Reconnecting with our shared local history.
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.

I was a Pritchard then, big sis to Wayne, Nick and Sian. Nick was my little brother and Sian (my sister's best friend) I loved him from bottom the bottom of my heart and miss him so much . Thank you to my late mum who made me and the others who we are today! Thanks x
This was a year that the war finished, my sister and I had not long returned home from Nottingham having been evacuated to avoid the V 2"s. I remember that tables had been set up in the middle of the street and food appeared from everywhere not sure where it came, from but it was more food than we had ever seen. There was a piano playing and everybody was dancing, I remember there was a row and nearly a ...see more
I grew up in Noggsy during the 70s 80s - Glassonby Cres, Rushmere Rd, Lewisham. All the places we could of been, Norris Green was the best. St Tessys School vs Welly Broard Sq vs every one else. We overcame addiction crocky too. Was a shame they all sniffed glue. Played in the street, played in the park even when it went dark. Went to West Derby on the bounce. Jimmy and Fozzer tried to pounce. Now am in the wooly land things have slowed down ill never miss my Norris Green crown.
I have great memories of Methilhill. We lived in Perth but my Gran Cormack lived at 147 Simon Crescent on the main road. We used to stay with her during the summer holidays. Those were the days when you knew you were in Fife becuase the buses were red, not like the Stagecoach colours nowadays. Daisy Park was a great haunt and we spent many days and evenings playing there. That chute had to be one of the ...see more
We lived here for 3 years when my husband was stationed at Tidworth. Nice memories of a very funny old army quarter. I remember locally we army wives called them Coronation Street.
The building on the right of the picture is Hope Congregational Church (at one time known as Hope Chapel). Next to it, behind the trees, is the old Sunday School which was part of the church. In the middle distance is the old Denton Police Station, now converted into flats.
On the opposite side of the road is Bevan's Hat Works. Hat manufacturing was the main industry in Denton for many years and which has a very ...see more
This is the first time that I have seen what the old hospital looked like since leaving in 1969. I loved my days working at the hospital as a young nurse. The nurses home was to the right of this picture and some of the matrons offices were to the right. Happy days and happy memories.
I remember when I was nursing at Ashford, Hothfield and Willesborough hospitals. We use to have to go to the Warren for some lessons. I can still remember my shock at seeing rows of `Iron Lungs` that were no longer in use. Also seeing the mortuary which was so tiny and had just wooden slates for the bodies. The house was beautiful and I remember how grand it all seemed way back then.
Having been born in Ann Street in 1962, my memories of the surrounding area are quite vivid, including Waddles Foundry; the metal beating from the works would often wake me in the morning. It was on land just behind the Bull pub, close to Waddles, that I have one of my earliest memories. The fair had arrived and my mother put me on a ride with Nobby Horse, he was the local paper boy, probably aged around 40 ...see more
I was born near the end of the war in a house in Loring Road, Isleworth. My aunts, uncles & grandparents all lived in and around Isleworth. My father worked in the Pears Soap factory and my brothers & I all went to the Woodlands School and another brother to the Blue School, I used to run & play with my cousin, Frances Murdoch, on the old lock & weir down at the Thames River & on ...see more
I have fond memories of Overstrand, holidaying as children at my aunt, Kate and uncle, Reg Harvey in Thurst Rd - the bungalow at the bottom of the road. My aunt used to ask myself and my sister to fetch a block of ice cream from the cafe. She would divide it and always end up with the biggest bit. I also remember my aunt fetching crabs from Mr Davies in a special crab basket - I think they cost 2/6d - about ...see more
I spent a very happy childhood - my father was a licensed victualler of Ye Olde Bulls Head on the bridge until he retired in 1949. I went to the local school - my teachers were Miss Pratt & Mrs Jefferies- the Headmaster was "Boss Cook" followed by Mr Muncaster. Each week we attended Sunday School with Rev Turner, and Miss Hunt played the organ at services (having parked her "sit up and ...see more
Moved to Hall Road Leyton, Schools, CANHALL ROAD, LAKEHOUSE SECONDARY SCHOOL,. Mates included: David Connelly, Michael Crabb, John Peak, Raymond Ellis.Joined 7th of Leyton Boyscouts 1960. Remember playing Isle of Ponds, Eaton Mannor Tip,Ride Motor Bikes to Southend with David Connelly, John Peak.
