I remember the many years, 1964 - 1975 attending “night school”, and also working at Southend Tech, Engineering Dept. All gone now, first the original College building which used to be where the Odeon cinema is now, then later the London Road, Engineering Dept building, which is now a Students accommodation site. Carnarvon Road building now converted into Flats etc.
Such fun it was sitting at the old ...see more
I remember this school with great affection
I lived with my grandparents and mum in Shadwell drive (can't remember the number) but it was the last house facing the school.
Nan would watch me walking to school every day as she could see right up the road and never worried about me. Sadly we moved to Southall when my grandparents died and my mum remarried.
My grandparents surname was Marshall and my surname was Green
Happy days
Greetings from Canada. Although I have never visited England I have long had a great admiration of Wales. My Great Grandfather who was born in London in 1835 of Welsh parents wrote many notations in margins of a Family Bible of stories handed down of related families who dwelt in Pembroke, way back to 1700's. The "s" in my surname, Johns, was added on by an ancestor in late 1700's, prior to this it was ...see more
My grandmother appears as a cooks assistant at a school at Fairlea Meads ,Chesterfield Road in Eastbourne. Sadly I cannot find any photos of the building.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone, I'm looking for a specific patient who was at Heswall in 1952, named Nora. Someone who stayed at Heswall at the same time is looking to find her.
I'm a Producer for the TV show Gwesty Aduniad where we reconnect people with people who meant a lot to them, and in this case, that's Nora. If anyone has any knowledge of a Nora who stayed there, or an idea for organisations I ...see more
My father and all his brothers worked on the Tarboats for many years duringWW11 . It would be great if anyone could supply any info as the families have little on them . Many thanks
I would like to get in touch with any one who was at St johns in 1975 /76, they organized a trip to wales where we learned how to canoe and abseiling down steep rocks, the place in wales was called Llanberis, please contact me through this web site it would be interesting to exchange memories, many thanks.
As a 10 year old in 1954, I sold sweets from a small table inside or outside the tobacconist and sweet shop to the left of the Regal. This was for an hour before the children's Saturday morning pictures started, for which I was paid 6d - the price of going into the pictures. Does anyone remember buying from me and/or the name of the tobacconist?
I'm an Awliscombe Loaring descended from at least 2 generations of Loarings who operated the mill c1700 on the River Wolf just down the lane to the southwest of the Honiton Inn in Awliscombe. I'm hoping someone knows how the River Wolf got its name. There are 2 other Rivers Wolf in Devon, and I see online that at least one of them is not named for the handsome canine creature. There are giant ...see more
I hope, I think I am the first to write - I lived in Hainton 1951/54. Our dad worked on the farm just up the road (Stockman). I went to the little school in Hainton. Headmistress - Mrs Slingsby. Do not remember her deputy, but Miss Officer comes to mind.
Yes, remember it well, lovely small two Classrooms - oh yes, complete with an outside loo. Would walk to school. Route = from our house right out the gate, then a short walk ...see more
I lived in 1a Ethelbert Road from 1968 to 1979. so many happy memories, the plowing match over the 'Butts' , the deep snow every year , and my old mate Duncan Yandle who lived next door.
The sports fields had 3 football pitches and a cricket green. There was a pavilion in one corner of the higher field made of wood with a thatched roof. The pavilion became vandalised and eventually dismantled. It would appear that the fields have not been used for sports for a long time.
My mother was born in Blaenrhondda at the top of the Rhondda Fawr in 1914 and was one of four sisters but she was the only one to leave the Rhondda at the age of fourteen to go into service in England. During WW2 when my father was in the army, my mother and I moved back to my grandmothers house in Clyngwyn Road in Blaenrhondda for a few years, I can vaguely remember attending Blaenrhondda School for a short ...see more
My son Matthew provided the opportunity to once again retrace our well worn steps around this beautiful county and in particular The Lake District. As is our norm it was non-stop driving and walking, although walking is now less attractive to me as old father time lessens my ability to trek as I once did. The "Striding Edge" and "Scafell Pike" just distant memories now as we shuffled around ...see more
John Horrocks the Mill owner and MP - Born 1779 - 1816 was my GGGGGGGGGG Grandfather.
Great memories of Streatham.
I was born and brought up in Streatham and just wondered if anyone remembers a big food store back in the1970’s called “Internationals”?
I too remember Gadsbys the art/gift shop - so interesting to look at everything in there. I also remember Pratts Department store with their lovely old fashioned glass swivel soap dispensers in the toilets they had. They also had a gentleman ...see more
Hi I was only 4/5 when I was at Styal but I remember it was OK. I remember a boy called Michael Cummings an I'm sure there was an Asian Prince also I remember an older girl called Diane who looked after me I remember Miss Walks.
In 1959 I became a pupil at St Michaels School (The Old Vicarage Residential Home) where I stayed for 3 happy years, until I was told it closed after the head disappeared with the school funds. Whether or not this is true I don’t know but I prefer to believe it wasn’t, as for me him and his wife were good people. After school and during the summer holidays me and a couple of the other pupils would go down to Steart ...see more
This is a view across Trearddur Bay, looking south - the beach is known in Welsh as Tywyn Capel. The house behind the beach is Glan-y-Môr built in 1889 and next to it is the Dune Mound which was the location of St.Ffraid’s chapel. Dune in Welsh is ‘Twyn’ so Twyn Capel is correct and it was in the parish of Holyhead . Howver although the title is correct it would probably be better to put this photograph with Trearddur collection.
I stayed there in 1969 when I was 7. Nothing bad happened but it was quite strict. I made friends with Helena Harding. I remember Mrs Jones, and snuck a peek at her annexe.
My son has moved to Pegswood from Berkshire and his son , my grandson goes to this school , He likes it very much and can't say enough good about the teachers , He has settled in well there .
My son and daughter in law like it in Pegswood especially the close proximity to the coast and all the lovely beaches they also spend a lot of time exploring the surrounding beautiful country side , oh ! the Windows in the school are now upvc .😊
When my family moved here I was only 7 and there was only a cottage on the left at bottom of Brae and a row of four terraced houses on the left, they were holiday homes for my grandmother and her sisters. We lived there with no gas, only paraffin globe lamps, and the sink was outside with running cold water where we washed every day come hail or shine. The toilet was a board with a hole cut out over a bucket or ...see more
Lived in Belvue Road until 1970. Attended Northolt Primary by Target roundabout . Remember well the headmistress Miss Wayman and teachers Miss Bottomley and Mrs laprake. Also remember the male teacher with Percy the plimsoll. lOthers in my class were Celia Widows, Felicity Henderson , Geoffrey Bagus and Clive Johns. Later attended Eliots Green until 1963. My maiden name was Braggins.
Used to play in 'the jugle' ...see more

