If anyone knows anything about Mill of Thornton, I'd love to hear. My Great-great-grandmother was born here. She was Elizabeth Burnett, daughter of William Burnett and Margaret Duncan. Elizabeth became engaged to a young man, John Gordon, who had set his sights on settling in New Zealand. John went on ahead, and Elizabeth joined him (travelling with chaperone, Rev John Gow) in 1865, when they were married.
Really enjoying looking at the pictures of pembrey, so many memories.
The comment regarding the ‘big house’ on the left at rear of the picture was Lewis’s shop , my grandmother. In earlier times the family , myself include, lived in the shop. Before my time there was a hot water heated glasshouse as well as a bakery in the huge garden at the back. So a typical one stop village shop. As the family moved on to ...see more
I used to visit two ladies in Bradley during the war years,Arvind and Bessie Walker.
Bessie taught me at Stonefield junior school and always rode a bicycle to school.When I visited her home she used to take me on the back of her bike.As a treat in the days of rationing she used to feed me mock crab sandwiches which were actually a mixture of dried egg and chopped tomato! They were quite a treat in those frugal ...see more
The date given for this picture is incorrect. The school opened in 1966 as Annfield Plain Grammar Technical School; I moved here from Annfield Plain Junior Mixed School the following year and left after taking my A-Levels in 1974. Following the move to comprehensive education, it was renamed as Greencroft Comprehensive School. The picture appears to have been taken shortly after the Grammar school opened.
Thank you - archivist is now aware. Ed

In the 1950's I used to go here with my brothers. We tried sailing paper boats. The swans were quite aggressive if you got too close to their cygnets. One time I got too adventurous and stepped down the slope, slid on the algae and ended up drenched. I had to walk back to South Ealing Road squelching and feeling very sorry for myself.
I visited again in 2011 and was interested to see it much the same. The ...see more
I was an evacuee to Cefn |Hengoed, My mother said that |I was 6weeks old when we got there and I was born beginning of November 1940. I understand that after being placed with different families we finished living with Mr & Mrs B Evans 71 Derwendeg Avenue. Bertha and Bert had at least 1 boy and I think 2 girls in their family living there as well so I think it must have been quite crowded. I know that I spent ...see more

Empty streets, shops closed, pubs etc empty. Very little traffic, no children playing, no schools etc. etc.

Not sure why, but this popped into my head this morning. We lived in Purley from 1962 to 1964, having arrived from Canada. After 1964 we moved to Bournemouth (now in Dorset, then In Hants).
What suddenly popped into my head this morning was that I was trying to remember the name of the school that I attended. I think that it was located at the top of the High Street where it ...see more

I wonder if in the future we will have pictures of empty streets, shops pubs , etc.
Will London, or the world ever be the same. Many wonder what, and why this is happening ? What the future will be like ? Where can we find answers ?
As one vicar in London, recently told his congregation, “ We don’t have the answers, but you can find them on the web site ‘jw.org’ and said that what he is doing.
Sound advice ! It ...see more
I remember staying here with my parents sister and cousin must have been about 1950. I would have been about 6 or 7.
Seem to remember a sort of sunroom located at the front where us kids slept in makeshift beds made up from loungers and easy chairs pushed together.
There was a kitchen somewhere at the back and the light from the lighthouse would send it’s beams through the windows.
Also remember seeing frogmen ...see more

they developed that area and he had new premises underneath the new flats next to Turners, the bakers.

I lived here in the late 60's early 70's when it was closed. My dad Peter Bishop ran the pub up the road. Paid a nostalgic trip back here in Sept '19 and what a shame that the old place had gone. Still, brought back a lot of memories of playing in the garden and catching newts in the pond that was there.
We had so much fun exploring the magical building. My late sister and myself used to play 'shops' among all the ...see more

Hello again.
I started at Cold Ash School, St Marks C of E in 1953. The school consisted of the original brick building housing two class rooms and a large hall, plus a new wooden extension of two more class rooms and a cloak room. The infants' class was in the old building with its high windows to prevent distraction from outside. My teacher was Miss Clarke, a kindly and quietly spoken lady. My ...see more
My grandfather Wilson Cochrane who was the local barber in Lynemouth was coastguard down in Cresswell sometime during the 2nd world war
I spent the early years of my life in Cold Ash and Thatcham. We lived in a detached house on Cold Ash Hill called Midway. I believe it has since been renamed. The house was built by my grand father Alfred Gadd, the carpenter, for the pricely sum of £460. I still have his book of expenditure on the build somewhere. Next door down the hill was the bungalow owned by Len Durbidge and on the other side, up the ...see more
Image 138 sure as hell isn't Mousehole - I've lived here for 25 years and the harbour piers look nothing like this and the seascape to the left bear absolutely no resemblance to Parade Cliffs!
I'm absolutely confident that image 138 is of Mullion Harbour, but the slanted pier face has been squared off since 1955.

This boat was called Albion, I remember her well as I spent my childhood in Cardnell's yard either sailing the family boat or fitting it out -(some of the happiest days of my life) - she was pale green, an unusual colour for a boat as many consider green unlucky. Moored next to her in a similar mud berth was a clinker built converted ships lifeboat called Kim. I remember this from age 10! (1966). As a family we continued ...see more
I remember my Aunt and uncle moving to Capel in around 1967 - not sure? He was a lot older than my Aunty Jean - He was Desmond Orr. Family folklore says that he was rather grumpy and customers tended to keep away during their time there. Desmond died there - he was a lot older than Jean. They had two sons Rex and Tommy. We used to have a great family party once a year and stay in a flat attached to the ...see more

This was Prince Henry's Grammar School. The younger girls had to do gym in their navy blue knickers and we had to dash across to it hoping the boys would not see us!

As a toddler, I can just remember being taken to visit them, John and Alice Rawbone. They lived, I believe, in a farmhouse where they grew apples for home made cider with a pig in the orchard. This was sold to Bulmers Cider. I subsequently learnt from my Father that Bulmers eventually told their cider manufacturers that, in order to produce the same type each year, they would only buy the apples in ...see more
Having been told I would be starting at Thornbury Grammar School in September 1955, a friend and I decided to cycle to Thornbury from our homes in Filton to see where we were going to spend the next five plus years.

I grew up in Regal way just off Preston Hill but was born in Shirehall Rd in 1938. My memories of living in Regal way were rather sketchy and am trying to jog my memory of my life there from 1938 until 1953. We attended the Catholic church called St Erconwalds and attended there as a family. We always sat at the front on the left side as I do to this day when I attend my church here where I live now . My brother and I were altar boys as were another set of brothers.

I'm trying to trace my earliest memory. It was about 1955, and I was one-year-old when I fell out of my pram in a grocery shop in Hendon. My recollection (this does not come from my mother's accounts of the story) was that the shop was familiar - one of our regular trips. I think you could see St Mary's church from the shop door, which would place it on Church Terrace. I have a picture in my head ...see more
I lived in this house for a year in 1958 when my father was stationed at RAF Wethersfield. We spent a good deal of time in the kitchen as the warmest room in the house. When spring came it was lovely in the back garden with snowdrops and other spring flowers abounding.
All the village children introduced my sister and I to the old abandoned RAF station in Little Easton where we rode our bicycles on the old tarmac. It remains a cherished memory.

These were the original gateposts that marked the entrance to Nork Park. These originally where placed at the entrance to The Drive, that leads to Nork Park.
Later in the 1930's, they where moved to their present site at Ruden Way when the Nork Estate and Country House was sold.
Luckily, two of these posts remain in the same place today. This is the view I wake up to every morning!
