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 lived in Sidcup asa child up to the age of 11, moving away from the area in 1970. I went to Days Lane Primary School. I don’t remember there being a high street as such but a row of shops I do remember which included a Hairdresser, a newsagent and a small grocer’s as supermarkets used to be called then. I have fond memories of walking past the shops to school and across the way was a long woodland path that led ...see more
My first recollection of life in Whiston was as a small child waking up at my Grandma's house on the morning she moved from near the crossroads to a newly built bungalow in Birchall Ave.(although her family had lived in Whiston for a few generations). This would be the mid fifties and heralded the start of many happy years staying over there some weekends and at summer holidays. I had cousins living nearby and soon made ...see more
Hi, my surname was Rivington and we use to live on the corner of Seymour Street and Holt Hill. Looked like the house of the Munsters 😁I was a real tomboy. Use to go to mersey Park primary then prenton high. I remember family names of Rimmer, Grace, King and McGrath. We use to play, 'war' in mersey Park. Hearing the hooter for cammel lards, Morgan ice creams on Church Road and lots more.
I may well have a poor recollection here as I would have been only 3 or 4 years old at the time but wasn't Sainsbury's first Tonbridge store located on the west side of the high street just south of the old post office / just north of the old Baptist church? - this is before they moved to Avebury avenue and subsequently to the Angel football ground area? This would have been in the early 1960's - Thanks for ...see more
Does anyone remember the the big empty house over the plannie ?that we called the haunted hoose ,in the 1950,60 ,also the huge big rock we all used to sit on when we were youngsters,i think that it is a residential care home for the elderly ,I loved growing up in Carntyne ,and when it was raining heavy, it used to Flood under the bridge at Rigby St, and when coming home from school had to Wade through it to get home ,or climb up to the railway line very dangerous indeed ,
I remember moving here in 1970 into a brand new tenement,mossvale rd, everybody seemed to just keep to themselves ,no community spirit ,nothing much to do then, no shops, as nearest shops were in Ruchazie ,there used to be a grocer van that came round were you could get essentials ,but costly, later on they built the shops and a chippy,it was a lonely existence as a teenager as nowhere to meet new friends ,
For a time, my best school friend in Gomersal County Primary School was Colin Chapman. He lived at the children’s home in Little Gomersal. He had a walking impediment and wore a steel leg brace on one leg. At a certain point in the time I was at the school (1953-59), he suddenly disappeared from my life and I have since wondered often about what happened to him and how his life turned out. If anyone has any information about this person I’d be very grateful to receive it 🙏
After the War my dad worked in the garden at Wolfe's. He used to brjng home bags of extrusions and we'd trim them for extra money.

Although I only lived at Great Totham as a young boy for 7 years , 48 years after moving to the Cotswolds because of my fathers work I still have a fair few memories. We moved to Foster road in 1965 from Chelmsford the year when all these great photos were taken, shame there are not more. I remember playing with friends in the ditch area by the brook at the bottom of Catchpole Lane just to the ...see more

