Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I am researching and writing about Lee Priory, its past and present... if anybody has any memories, stories or general nostalgia for the area, I'd be interested to hear from you.
Many thanks.
My Late father John Laidler and his sister Anita Laidler are in this picture .They lived at the time in Nargate street, Brewery Cottages before moving to Garrington Farm. wonderful memories my dad shared with me, long summer days were spent in the river, raft building, and as you can see - the rope swing, Very carefree and happy times, he remembered this picture being taken and also remembers Sadie being there .
My mother Ruth Hadlow lived at number 5 (even though it was the first cottage - should be number 1) memories of visiting my grandad there until he moved in the late eighties.
The house next door used to be the old police house, the Petmans lived there in the 60s, he kept eels and trout in his waterbutt, much to my amusment as a child.
Used to steal my uncles fishing tackle from the shed at the rear ...see more
