Hi, I lived in Hextable from about the age of 9 until I was 17, when I joined the WRAF. We lived in New Road and there was a nursery opposite where we lived and the road was UN made. There was also an agricultural college in College Road.
The school was not there, the site of the school was what we knew as the avenue with a lot of trees where we would walk the dog.
I am going back to the 60's early 70's. I did a ...see more
RECOLLECTIONS OF ASH VALE
By Lt Col Taylor
Ash Vale, viewed from the main route through it the Frimley and Ash Vale roads would not have appeared to alter a lot during the last 100 years.

Sad boat accident Monday morning 26th March 1877 at Ryton. There were two brothers named Scott who lived in a house on Ryton Island, this was just below Moor Court.

My father worked at Chubbs factory around the late 50's and into the 60's. He lived with my Mum and two sisters opposite the factory. I am trying to trace anyone who may have known him working in the factory. He died in 1968. He was called Alan Hammond and my Mum was Gladys Sophia Hammond (formerly Smith). All of my relatives have passed away and I have been trying to find out about him and whether any photographs were taken of employees at the time.

I can remember when this was the main A31! Yes it is very difficult to imagine now that all the traffic from East to West came along this road as well as the traffic from West to East, that is both ways! Yes ALL the traffic as there was no by-pass in those days!! When the volume of vehicles increased, because the road was very narrow, the first shop on the right, after what was Rodways garage, was demolished. This was in the 1960's.
Pauline Stevens.
I was travelling from Hounslow to Bristol on a Blue/Cream coach. No M4 to Bristol then only as far as Reading. We stopped at Maidenhead coach station. Next I remember Marlborough. I alighted and looking around saw the Polly Tearooms. Oh how welcome. I often go back and fondly recall those wonderful days of my youth. John Betjeman featured the Polly Tea Rooms in one of his films. They are timeless in this changing world!
I lived in Moreton Morrell for all of my early years. Fond memories of both Moreton Hall and Moreton Paddox. I remember American armed forces being at Moreton Paddox during the war years, especially the Christmas parties they put on for the local children. Lots of changes over the years, not always for the better.
I started school in September 1945 at Farnworth C of E School in Pit Lane. When I started school my dad worked at the Co Op as "first hand" in various shops in Widnes. Our headmaster was Mr. Turton and he was an excellent man! We had a very good primary education and I sat the 11 plus in the early months of 1951. However I rebelled at the idea that the exam was held on a Saturday! I did not agree ...see more
It was a Sunday morning and I had taken a (red rover underground ticket) and travellved via Baker Street to Amersham. I walked through Parsonage Woods and as I came out of the woods was taken back by the wonderful vista of old Amersham. Could there be a finer view and available by underground any time. I descended and walked around for seversl hours. If paradise was lost, well I surely had found it in 1964!
I was born in Croydon in 1936, and lived In West Way, Shirley. My mother could not bear to part with us, so we lived at home all through the war. A bomb was dropped into the garden next door. After six months it was discovered it had not "gone off!" We were moved up the street while the Army defused it. We were told it was meant to be dropped on the docks. The whole garden was one big hole. I can remember ...see more
Next to the underground depot on the Boston Road was a litte shop called The Acorn. It sold sweetss etc. On the other side of the line where offices are now was Boston Bumps.

Opposite was a little footpath which went down ...see more

I like these old photos of this site in Chelwood Gate, which I believe is known as Isle of Thorns ?. I visited Chelwood Gate in 1998 whilst attending Downsview Primary, this was when England were playing Argentina at World Cup 98. I can still just about remember the sports hall and the sleeping room. Can also remember a swamp or pond that was nearby as well, unless I'm getting that mixed up with something else. Was a decent trip. E Turan.
I lived in Mill House as a young child in the late 1940s with my parents and grandparents. My Grandfather bought Mill House and the mortgage cost them £2.7.9 (2 pounds 7 shillings and 9pence a month over 21 years (I still have his mortgage book from the Ramsbury Building Society.
Mill house is now valued at £1,000,000 + if only it had stayed in the family-thats life I suppose!
I have lived in Pontefract for most of my life. I was born in 1958. At the age of 3 to 4 years of age I lived with my parents and two younger sisters in a very large detached house on Southgate. It was directly opposite what is now the Dentists, near Stringers garage. Our house was next to what was I believe was a sweet factory. That building has now been renovated and sells carpets. I started at the infants school at ...see more
In the summer of 1966, I (an American) was driving around the UK with a close English friend. In Wales, we found ourselves on a virtually impassable fog-covered road filled with sheep, and drove downhill at 1 mile per hour into the town of Blaengwynfi. Someone directed us to the vicarage, where we were put up by the vicar, his wife, and his daughter, very glad for the company, who gave us beds with ...see more