My father is the gentleman looking towards the camera, on the left hand side, behind the lady in the light coloured coat. His name is George Allatt Meadows. I remember being around 15 and my father coming home from Cheadle village and saying he had seen people taking photographs. He & my mother, Emily Meadows lived on Oak Road, Cheadle.
In the late 1960’s I was a pupil at a nearby preparatory school (Bishton Hall) and used to enjoy walking via Colton to Rugeley as well as the main A51. Walking up towards Admaston was a bit far as I was only eight years old but I did walk up there on a few occasions. Now as a driver I explore the area and go around other nearby areas, but I always enjoy parking by Blithfield Reservoir for a look and walk around. Sometimes I enjoy a walk around Colton too.
I lived in Hayfield from 1940 till 1960. My mother moved my brother and myself here to get away from the bombing of Manchester where I was born. I have so many memories of being brought up in this wonderful, for a small boy, place. I well remember the Park Hall swimming pool, set in the middle of a wood, with statues on pillars all around. It cost 2/6d old money, or 25 pence in new money, a day to go there ...see more
I’m researching my family tree, and have discovered that my great grandfather was John Barber , he was a trustee of the work house in Ebbw Vale, and, as a boy in Ebbw Vale my Dad remembers seeing a statue of him up on top of a building... can anyone out there tell me anything about him, his family, the work house, and where the statue is now? Any info would be gratefully accepted .
I was sent to the school twice, once in 76 and 78. My grandad was ill the first time, I remember the discipline and the punishments, for me it was a place where I could a child. I was warm, clean, well fed and learning. I was in the Islay dormitory. The dormitories were called after islands or rivers. Aye we got dragged out and made tramp the hills for miles. Being a glasga street rat. I loved the ...see more
Terence Rodin, born in 1944, we llived at my auntie’s house West Avenue/Central Drive until we moved into our own council house in Griffiths Drive.

Christmas parties were held in the Church Hall a few yards away. We always had to tie cotton around the handles of ...see more

My maternal grandmother, Mary,(7) and her sister, Agnes(2) were sent to St Clare's in Pantasaph after the death of their father. She remembered having to wait on the day girls and was very conscious of having been a' charity case'. She didn't have fond memories of the place. Does anyone know if it is possible to see records of the inmates going back that far?
It was rad stock way not wood rd
I remember South Harrow very well my mum and I would go there every Saturday to do the shopping and we would both carry it back walking to Reading Road. I used to go to Saturday morning pictures at the Cinema in South Harrow it’s probably a bingo place now or it’s been demolished. There was an Express Dairy where you could buy milk. One year they had a fair on the vacant block near to the bridge ...see more
I spent those years living in West Road. The primary School was know as Japan Road School and I suspect long gone. My memories are of the Rest Centre on the edge of St Chads Park, the coal merchant on the corner of Alexandra Road, Pasks bike shop where you could also buy your maggots for fishing, trolley buses leaving from the depot next to the Gaumont, the opticians in the High Road (Jim Peters of marathon running ...see more
Moved into Coppermill Rd in the early 1980's, majority of homes were still owned by their original 1930's owners. A very village atmosphere where people knew each other. They had bought their new-builds before Heathrow Airport, the construction of the Wraysbury reservoir and the M25. Their views would have been completely different from now. Back in the 80's the aircraft noise was intense from Tridents, DC-9, DC10, ...see more
I was born in 1958. My father was in the RAF. His mother, my grandmother lived at 6 Jubilee Crescent Port Sunlight. Whenever we moved from one RAF camp to another we would stay at my Nanas for a couple of weeks, while the house we were moving to was vacant. How I loved it there. Always so much to do. Well it seemed as if there was. My sister and I would play around the memorial, the lovely gardens. I ...see more

In the mid 70s. I was employed, for a short time, to teach English at Matchwood Park by a French lady called Madame Imbert. I taught twice a week and a friend of mine taught on another two days. I can’t find any reference to her and her husband in the information online about Matchwood Park and would be interested to know if anyone knows why. She gave me the impression that she owned the building but it seems ...see more
My Dad Ray New recalls being sent to Suntrap School, Hayling Island round about 1948, as he was "delicate". He would have been about 9-10 years old. He recalls helping to manually drain the chests of asthmatic children. He has a photograph of a boys' cricket team from those days and in it he believes is Mr Gough, and another teacher who played cricket at county level for Hampshire. There are a ...see more
We moved to Minster Way when I was six years of age, the estate was still being built and a lot of the workers were German prisoners as this was immediately after the war. It was a wonderful playground for children, although one day I fell head first into a water barrel, and it was only because one of the German workers pulled me out quickly that I'm here today. I have wonderful memories of the time we lived in Minster Way.