My husband and I were married at St Margaret's Church in January 1970, we were married by the REV ROXBOUGH, he was a very gentle man and he and his wife moved to Devon in the 80s or there abouts. We went back to the church on our 25th wedding anniversary to look around and were lucky enough to get into the church, and the then Vicar gave us a blessing on our vows - so unexpected but ...see more
Went to Eastbury School, Dawson Ave. Was friends with Joan Petchey, Jane Peterson, Joan Palmer, Wendy Roberts, Doreen Spooner, Janice Bridgeman,Linda Etty, Heather Saint. Now live on Canvey Island as do Doreen and Linda. Heather and I used to live next door to each other and now we live a few streets away from each other. Remember going to the Odeon Saturday pictures, dancing at the Ilford Pali ...see more
I remember a van that came from the Bildeston fish and chip shop that used to park up in my Granddad's yard in Whatfield.
No memory, just that I was born in Nether Edge hospital in 1955.
I have enjoyed summers at Coolham House from 1991 until 2012. The structures have changed very little in decades. The wildlife is wonderful: deer, foxes, pheasants, a pair of white owls, robins, thrushes, martins, woodpeckers, and wonderful butterflies grace the land. I'd love to hear what it was like long ago.
I was evacuated to Bedford during the second "Blitz" of WW II. This was the time when London was being attacked by the notorious V weapons, the Buzz Bomb and the rockets. My aunt lived in what is now Melbourne Street, but I think it was called something different then. It was down from Ampthill Street where it crossed the line to the Midland station.
I remember going to the Granada Saturday morning picture ...see more
Like a previous memory, I came across the Temple Bar in Theobald's Park in Hertfordshire. At first sight, I wondered what a great reproduction it was of the original Temple Bar from the Strand. But it was the real thing, taken down because of a road widening. Years later, I came across yet another copy or reproduction in the Italianate Square just off St. Pauls, only to find that again, it was the real thing, now ...see more
My great aunt, Miss Olive Howlett moved to Troutstream Hall around 1955. She retired as matron of St Columba Hospital ,St Johns Wood, and together with Miss Eva Birchett opened a home for the aged (then for females only). Whether they were the founders of the Troutstream Hall Trust or were merely employed by the trust I can't remember. Prior to this the house had been a private hotel. The ...see more
Hi ,
Does anybody have memories of Skeffington Road, East Ham?
My Mam lived at number 18 untill she joined the forces in the war and then moved up North when she married in 1946. The family name was Jarvis and my mam was called Florence [ Dolly or Doris ].
I remember them well, especially a teacher called Naison ( think that's the spelling)
Nasty wicked man almost drowned except for a good friend called Brent Pounds.
Out of school hours and good weather it was one of the best places for a lot of people to meet up.
Another GBC wrong decision to destroy one of the great things about Gosport.
Still the same, Gosport sadly has gone downhill.
Nothing for young people to do,very sad :0(
I started at Wyggeston Girls School in 1949 and Miss Pedley was the scourge of the lower school, the higher school and the mistresses then. I left in 1954 and have never been back but I have looked at it on Google Earth and it looks very much the same. The privet hedge on Regent Road was planted when I was at the school and there were no gates so anyone could come and go as they pleased. Not so now, I believe.
I remember the first supermarket opening in New Hey Road, don't know the exact year but was about 1958. I went to the opening with my mum and they had a competition to guess the weight of a chicken. My mum had guessed the correct weight and won a pan!
My name was Pamela Tyler and I lived in Ferny Brow Road. I went to Fender Primary School and Woodchurch Secondary Modern school. I now live in Scotland but I have very happy memories of the Woodchurch Estate.
I remember you Dennis Falvey, my name is Mavis Smith (now Andress). I remember going to the village hall dance which I think was each week, and I think your cousin was there and myself and Barbara Tallett kept going back into the hall to see him! Those were wonderful days. I think the guys that held the dance night had a record player, that's all!!! How strange! How we have advanced in that ...see more
I am looking for anyone who went to the Wintergardens dances on a Friday night or even St Lukes dance on a Saturday night between 1964 to 1967. they were great places to listen to live groups and meet new friends. I did work at Coronation park and the Pioneer laundry. If you remember these places please get in contact.