Welling in the Fifties had never been short of colourful characters plying their trade in and around the suburban Streets. I can fondly recall three from my childhood, the most memorable being the old rag and bone man who sat perched on his big wooden cart drawn along by his equally old nag of a horse. He always cried out his arrival with words no one understood, inviting residents to offload their unwanted junk which he ...see more
I attended Queen Elizabeth’s Girls Grammar School from 1954 to 1959, and in 1957 the Queen came to visit. We all had to practise our lessons for ages beforehand (mine was French), and when she came to our classroom she spoke to us in French. We all gathered in the hall for a special assembly, and the head girl presented her with gifts for Charles and Anne (Andrew and Edward hadn’t been born then) and the Queen gave us all an extra ...see more
Not a memory but a question: does anyone have a photo of Mr Pierce? He was headmaster in the 1950s-1960s. I was his dinner monitor for a couple of years
My mum who is 91 now remembers going to New Basford in the 30s to visit a Aunt. She was young and cannot remember her name - it would either have been a Siddall or a Hooley. My mum's grandma was Annie Siddall 1884/1957, her sisters were Beatrice 1879/1971, Florence Ada 1881/1973 who later married Henry Hooley 1874/1948 and brother Albert 1889/1926. If anybody has any information on these families it would be appreciated as I am doing my family tree. Thanks Norman
I remember there used to be trolley buses through the high street, this would have been in the 1940s or 50s, and there was a lending library on the high street that you paid to take a book out. Also a grocers called Williams Brothers , where my mum had to queue with her ration book! On the corner of Alston Road there was a corner shop which sold everything, but was eventually demolished and flats built.
Anybody got any photos from this time? I would love to see them!
TIA !
Hello I am new here after googling Corringham Road, Stanford-le-hope.
I was just wondering if anyone remembers my Mum, Marian Helen Barnes. She lived at 24 Corringham Road around 1954-1957. Unfortunately she has recently passed away and going through her items came across her autograph book and its in excellent condition and there are quite a few names in there!
Her parents were Marjorie and Albert Banes. ...see more
i remember the headmaster caning you backside until it bled, and he soaked the cane in salt water! also his dog walked around the dining room with excrement hanging from his backside!! not happy days for me??
I was born 1943 in Purley Cottage Hospital, lived at 2 The Mount, christened at St Peters and taught at Woodmansterne Primary for a while. Walked to school via Hatch Lane and Rectory Lane and where they joined is, I think, where the photo was taken. The walk, as an unaccompanied 6/7 year old was not considered to be safe and even though the London Borough of Sutton was my home I was transferred to Smitham ...see more
We live in Bells lane and went to Wraybury primary school then to Datchet comprehensive
After school I worked in Griffith village store on Monday Thursday evening and Saturday mornings
Happy memories
In the 1960s winter frost would make going up Greenhead and Glenwhelt Bank too slippery for cars and lorries - they would need to wait for it to thaw. A few wagons crashed into a tree on the right hand bend - it's now a house built by the Waugh family. I noticed the rise of car ownership first hand - the notable increase of new cars stopping for petrol at the Waughs garage. The train station was open, together with ...see more
I am sure my mother worked as a kitchen maid at Guisborough Hall in 1952 when it was possibly a nursing home, Cant find anything about the history in that era. My mothers name at that time was Gorgina Mary Mc Cormick. I always remember a photo she had of herself in her uniform outside the hall. My mother is no longer alive and I am on a discovery of my past so any memories any one may have regarding above would be most welcome. ...see more
Around 3/4 yrs of age- 1948/49 - I came across my first foreign work men coming off the boats at Woolwich. The men wore a rough looking outfit - blue in colour - as I recall. Upon asking my father who they were and where they came from ,he stupidly replied ,'Smoked Irish men' and I believed him until mum said 'Teach the child sense' To this day it has been one of life's unsolved mysteries. Those men looked so poor and ...see more
I was born in Romwood Court, Langley Maidstone on 7th March 1944. My Father was in the Royal Engineers serving in France.
Virginia and I arrived at Loveden Hill in early September of 1972 during the middle of the last major dig on the site. She had found an ad in the Times for volunteers at the site and moved into the farm enclosure in our Citroen van.
We were delighted to find that we would be doing the cataloguing of finds as they came down the hill to the farm house. This meant we would get to see everything and would need some ...see more
Just past Hockley Primary School on the way to the village was a small sweet shop/cafe? and it was run by a really nice man called "Bill". He used to sell 1d lollies to the school children. The shop was right next door to a big oak tree. The oak tree is still there, but sadly the shop is gone.
I wonder if the people who live at the house now built on the land wonder ...see more
I was born in Wellington Street on the 16th. of June 1955. My mother was Kate Holland, formerly Henderson. and my father was George E Holland. Sadly he passed away in 1939. So I dont remember very much about him. I had a great time in my younger years, swimming at the Vic baths, walking down Station Road to the station and buying a penny bar of chocolate from the machine on the wall. My schooling was at ...see more
I was fascinated when I saw the new development of Garndiffaith photo. This photo is of Lasgarn View, Varteg, which is just above the Garn.
I was born in Primrose Cottage in 1951 with my brother as we were twins. My name was Marilyn Jenkins, my twin was Mervyn.
We had so much fun in those days, when we moved to Lasgarn View. Wow, the back of the house lead onto Lasgarn Wood an imaginary world of climbing trees, ...see more
Hi does anyone here know whether The Imperial Laundry was near to Stanmer Road in Battersea in the 1960's
Thank you for your time

