In the mid 1950s when I was about six or seven years of age my parents took me on a holiday to a farmhouse just outside Nevern, the farm was owned by a couple named Thomas.
They were then from photos I have, probably in their late sixties or so.
I found out many years later that my father had been married before he met my mother and his son from that marriage was evacuated to the Thomas's farm during the ...see more
I never lived in Ogmore Vale but my parents and grandparents did. We went there for holidays and stayed in my grandparents house in 9 Highland Place. They were the Jones family. Grandfather was the organist and choir master at the Wesley chapel. He was a tailor by trade. My aunt was a teacher as was my mother May Jones. She was born in Nantymoel and also taught in a school there before she got married. It was ...see more
I was a pupil between 1942 and 1944. My name then was Barbara Brown and I lived in Redditch, travelling each day by train. I went to Woodruff because my father had also attended the school (Walter Brown, around 1907 to 1908). He went on to King Edwards Grammar School before serving in WW1.
I am the tallest one in the back row of that photo. I remember Rosemary, Eileen and Betty. Miss Jackson and ...see more
My brother Tommy Nevett,my sister Annette Smith and I Sheila Kirkman nee Nevett were all christened at this church many many moons ago.
My grandparents lived in Earl street next to the morning star pub , of which I can find no info. There was a Chinese laundry opposite and I remember collecting their Chrisp White sheets wrapped in brown paper. I attended St Mary's Rc school on the mounts and loved getting sweets and toffee apples from a quaint little shop called Coombes. Does anyone remember these places or this area.
Does anyone know anything about the mounts area. My grandparents lived in earl street next door to the morning star pub , of which I can find no information. Opposite them was a Chinese laundry called sunlight. I remember collecting their Chrisp white sheets wrapped in brown paper. I attended St Mary's school on the mounts and loved getting the sweets and toffee apples from a quaint little shop on the mounts. Would love to hear from anyone who remembers these places.
I was born in 1948 and my Grandma lived at Brook Bridge House in Kilby. I can remember hating living in Industrial Huddersfield but only because I could not wait to get to Kilby for my weeks holiday in the summer. There was a farm in the village, a guy called Neil lived there who was my age, very young! I used to go up there as much as possible and play with the animals, it was just heaven, I remember Mrs Moynihan at ...see more

Hello Linda.
I came across your message while googling Harborne Hall. For six weeks in the summer of 1989 we rented the first floor flat in one wing of the house for I think about ten pounds a week. It was large enough for my family of six (2+ 4 young children) from HK and my sister and her family (2+ 2 young children) from the States. It was a little run down but at that price amazingly good ...see more

Looking west from the east end of Ulrome, the shop was in the nearest end of the white cottages.
Looking east from Leeson's pond across the road to Lissett.
Ulrome Wesleyan chapel built of yellow brick finally shut its doors in late 2014 I think, maybe early 2015.
I used to live in the asbestos(!) bungalow on the left from when I was born in 1956 to 1972 after which we moved to Hall Farm where my father was in partnership with his 2 brothers. The bungalow was demolished a good while ago and was replaced by a bigger brick-built dormer which is what can be seen today. The cottages on the right used to house Cleve Pottery before its move to the old Skipsea primary school. The ...see more
I had a lump in my throat reading about Skares. I was born there but the family, Mum, Dad, brother Jim and I moved to Cumnock when I was one year old so Cumnock is Hame to me.
Mum was a Skares lass Mary Hazlett (nee Davidson). The Davidsons lived in the Auld Raw I believe. Andy, Maggie, sons David and James, daughters Jenny and Mary.
My Dad Alex "Sanny" Hazlett was from Ochiltree. I was born in 106 ...see more
From 1954-60 I travelled from Blackfield to the Gregg School in Winn Road. It was a 'long and winding' road by bus, so it became an adventure to travel by the Hythe Ferry. A walk or run up the pier, or a fun ride in the electric train started a journey across the water to the Royal Pier which varied day by day. This was the time of the great liners - not the floating box hotels of today. The sight of ...see more
Dear Frith Collection,
My grandfather, Llew E. Morgan, was a renowned photographer in Wales, (see
FULL CIRCLE at www.morganhopkin.co.uk)
I am convinced that he took this photograph as my grandmother and mother are walking towards the camera on the right. As usual, my mother, then aged five has turned her head away from the camera.
We still have over a thousand of LLew's images on ...see more
I remember riding my bike around in Burnham on the day the yellow parking lines were painted.
So this would date the picture to mid 60s say 1965 give or take a year. That's pretty close.