Regards
Jeff Gilford
I remember visiting the Ovaltine Dairy Farm as a child & into my teenage years, my uncle worked on the farm. My uncle & aunt Charlie & Mary Jones & their family lived in the right hand cottage in the photo, until he retired as far as I remember.
I remember playing games in a field and at 6.45 in the evening someone would shout
"Dick Barton is on" and everything was left where it was and everybody disappeared and
returned just after 7PM.
In the winter, sledging down Draycott Hill.
Walking on a Sunday with my mother and father up Draycott Hill to Batsford, up the hill, along the top of the hill to the Bourton, to Blockley Road, down into Blockley where we stopped for a drink at the Railway Inn and then walked home to Draycott.
It was here in the cottage known as Devonian that I made my first appearance. Mum tells me I was the first 'National Health' child to be born in the village.
My memory of Hartest, a place that is very dear to me, relates to the period between moving down from Somerton in 1945 and living there until I moved to Hadleigh in 1970 for my work.
As an Evacuee, together with my brothers Malcolm and Laurence and my Cousins Betty and Jaqueline Wiles and our respective mothers, we were evacuated from London's East End in April 1941, having been bombed out in the ...see more
I will always remember it as in photo, happy days
We lived briefly in Ferndale Crescent (nr 35). This was defined as Uxbridge then but the boundaries were never quite clear and have become even more blurred with the march of time. It must have been around '57 when we moved in and the same year I think was the Grand Opening of a petrol station on Cowley Rd, on the Uxbridge end of the crescent. It only had 2 petrol pumps. I remember the banners and flags across the ...see more
The picture, named The Parade, fails to identify The Parade. The window blinds that can be seen through the foliage to the left is where The Parade actually is. It's a short piece of road that held four shops, the first a sweet shop, then a grocer who's name was Hugget, there were two boys Ernie and Maurice and one girl Hilda. Next came a grocer by the name of Kemp, a tall thin man wih a small thin wife; ...see more
The queue of people waiting to the left of the picture would have been waiting for the trolley bus which ran from the terminal at the bottom of the high street (on the opposite side from The Odeon and a bit further down). The post in this photo is definitely a trolley line post and odd that the wires cannot be seen in this picture unless the focus wasn't sharp enough, alternatively that the date for this photo is ...see more
Chapel Road. The Ebenezer Chapel towards Outwood on the right is where the name was derived from. The Ebenezer Chapel was the most important building in that road. In the picture and to the right the road leads to Horley and was either Horley Road or Smallfield Road. Just around that corner there was a bus stop for the 424 bus, it was also where there was a good apple tree that overhang the road. It is where ...see more
Hi, I remember transferring from a seaside town to Cranham, just about the time Ackworth the builders were busy on the Cranham Park Estate. The brickfields were our dens after school, making carts from scrap pieces of timber, axles and pram wheels made it all happen for us. Concrete roads were our runways for excitement, coming down Avon Road at full speed, crossing Front Lane, did we know it had been dangerous? At ...see more
I was born in 1951 and lived for the first 2 years of my life at 241 the Blocks with my parents and Grandparents. This was a 2 up 2 down + attic house in a block of 3 situated on the bottom row of the blocks, now demolished. It had no gas or electric, only a coal fire. The bath and toilet were situated in an outside building referred to as the wash house. Hot water for the bath was provided by a copper ...see more
Hi, Grandad, Alf Bainbridge, had Rogers Farm, by the Tarpots. He had been transferred from Laindon, now called Basildon, by compulsory purchase and enjoyed the smallholding up the lane behind the C W S factory, about the time a steamroller came down the hill and crashed into the lampost finishing in the ditch!
Alf had a flatbed, with Dick the horse between the shafts and used to like a drink of mild at the ...see more
Owen Hughes Roberts was my grandfather, who came to Rhostyllen approx 1900 from Bethesda when the Penrhyn slate quarry workers went on strike for better conditions and a wage rise. He took lodgings in Church Street and a job down the coal mine before branching out on his own running a small shop in High Street.
