My grandfather on my father's side, Jabez Herbert Henry Smith (known as Herbert) was born on 19th January 1885. At the tender age of 13 he was sent by his parents to take up a seven year apprenticeship at Devereux’s store in Lowestoft with a view to becoming a grocer. He eventually opened his own grocer shop “H.J.Smith” circa 1916 in the converted front room of a property known as Balham ...see more
As with many of the neighbors in our road we owned two coal fires, one in each downstairs room, with chimneys to match. Keeping the fires lit during cold winters required loose coal, supplied in huge bags, to be regularly delivered. As a child this was always something of an event when the coalmen arrived in their big lorry. We usually had two bags delivered, carried from the lorry to the coal bunker ...see more

We moved to Pilgrims Hatch in 1971, such fun living on the Estate with a never ending hotch potch of mates to street rake with - knock down ginger, ipp dipp dog sh*t, duck duck goose, conkers and kiss chase. We'd bike to Ken Saunders sweet shop and get half ounce of Golden Virginia for Dad and penny chews or marshmallow mushrooms for us. There were Silly Syrretts the tiny grocery shop, the Butchers with ...see more
When I saw this photo, and read the memory by Jill Graham, I have to admit that tears filled my eyes. I stayed at Ashleigh with my parents and sister in the 60s. It was the first time that my parents had ever booked a holiday - before that they usually just set off in the car to an area and looked for places to stay. I was 12 when we first went there, and I can honestly say that my memories of that stay are ...see more
In 1871 my relatives were inn keepers of the cross keys pub. Names were Dorothy Hadfield and Abraham Barber. This I have just found out on my family history. They were in the pub in 1861 also and I think before that. I dont know if this is any good to anyone who lives there or who are relatives of the two people listed. It would be nice to hear from anyone who is interested in this history.
I was born in Taplow in 1957, my parents shared a house (a semi) with my grandparents. They lived downstairs and us obviously upstairs.
I attended St Anthony’s Catholic School on the Farnham Rd and at that time they had only started building the church next to the school. While I was there I became a member of the 9th Slough Cub’s. I also went on to play for the cub's football team - but we never won ...see more

Hi all,
Does anyone have any memories of the twins - Bernadette and Nicolette Brady.

I spent my first period of nursing training in this hospital (now converted into luxury apartments I believe). I can remember its endlessly long corridor with wards off, left and right and flights of stairs to the upper floor. Oh how proud I was of my new ward uniform but equally scared as a novice student nurse, but quickly adapted and learned and before long I was doing my first stint on night duty, in ...see more

Down Bilsdean Creek where fresh and salt water meet,
the bladderwrack rehydrating incoming tide chases
tiny trout upstream to the overhanging hazel branch
sanctuary of dappled dancing sunlight where they flit
back and forth under the ever watchful kingfisher
shimmering electric blue glints of nervous anticipation
By whelk denuded tidal pools, Freddy the refugee
with his rusty bike, tin can kettle ...see more

It was one of the coldest winters on record. I'd love to hear from any adoptees that were there around that time. You never know.

I recall as a young boy the Saw Mill that existed neat Esh Winning Colliery. It was sited just prior to where the Railway siding crossed the road at the bottom of West Terrace. It used to cut pit props which were stacked on the opposite site of the road close to the colliery.
There is no indication today that this building existed. The railway is gone and so are the colliery terraces beyond where the railway ran, the only remaining building is one I always knew as the Women's Institute
In the Fifties my family used to live in Gipsy Road. Once a month, or so, I was taken to visit friends of my stepmother, Uncle Andy and Auntie Kit, who lived at the Bexleyheath end of Long Lane.

Hello, do you happen to remember the name of the Optician in Wembley Square near Bernard's sports shop?
I remember happy times at the Vine public house . It was renamed Crampy’s , due to Cecil Bowles ( the landlord ), being nicknamed Crampy. His little wife Marge used to work behind the bar also . We loved Marge . When Crampy was out of the way , she used to climb on a little stool and help herself to something alcohol of the shelf . She would put her finger to her mouth and say , Shush, don’t tell Father. I often wondered what she drank , and for whatever reason, he didn’t like her having it .

I was born in Aust Farm in 1952 as it was my mother's home. It was on the road to Black Rock and my grandfather farmed the fields up to the river. I think the farm's name has changed now.

We came to a deserted Moresdale Hall in the 1980s and spent several years refurbishing it. Because it had 2 front doors and 2 staircases we were able to divide it and share it with my brother's family.
