Nostalgic memories of Great Clifton's local history

Share your own memories of Great Clifton 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 mum, Georgina Saville, was born in Gt Clifton on Dec 23rd 1923, she lived in William Street. She is now 90 years old with severe alzheimers. I can remember going there every Easter and staying with my grandmother Riuth Owens. I still have a aunty Margaret who still lives in Gt Clifton.
Great Clifton was a great village as a child. I'm only 16 now but I think it's great to learn about its history.
I remember my first job was on Low Lodge Farm. We had to milk the cows and the milk went into 10 gallon churns which we had to wheel up to the top of the yard and lift onto the milk stand for the wagon to pick up. I was 15 at the time and those churns seemed like they weighed a ton. The farm has gone now, and four house are in its place.