In circa 1964 to 1969 I was still at school in Romford ( Clark's College) and had the " hots" for Clare Coles who lived in part of the old house with her mother and father. I think he was the estate manager , he had a Ford Anglia estate car !.
Clare was blonde and tall and my idol but alas she did not have the "hots" for me!
I used to cycle over 15 mls to see her on a Saturday if only for a few ...see more
Light-years before the introduction of the mobile phone, Welling in the 1950's had mobile networks of its own. These were weekly delivery services to households in and around local streets. As a young child I was always excited by the Saturday arrival of the R. White soft drinks lorry and our usual order of lemonade, cream soda and Tizer. I remember well the familiar clinking of glass bottles in wooden ...see more
My parents often told me this story.
My Great Grandfather was John Roberts. His son, my father, Thomas Glyndwr Roberts and my mother Myra Roberts (Evans) as young children were playing on the swings in Blaen Park.
My father was pushing Myra on the swings and she asked him to stop as he was pushing her too high. He said I'll only stop if you say you'll marry me.
She finally agreed ...see more
I moved from Blyth to Seaton Sluice into a newly built house in Cresswell Avenue in 1957. Life as a child in the village was exciting; most days we would either play on the beach and harbour or the new building development behind Parkfield in Easedale. We made camps in the former garden of the demolished Jacobean house at Seaton Lodge and used Starlight Castle in the dene as our own.
At ...see more
The old rest hotel in Kenton always reminds me of the terrific motor cycle accident my uncle Desmond Brennan had coming away from the pub, subsequently had is leg amputated and went into a decline,.
From 1947 I lived in Bedford Road at the top of East Hill but my maternal grandparents lived in the prefabs at the other end of town. The name Blackmans Close sticks in my mind for some reason but I’m not sure if it’s my memory playing tricks - at the age of 75 that seems to happen at times lol. Does anyone remember if there were prefabs in Blackmans Close &, if so, whether that address still exists - I assume the prefabs ...see more
This once sleepy hamlet was first home to me,

