My husband and I were both born in Marlborough. My husband is Peter Long and I believe he went to Grammar School with Julian West whose family owned the tea rooms. We both remember the fire as it was the year we were married; and that afterwards the Mop Fairs held in October had to re-position itself to accommodate fire engine access should another fire happen. I worked in Rawlings and Phillips corn merchants ...see more

I remember going to school, at Gad's Hill Place (Dickens House). It was for girls only and the class was ten of us, not like now! In the gardens they grew veg and fruit, the school had their own gardener who as I remember was quite grumpy - but no wonder with all us girlies!
I am interested to find the reason for Hector Webb being on this memorial. Hector was born in Potterspury, Towcester, Northants and does not appear to be related to my family who I have traced back to Moreton Morrell and Kineton starting in 1790. Was it a co-incidence and Hector was employed in the village? Any help would be appreciated.

Are my memories correct I wonder? We lived on the RAF base at ...see more

As a lad I can remember walking with `our gang` across from the High Street side of the ponds, under North Street bridge & walking out under the chain on the West Street end on the other side of the war memorial. We went there through most of that summer looking for newts & frogs. We also walked down under the bridge that led to the mill pool via the waterfall. Anyone else remember doing this as I can remember there were other kids doing what we were doing?

I have hundreds of happy of memories of Penysarn, the village in which I was born and lived until I was 17.

It was eight o'clock in the morning when we were to wake ...see more
