Nostalgic memories of Grateley's local history

Share your own memories of Grateley 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, George & Violet Cheney apparently owned a bungalow named 'Little Gem' in Palestine. I have very vague memories of staying there as a very young child and collecting eggs and picking blackberries. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers anything about the bungalow or my grandparents.
My gran and grandad, Elsie and Jim Harman, lived at 4 The High Street.  My earliest memories are of, strangely, the moss-covered footpath that encircled the cottage on three sides, it was how pathways in old cottages should be!  I also have fond memories of hot summer lunchtimes playing outside The Plough while the adult members of the family partook of a beverage or ....?  My father attended the school for a few years and my grandfather worked for Shearings until his retirement.
