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.

Going For Gas Cinders

i remember being sent to the gas works for what they called gas shiners. they were 2 shillings a bag no matter what size the bag was . my granny used to sew two bags together so as to get more and i had to push them home in a pram that i could hardly see over the top of all the way to newtongreen . |

The Old Sawmill

I remember going down to my Uncle Adam's who stayed at the house near the saw mill bridge, and walking along the river path to what they called the secret works. it was a place where they made stuff for the war effort and was in a secluded part of the woods . Also, we were told not to go near the old sawmill as it was very dangerous, but we still went just the same.