We had great fun in the fields across the road from the Fox, there was a stream with a wooden bridge over ...see more
There was a two-hour program for kids at the Odeon on Saturday morning. A tanner downstairs, nine pence upstairs. Films of Heckle and Jeckle, Sir Galahad serial, then a final, longer film. Mr. Pearson was the manager. After, we'd go down the lane by, think it was The Still, and get free, broken brandy snaps from the brandy snap factory. Patricia Hampton.
Yes, I do remember. It was fancy dress. I was got up as a herald.. Yellow and white paper. "Yes," they said to me, "Mary won a prize wearing that." Patricia Hampton.
I had both our sons in there in 1968 and 1971, a lovely hospital, I had a lovely Jamaican midwife in 1968 for my 1971 visit I was in 24hrs so I had Mrs Golding as my District Midwife. How well we were cared for compared to today's Mothers and babies

Hi I have lived in Amersham and Chesham Bois for the past 30 years and love the rich history of these places. I collect old postcards of this area and the Missendens, and I also research interesting people who have lived and worked here.

I was a child in the 1960's living in Waterworks Cottages (now a large Tesco). My schools were Tower Hill Nursery (I think) and Margaret Roper. As the cottages no longer exist, I wondered if anyone had memories or photos of them? I have a hazy memory that they were detached or semi-detached, with an outside toilet and a Rayburn for heating. I also recall the steam trains dispensing their soot on Monday's washing, to chagrin of 'Renie', next door!
My time at the County School must have been from 1947 until 1951, when I left, to become a trainee Draughtsman at the British Thermostat, in Sunbury I too remember Mr Phillips, who I thought was very formidable, until he became my Maths master, when I began to like him, as he was quite humorous His lunchtime picture shows in the science lab I do remember, particularly cartoon day. Mrs ...see more
We always refered to the pleasure boat as the 'Coker Boat'. Was this the name of the owner? I am not sure of the spelling, it was only a verbal reference and we were only young!

So my ...see more
The house in the foreground is not the post office as the title of this postcard suggests, the post office is actually across the road in the background of the shot. The main house in the photo was known as Pink House and was where my gran and grandad lived for many years - Bill and Gladys Webber. Thank you for this information - I have passed it to our Archivist who will make the necessary changes. Ed
My granny was Gladys Webber who lived in Waterrow for most of her life. I lived there with her till 1953 but after that spent most weekends and school holidays with her.

Mum and dad moved to Consfield Avenue in 1941 when I was just 2 years old. The air-raid siren (on the top of Malden police station) always seemed to go off at the most inconvenient time, and there was always a panic to crowd into the shelter in the back garden,- and occasionally it meant sleeping there, which I always hated because Dad snored such a lot. Burlington Road school was a happy school, as ...see more

The bottom part of this secen now lies under the Heads of the Valley Road. This is taken before the ‘old’ road was built, showing open fields down to the canal bank and the former Navigation Inn. You can see the Congregational Chapel in the left hand corner. The Farm was demolished when the old Heads of the Valley was built, but there is a footpath across the fields to Ty Gwyn.
This is the view from Brunant Road, over Brunant Farm to Maesygwartha and Pantybeiliau. The Old Rectory just on the left edge.
Looking across the Clydach Gorge from Pant-y-Beiliau Farm, before the Heads of the Valley Road was built. Brunant Farm in the middle of the picture. My grandparents’ house is in the middle left. The railway line running clearly across the middle. I grew up in a new house built next to my grandparents, so it’s fascinating for me to see how things looked before I was born. The thing that ...see more

I know it may not be everyone's cup of tea... But to me St brides brings back so many memories of people, events and the packed childhood holidays I had there. Not visiting holidays, they were my school holidays. I lived on the lighthouse caravan site (a place some people I know looked down on).. I now know there are much worse areas in the UK... And I am proud to tell people I lived there in the late 60s early 70s and miss those times so much. Graham Evans.

As a schoolboy living in Chingford from 1956 to 1964 I spent many hours gazing through the window of Jobstocks, the army surplus store in Walthamstow.