The house was built by my Grandfather around 1920, I have a page from a 1926 telephone directory stating that the house was a business address of the Adams Brothers, (not sure if this was my Grandfather William and his Brother George or maybe my Father, William George and his Brother Lewis Henry), however the business run was that of Mineral ...see more
i was brought up in Priesthill in the late 1950/60s and at that time it was quite a new housing scheme and was a great place to stay. My father and some of his friends started a tenants association for the scheme and we had youth clubs and socialist Sunday schools. My memories of Glanderston dam are great as a large group of tenants and their children used to ramble to the dam almost every Sunday in the summer ...see more

Seeing this shot of the hospital brings back wonderful memories. I was born here in 1975. Both my parents worked here: my Father did his PhD in Rheumatoid Arthritis here under Dr L. Glynn. My Godparents, Bob and Diane Rogers, set up the Youth Group here. I feel like I grew up here what with holiday clubs, fireworks displays, Jill the hairdresser, the WRVS shop, the canteen. In those days and in that wonderful community, children of staff were welcome. Happy memories.
The photograph shows the entry to Hell Mill Lane (sometimes called Riley Road) which runs along the valley of the Little Avon towards Ozleworth; to the right behind the trees is Wortley Farm, occupied in the 1940's by the Dawe family. The Dawe's had German POWs during WW2 helping on the farm. The house to the left was occupied by the Picton-Turberville family. The road leads on the right to Alderley and ...see more

I was raised in Kenton from 1954 until I left home in 1971. My visits to Kenton up until 2013 were to visit my elderly Dad, who still resided in Woodcock Hill until his death. The changes over the years have been enormous. Mum and Dad actually saw their house being build by 'Costin' and they were finally able to move in, in June 1952 having rented the upstairs of a house in Kenton Road after they first married at ...see more
My Grandparents, Albert and Ada Johnson, lived in a little cottage overlooking the village green around the turn of the 19th century, where they brought up seven of 13 children. I think grandad was the doctor's gardener and grandma 'did' for the lady of the house (next door?). My grandparents' front garden was surrounded by a flint-stone wall similar to those in the pictures and was separated from the cottage by the ...see more
I went to MBHS in 1960/64 when it was up at Prissick Base, just moved up from the town adjacent to the Gazette Office and Teesside Poly or Constantine College as it was then. They have knocked down the schools at Prissick, as they did for Marton Road juniors where I attended previously. At least the old clock tower entrance of the original High School still survives.
My teachers at MBHS were Pop ...see more

i started school in 1942 when I was 4 years old, and the school was then in one of the large terraced houses in West End Avenue, run by the two"Miss Tait"sisters. I remember having to go into some kind of large van which was parked in the lane behind the houses,with our gas masks on,presumably to test them. It was later, though I'm not sure of the date, Mrs Gray took over the school and the ...see more
I lived in Chandler's Ford but went to school in Eastleigh. First to Cranbury Road and later North End Secondary. Remember the Library well, a small children's section, couldn't wait until I was old enough to use the adult section, so many more choices. The bandstand was in the park. On summer weekends bands played, we would sit on the grass and enjoy.
Sometimes we would buy a platform ticket just to ...see more
I was born November 1948 in the Prefab my mum and Dad and sister Pamela moved to the previous year. Marie and Dick Smith originally came from the east end, but moved out to Dagenham as young children in the early 1930s. When they first moved into the prefab they looked out over farm land. As the estate was built we then looked out over Bosworth school playing field.
I was delivered by ...see more

Does anyone have a connection with the Porter family who were Ag Labs in Mountnessing during the mid-1800?
Trying to find my ancestor George Porter, b. 1866.

I remember this building well, now destroyed..
I lived in the house attached to the "Pav", from the age of 9 to 21.
There was cricket, football, bowls, tennis, track running outdoors. Badminton, table tennis and billiards indoors. Plus the Saturday night dances..
I used to catch the No.22 bus to Mexborough Tech. At the stop near the roundabout..
Now live in Plymouth aged 85....
Hi I am currently doing my family tree. My grandad was born in Dale cottage in Barnston Dip and would like to know if there are any old photos from 1900. His name was Charlie Howard and his mother and fathers names were Thomas Howard and Hannah Herbert !
I used to spend my summer holidays in Brynamman and used to go with my two cousins swimming here. In 1955 I was 13 years old. I remember, even though the day might be very warm, the water was always cold.
My mum used to help with the haymaking in Burnedge. Her name was Beryl and she lived in Balderstone. Her father was John fletcher 1900 who was brought up by a relative living in Burnedge presumably due to his parents dying. My grandfather fell off a roof and almost lost his arm. His carer however insisted having it set in one position. I never knew but my mum and wife Beatrice Heathcote Butterworth were forever grateful!

From the age of about 10, so about 1957, every year for about 5 years I held a season ticket which cost 5 shillings at the Gosport Swimming Bath for the whole summer, and spent hours there every week. I could even be somewhere in this picture! If I was feeling flush I could buy a choc-ice for 5 old pence, and I always had a penny for a squirt of Brylcreem from the dispenser.
I attended Eastbrook from 1959 to 1964, after Richard Alibon Juniors, Dickie Davis was my first form teacher and my memory of him is he always carried a cane, he was one of the few teachers that would give you the stick himself rather than send you to the headmaster, Mr. Curry?? Dickies catch phrase, which he would say whilst shaking his cane and looking up to the ceiling was 'Sit up and shut up'. The religious ...see more

My late father's uncle worked at Poole Hall circa 1929. He came from Ballinasloe, Co Galway and was a tradesman of some kind. His name was Patrick Burke.
My late mother Isabelle Grainger (1925-2010) worked at the Royal West Sussex Hospital during the late 1940s early 1950s as secretary to the Matron Miss E.S. Parkinson (later Mrs Buckwell). Whilst working at the hospital my mother met a wonderful friend Brenda Arnell who had trained as an SRN at the hospital. Ms Arnell was later to become my godmother.

