg brace on one leg. At a certain point in the time I was at the school (1953-59), he suddenly disappeared from my life and I have since wondered often about what happened to him and how his life turned out. If anyone has any information about this person I’d be very grateful to receive it 🙏
Will the guy who was in this home in the early 1940's please get back in touch with me regarding the photographs he said he had as I lost contact details. Thanks in anticipation.
During the early 1940s I was placed in care with my older brother, John, in a care home in Gomersal. I have very vivid memories of the home but have been unable to locate exactly where it was. Can anybody remember anything about this care home. Any information would be gratefully received.
