Nostalgic memories of Huntington's local history

Share your own memories of Huntington 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.

It's easy to add your own memories and reconnect with your shared local history. Search for your favourite places and look for the 'Add Your Memory' buttons to begin

Kelly's newsagents and the business next door (out of the picture) was a furniture removal company.
The shop set back from the road was run by the Kelly family in the 1960s. It was a newsagents. My mum and my aunt worked there. I was friends with their eldest daughter Gillian. There was another daughter called Susan and a son called Philip. They were a lovely family.
The building on the left was the Primary School Annexe. It had three classrooms and a large hall and outdoor toilets which were hideous in the winter time. In an attempt to keep the cisterns from icing up, storm lamps were hung up near the chain to give some warmth. Happy days. The head teacher in the 1960s was called Miss Watson and she lived in a detached house next door.