Before talking of my own memories, it would seem appropriate to start by sharing some valuable ones of my Father who was born in 1906 and spent his whole life in the town. During the last five years of his life in the 1990s, he resided at the front of Chantry Court where he could look out of the window and see his beloved town go by whilst talking nostalgically of his childhood in the early ...see more
We were like one huge crazy family, not only from Welling, but also from the surrounding towns of Blackfen, Bexleyheath, Crayford, Dartford, Eltham, Plumstead and Woolwich - even as far as from the other side of London - travelling around the club and dance hall circuit, many on scooters, in pursuit of eternal pleasure and happiness. Here in remembrance of that great Sixties era are their ...see more

Hi there.
I'll always have fond memories of Valentines Park, those beautiful swans and Canadian cygnets at the Cranbrook Road end, Gants Hill Odeon, library, the bird cage in Valentines Park, the boat lakes, the brass band on a Sunday afternoon in Valentines Park, Valentines Park lido, walking down Ley Street, Plesseys and those yearly Guy Fawkes nights with their perennial cartoons before the ...see more
I visited Irishopeburn for holidays with my parents several times from the late 1940s until the mid 1950s. We lived in Sunderland so that the journey was quite long and exciting. This necessitated taking a train first of all to Durham where all passengers detrained whilst the train cleared the platform into a siding to allow the passage of a London bound express. We then reboarded and headed for Bishop Auckland where ...see more
I recently shared memories of the many clubs, bars and dance halls that sprung up in and around Welling during the mid 1960's Mod era. Since then several other venues have come to mind. I remember the Sunday evening disco at The Welcome Inn, a big pub on Well Hall Road, Eltham. It was held in a large hall at the back of the pub, packed to the rafters every week. The venue had to close after a ...see more
1948 I went to a primary School just down the road from where i lived at 22 Burgh Heath Rd.

When I was a child in the 1940s, this sports field belonged to the Post Office. Occasionally there would be a horse in residence and this is where I had my first and only ride on such an animal. The stadium on the left caught fire one night and, it all being wood, burnt down to the ground. The area immediately sandwiched in between the railway fence and the railway line was my father's lineside allotment for ...see more
My Grandparents Albert Elon and Florence Ida Baker were landlords of The Angel Inn during the second world war, I can remember how my sister and I had difficulty falling asleep because of the chiming of the town clock. We used to walk up a long path at the rear of the pub which ran along side my grandfather's allotment, when we reached the end we then continued to the playing fields to go on the ...see more
I lived in one of the cottages directly opposite these shops in the 50's. No 33 Kennington Cottages. My youngest brother and sister were born here. I have so many fond memories. I seem to remember the drapers shop had a lovely dog. I used to buy warm peanuts on occasion in the sweet shop.They were warmed by a funny little glass cabinet with a light bulb inside. The sandpits nearby were just being dug out. They have been filled in now. That really does make me feel old.
I lived in dunmurry for 16 years from 1960 until 1976 the things that i remember in the village were the two barber shops the first one was beside jack norths sweet shop on the bridge where as a young boy i remember being left in here to have my hair cut while my mother did her shopping Here i had to sit in with old men smoking their cigs and pipes creating a fog that floated above their heads in this barbers you ...see more

I lived there till the mid sixties. I would love to hear from anybody and swap stories. J Carley.
Another reason that I liked to visit Leatherhead was because my Auntie Mag had a shop there and I was always guaranteed a welcome that invariably included a sticky bun or some similar magnet to a young child.
Opposite The Dukes Head pub in the High Street, (unfortunately just out of view in this shot) the shop was a millinery and haberdashery store that seemed old fashioned even then. I remember ...see more
After the war Dad found work as an assistant in a long established family-run department store called Moulds. Situated in Leatherhead High Street, it was an imposing sort of place with double glass doors set well back from the street and flanked by large curved glass windows displaying everything from three piece suites to sharpening stones. Above the doors on the first floor there was a large arched window ...see more
Mother & I used to live opposite the Horse & Groom - that's right, we lived in the house next to the white barn, we only had two rooms, seeing that we were down from "bombed out" in London in the war. They made us very welcome as did the whole village. We used to drink at the Horse & Groom, and I used to go to the local dances in the Village Hall - and I have happy memories of those days,
I even joined the Home ...see more
During the 1960's many venues opened in and around Welling to cater for a growing music and dance culture. Teddy-boys and Rockers had frequented the Embassy Ballroom, but when Mod became the dominating style, so came the clubs and bars to satisfy the kids desire for great music and a place to dance. The Tuesday Club and Thursday Club on The Green, Welling, began as a rock ...see more