We moved from Willesden in London to Kingrichards Road, Leicester when I was 5 yrs old in 1965. I went to King Richards Infants with my brother, Wayne. The building I think was something to do with a church, I think, an old chapel or church hall. It was just a couple of mins from our shop, where we lived with our grandparents.
Opposite our shop was Dereks the butchers and either side of our shop was a ...see more
I'm hoping someone visiting this site might remember or have information on my father's family. Oliver Jeffries known as Jeff used to work on the railway goods yard in Hendon and he married Mary Bell in 1930. They lived at 8 St Marys Mansions, St Marys Road, Willesden when one of their daughters Sylvia was born in 1938. Some of the family also lived at 28 Winchelsea Rd, Willesden up to or perhaps ...see more
My name is Lynda Drew (nee Howarth). I remember St Abbs very fondly. In fact I have very great memories of the best holiday I can remember. My father, Stanley Howarth, was stationed at Coldingham with the RAF for a while during the 2nd world war. Mum, Edith, went to join him and they lived at St Abbs, in Rock House, which I know is still there. They made good friends there with a lady called Louie. They used to go ...see more
Hi, my dad, Brian Birchall was brought up in Hulme. He lived on Elvington Street with his mam, Louisa Birchall, dad Robert Birchall, younger brother Joe Birchall (late) and older brother Athony/Tony Birchall whom unfortunately died in world war 2.
Brian and Joe both went to Duke Street School and then City Road School.
I'm just wondering if anybody knew my dad's family?
I was born in 1954 and lived at Park Crescent until I was 18. I went to Holy Trinity School at Sunningdale. Mr Pitts was headmaster and I remember Mr Jenn, Mrs Challis and Mr Williams. My sister Gean used to work with horses at Broomhill Farm, she came to pick me up from school one day on a horse, hauled me up and gave me a lift home (a lovely memory). The school raised enough funds to ...see more
hello, My Grandfather Fredrick Trimmer was born at Idmiston in 1857.
I wonder if there are any Trimmers there now?. He was in Kent in the 1911 census.
I live in Norfolk. I left Kent in 1961.
I worked in the instrument workshops as a draughtsman in the early 70's. Names I recall are: Brian Edwards, Dave Forder, Ron Turnpenny, Dave Clay and Don Burns.
The new fire station was built around the late 60s as I remember going to bonfire nights that the station used to run on the land next to the station My mum also used to cook for the station on a Sunday lunchtime ....
It brought back so many happy memories reading about Aveley, I went to BUSHY Bit school around 1959-64 then it closed and moved to Love lane. I Lived in Myrtle Grove until I got married at Avely Church in 1970. I remember Miss Norman, PE teacher, and Mr Sidebottom my form master. My maiden name was Thomas.
I was born in Ilkley in Sept. 1940, my parents first residing at Ben Rhydding. After my birth we moved to a house in Valley Drive, living next door I recall to a lady called Miss Booth. From our rear garden we could look up towards the Cow and Calf and in later years I climbed these.
We used to collect our milk daily from a farm just down the road, from a farmer called Binns, and I believe ...see more
I was born at Mayday Hospital 1953. I had an older brother, John Read, and sisters, Judith and Gillian. John went to the Catholic school St Peters and Gillian and me went to the convent in Lingfield until we all emigrated to Australia in 1962.
My memories of Croydon were when my sister Gill and me used to go swimming in the summer holidays at the swimming pools by Croydon Market, down the hill. I remember ...see more
Following the death of my mother recently, I have been clearing her home and found a kitbag of my father, Douglas Bellchambers, from his wartime Royal Navy days, full of a range of keepsakes. One of these was an unopened parcel addressed to him in Braintree, Essex from Heasmans Ltd, 4, Broadmark Parade, Rustington, Sussex, which must have been sent between 1945 and 1952, the post mark is ...see more
I have in my possession a copy of the 1911 census for Mountain Ash, which I hope is linked to my late mother's side of the family, anyway here goes:
I want to know if there are any descendants of the following:
GEORGE PRITCHARD born 1871 MANSELL LACY, Herefordshire
SUSAN PRITCHARD born 1883 EARDISLEY, Herefordshire
LILIAN PRITCHARD born 1904 ABERCYNON, Glam
REGINALD PRITCHARD born 1906 MOUNTAIN ASH, ...see more
I also lived at Gurnell Grove from around 1950 to 1961. Have very happy memories about living there. I had a little dog called Trixie who was always with me. Still in touch with some of the people I knew, such as Bobby & Micky Frost and Eddie Browne.
