Nostalgic memories of Lizard's local history

Share your own memories of Lizard 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.

George /Appleton Of Parc Braws

I have since discovered that Dr George was my great great grandfather. His son, George David A went to school in Helston and by the age of 16 he was in Australia - has anyone any knowledge of him? On his return he and his wife lived seperate lives at different addresses in Penzance - 2 of his daughters lived at Parc Braws with Tom Appleton. I would love to know more about his family.....