Monday morning washdays, roller skates, blue skies.

My grandparents ran a cafe in South Harrow in the 1950s. They were called Thomas and Stella Parsons. We think it was called Parsons Cafe but it may have been called Belmont Cafe or something else in entirely! My dad, Tom Parsons, used to help out there too. Does anyone remember it and remember the name? Any memories most gratefully received.
i lived at 13ward gardens just by the village green.spent my youth there until moving to new zealand when i was 25,spent many a day fishing for sticklebacks in the stream by the pond back in 1964,as i got older spent many an hour in the 3 pubs by the pond,was just looking up my old school in burnham lane [Haymill] tosee that it as been redeveloped,Have great memouries of my youth there.
Ice cream was a special treat in our house back in the 1950's. The brand we had was always Lyons Maid, vanilla or strawberry,
considered superior to Walls. But for those special occasions, especially during summer, we would enjoy an icecream treat at Toni's famous ice cream parlour in Welling High Street. Then early one summer evening while at home in Gipsy Road, the sound of Greensleaves suddenly filled ...see more
I was up Daviot way on holiday recently and wondered what Meallmore lodge was up to . I worked at Meallmore Lodge in the early 70 's as a trainee chef under the watchful eye of the McLeod family . The Meallmore and the McLeod family were fantastic to work for and I was well looked after as I was around 15 years old at the time. HAPPY MEMORIES 🙂