We used to play in the six fields as they were then known, have a fire and roast spuds in it and play tin tan tommy. They were happy days, you could go out or ...see more
If you enlarge this picture you can see the letter ERS on the white building behind St Margarets. This was Suters, a family owned department store, built very much in the art deco style and the retail flagship of Uxbridge High Street. As a small boy all my clothes were purchased there. Shoes too. Purchasing shoes then was not the casual shelf-browsing do-it-yourself process that it is now. You described ...see more
Born Dec. 1924 Dollis Hill Ave, son of E.H.Carter who lived at Crown Terrace. In 1912 he opened his half-shop as a newsagent and tobacconist, joined-up in 1915 and left the running to his sister Florence who eventually lived in Gladstone Park Gardens. I took over in 1950 and became more of a stationer with one eye on the American scene and the new popularity for greeting cards. My memories ...see more
'The Stream' ! We always have called it 'the brook' - Broughton Brook, and still do. However, the brook is in fact a tributary to the River Soar, it may in fact actually be the River Soar but simply not recognised as such until a few miles downstream. Whatever it's status, in the 1930s it provided many children with a source whereby they were able to enjoy hours of pleasurable ...see more
My great great grandfather was the chief coastguard here in 1881-1884, so he would have lived here. I used to visit here numerous times as a child but never knew this fact until I started researching my ancestry. It makes me very proud to see this photo :)
My grandparents moved to Kessingland in 1974 when I was 3, my nan used to take me to the beach in the summer holidays and we ALWAYS went to Ivys shop! We got to know Ivy well, seems such a long time ago now and I miss those old lazy days.
Such a shame that these old memories have died. This photo really did make me reminisce in such a good way :))
My husband's great grandma, Nora Drummond, was born at Castle Howard in 1897, so was her mother, Mary. Not sure of her maiden name yet. Nora's father was George, siblings were Alfred and Margaret Drummond. Thank you, Lisa Brett x
George and his sister Doris came to us in the forties. It was George who told me about this site. We have remained friends ever since and this friendship has most certainly enriched my life.
I remember how several of us children used to walk down Penywern Road to go to Wern School. There were no parents to take us or fetch us. Miss Maddocks was the Headmistress. Likewise, we would go to the cinema. ...see more
I was born at no 1 Ryhope Street and my mother's maiden name was Vose. My grandfather Vose lived on the right hand side in the miners bungalows. I remember the field at the front of the dwellings was one big hole and there were allotments at the bottom of the road. My mum's sister lived at no 1, her surname was Wheeler, her husband was known as Cuddy. I have been back a couple of times over the years but as I was only 2 when we went back south I do not remember too much about that time.
I am not from Blackwater but my great, great Grandfather, John Cranham bought Harthover House in 1854 and lived there with his family for a few years..He was a builder.. i would love to hear from anyone who knew of the family..
My great grandfather, a Henry King, went to the grammar school in Keswick, running away at 16. His family owned a bobbin mill at Braithwaite. Henry later married Elizabethe Kyle. Henry spent his working life as a gardener in various 'big houses' working into his 80s. I would be interested to learn of any other stories of Henry King and family and particularly is there are any photos/information about the mill which I understand no longer exists.
My name is Tina Taylor, I have worked in Rainbow for 22 years and wanted to know what the shop was called or the family who live there. I would be so grateful for any help as we have a cellar that dates back to the 14th century, thank you. My email adress is; tina.taylor1961@sky.com
I attended Caterham School in the 90's, and very little had seemed to have changed since Victorian times. I'd be interested to know what the tower thing in the centre of the building is/was, it's purpose and why it was removed.
In the 1950's The Old Punch Bowle became the Crawley Branch of National Provincial Bank. I worked there from 1970 - 1973, a lovely place to work. In due course, as a result of the 1970 merger with Westminster Bank, the accounts were moved to the former Westminster Bank branch in the Boulevard. About 1994 the venue reverted to being a place of hospitality as a pub owned by Greene King. The photo has to be pre-1955 (the date shown) as I think the NP Bank bought it in 1952.
