Hill Ridware In Th 30s
A Memory of Hill Ridware.
I was born in the School House in 1935. In my childhood days I remember spending time at the Smithy, pumping the bellows. Hill Ridware was my first school to which we went by road by the Chadwich Arms, or down a long pathway by the smithy (opposite the Royal Oak). Next to the Cadwich Arms was a farm. We used to watch the cattle come in for milking. My grandfather owned the row of houses opposite the school house and I remember playing with someone called Measley?
We later moved to the Pipie Place Farm at Armitage, which used to be owned by my grandfather. I remember my father being in the ARP during the war.
We used to go to church at Mavesyn Ridware down the lane from Hill Ridware.