No, we don’t get the snow like we used to! Like it was in 1941, I mean. I was a taxi driver at Dilston Hall then and I used to bike to work. Never missed a day! There was me and the postman all the way from Prudhoe along the road through Riding Mill – just us two. And it’s a canny ...see more
When very young I used to go with my father to the huge allotments opposite the parade of shops in Wrotham Road.
It was always on a Sunday when the hut shop was open for the sale of seed, fertiliser and garden accessories, and it was where he bought seed potatoes and Growmore for his vegetable bed. Then one weekend we discovered chains
on the main gate and the allotments no longer open. Not long after ...see more
Brought my first football kit at Wally Kilminster, was after a full Southampton kit but ended up coming away with a Man City reserve kit as they didn't have my size.
I spent most weekends and school holidays in my Nan's little caravan on Pantymwyn Caravan Park from about 1974. I remember going to Mr Rich's for a gas bottle, going to the water stand as Nan's van was a little old thing lit by gas with no running water. I remember the yearly donkey derby and just happy, happy times in the surroundings of the beautiful village. I did go back a few years ago and Mrs Rich said ...see more
I was born in Barkingside and remember the Holy Trinity Church (Rev. Newman), where I was baptised, confirmed and married. I left in 1965.
Memories abound! Especially riding my bike to Barton's bakery during Easter to buy hot cross buns for breakfast. I seem to remember they were a penny three farthings each. Rossi's lemon ice. Marment's toy store, where my dad would buy model aircraft for us to ...see more
My parents moved from Pentire to Crantock when I was about 3 and Crantock is certainly ingrained in my memory as being my first home. My mother had taken a position as housekeeper to a Dr Nicholas and with it came Rose Cottage. My father worked as a gardener, this was before he took a job with the Western National busses as a conductor. I have memories of him coming home in his gardening clothes, I used to run and meet ...see more

As a Londoner, when my new husband was offered a job in Great Yarmouth in 1964, I was excited, although a bit apprehensive about moving to the small village of Hemsby. We bought a brand new house in a new subdivision at Two Meadows. It backed onto the railway line. I think it was later called Meadow Rise. I was 19. My first two children were born there with a midwife, Nurse Chase and Dr Timothy ? I remember St. Mary's ...see more

My grandfather and great-grandparents lived in one of these houses at this time.
The road has been renamed and renumbered so it is difficult to work out which one.
But nice to have a general idea of the location.

In the early 60s we used to travel to Talacre for a fortnight holiday in a caravan. One year my parents didn't pre-book but we travelled from Liverpool on the off chance we would find a place. I remember my father driving us along the concrete block single track road from Talacre through to Tyn-y-Morfa stopping at various bungalows that we were told may be able to help. We eventually arrived at Mrs ...see more
The Cabin was a significant part of my childhood. We first moved to St Peters, into a rented house opposite the church, then up to a council house in Hugin Avenue.
As I attended St Peters primary and then Dane Court, I passed the Cabin nearly every day.
The original corrugated tin structure was removed and replaced with a larger brick-built structure some years ago.
I have tried, in vain, to find any photos of the original structure. Does anyone have any?
I was brought up from the age of two living in 63 Ashhurst Way and what lovely memories I have got. I was brought up in a large family.

I can remember playing Cowboys and Indians in the field at the bottom of ...see more

June 1940 our primary school The London Oratory was evacuated en masse to Exmouth. I remember arriving at the railway station when we were all put on a coach and went to the Pavilion on the sea front. We then lined up on the stage and local people chose who they would take in to their house. More memories to follow.

My very large family moved into The Chequers in March 1938. It had been a pub many years before and it was very much more suitable for us than our previous three bed roomed council house at Steeple Aston. We were not unknown as we had relatives in the village.