I visited this stately Church this year to see the gravestone of my biological mother. It was a humbling and wonderful moment to finally see something tangible of her having never had the chance to meet her, having been adopted at birth far far away in Sri Lanka.
1851 census - my great great grandad, Thomas Thing, was an inn keeper at the Shoulder of Mutton Inn (I think Barter Road), along with his wife Mary Ann, and children; Ada, Louisa, Oxco (Oscar), Mary Ann, Zilliah and Arthur.
I was born in 1933 and brought up in Proctor Street, Grimshaw Park. I attended Christ Church School and then Audley Modern Secondary school from 1944 - 48. I left school and worked at Ewood Mill until going nursing in 1950 to The Royal Infirmary. Sad to see that my old mill and the hospital are now gone, as is my childhood home. I have been living in Northamptonshire for the past 59 years now but I am still a Blackburn girl at heart!
Cross Street , which connected Windsor St with Vine St, was obliterated by road development in the late 60's. The white building (front right) was originally The Catherine Wheel Inn, built in the 1500's and I believe the oldest building in Uxbridge apart from the church. In the early 50's it was an antiques shop. A reproduction of the old inn sign still hung outside, the original sign being in the museum ...see more
I was a boy at St Johns when it was known as an approved school (1966 to 1969). I had some great times, going out to play all sports. All the staff were good, no one was really strict. My house master was from Wales, a Mr Sullivan. Masters like Mr Twigg, Mr Bell and the headmaster was Mr Barsby (we called him Ticker Barsby). I was in Wake house. Mr Walters was second in charge at the school, he was mad keen on ...see more
I remember S C Cummins quite well, their factory was close to the corner of (I believe) William Street. My grandparents lived at 55 Martin Street for many years and my aunty lived on Earle Street. My uncle lived on William Street and indeed he worked for Cummins on a part-time basis delivering the vans. Crewe makes up a large part of my life, I was born there in 1955 and left there in 57 to move to Scunthorpe, but the ...see more
My mother, was born in 8, Millgate in 1908. In this image, the lady is standing in the doorway of the house is my grandmother, Elizabeth Smith and the man standing outside may possibly be my grandad, David Smith. My family still lived in that house in the late 60's - my mother's sister Mildred Brown (nee Smith) and her husband Fred Brown. I live in hartlepool, I went there with my sisters when we were young.
The Ferryman in this photo of Blackwater Ferry is my two times great grandfather; Edward Gregory. Former Hampshire County Police Constable, Edward took over the running of the Ferry and the Tea Rooms (it used to sell beer too) on his retirement from the Police force, along with his wife Jane. The Ferry was an important quick route into Bournemouth, via Holdenhurst.
In the late thirties, my mother worked as a dispatcher in Stuarts Bakery in Church Street just down from the junction with Randolph Street. This building has been closed down now for many years.
In the fifties, I would travel with my parents from London to Buckhaven every year. This originally was by SMT coach, once by train and by 1952 by car. My father kept his car in a garage ...see more
I was evacuated to Cadwith along with my three brothers. Two stayed in the farm near the Devil's Frying Pan and the other two with Mr and Mrs Broad in a house near the top of the village. We went to school in Ruan Minor which was a walk across the fields from Cadgwith. I have returned many times, once to make a film about the evacuees. For me the place was bliss and it was the connection with the sea at ...see more
When I was about 7 or 8 I used to stand outside Wally Kilmister's shop to see the Queen as she arrived for the Cup Final in May. Yes, Wally Kilmister's was a treasure trove - bought football boots, a football and all sorts of things there. To the left of WK was a newsagent with a barber shop in the back where I had my hair cut. The Greyhound pub was/is down to the right on the Harrow Road - not recommended on a match day.
What always intrigued my 10 or 11 year old mind here, was that the shop, Noel, was next door to the tobacconist, Leon. Lyon's tea shop was opposite.
I was born in 1948 in South Hall Farms little cottage, which as I know is still there. The farm was owned by the Gunarys, I lived there until I was 19. I went to Lambs Lane Secondary School which ajoined the farm, so I could go over the fields and through the hole in the wire fence then I was at school. All my school friends had great fun playing on the farm, used to go fishing down the little ...see more
