I found the Compton House Hotel one week in 1969 or 1970 when I was consulting to Terry's Chocolates and found all the York hotels full for Race Week. Bob and Wendy (Morton was it?) gave me a great welcome and I stayed there on all future visits, except on a few occasions when they were fully booked.

I was born at 55 Tankerville Road. It was a lovely road with tennis courts and beautiful Chestnut and Oak Trees, which were all removed when the new houses were built there. I was pleased to see on a recent visit that new trees have grown up now and at least one of the beautiful flowering cherries which I used to gaze at as a child was still in the front garden of (I think) number 49. I ...see more

I came across this site by accident and was immediately transported back to the fifties in Uxbridge when I was a teenager. My family lived at Willowbank just over the bridge from Uxbridge towards New Denham. I regularly walked over the bridge passing The Alders club and the Swan & Bottle pub. I didn't realise then what a fabulous place Uxbridge was and how good it was to be a teenager in the fifties. ...see more

The worst part was bath time, we had to sit in tubs and scrub , At the end of the bath the nurse would ...see more
I moved to Radstock in 2014 to live nearer my children. I have spent most of my life living in North Somerset so know the area well.
Radstock is steeped in history being an old mining town.It has a superb museum which gives a good insight to the history of the area.
My flat was built on the sidings of the Somerset and Dorset Railway which closed in 1966.
Have good childhood memories of two weeks camping in July/August between 1977 to 1981 with my grandparents and brother camping at Denes Holiday Camp. Looked forward to going every year and remember two girls I saw each year (Debbie and Debra) who are part of my memories.

I went to the Grove in 1954, I think, as a weekly boarder. I loved Flo Upton's drama and dance classes and was intimidated by Mrs Boronov's acerbic piano teaching style. Anybody else remember doing Midsummer Night's Dream? I think I was one of the fairies though I can't remember which one.Miss Freeman, the headmistress, was scary. Thank heaven she never found out about our midnight feasts! Anybody remember them? I ...see more

Used to go fishing down that end of the pier on Saturday mornings. When we were bored with that we would mess about with the turntable or sit in the guard's van that was left in a siding. Maybe try to light a fire in the burner with some of the BR paperwork left in it to warm us up.

It was then run for a short time by my Aunt, Muriel Braga, until she sold up and moved to a bungalow round the corner. ...see more
I was born in 1963 in bawtry and until a year ago my mum still lived there. I grew up there with many happy memories. I loved looking at at these photos, some of the shops are still the same only different names.

I remember The chocolate Box ...see more

Streets of neat Victorian terraces and our lovely tall terraced houses, right opposite the school, with iron ...see more

I know you could get fresh fish in the inner market and we spent ...see more

I remember passing through in the fifties on the way to West Wycombe. As you approached from London along the A40 you passed a toll house and went under a railway bridge carrying the Loudwater line. On the bridge was a painted an advert for filters which fascinated me as a small boy. In High Wycombe you looked at the shops as you slowed down to negotiate the roads . Finally you emerged and at the end to see THE ...see more

I have been back to see the school (the only known school with a playground on the roof) it is still there but is now an office block. We played on the river, around the river, in the river and sometimes came close to staying in the river. We had fun as only children can. ...see more

I remember a card shop with a ...see more
My grandparents ran The Orpington Cafe in the 50's and I have many memories of being there. At the rear and to one side was a sort of wasteland area, great fun to explore. At the time, my parents lived in Derry Downs, St Mary Cray and helped with the family business.
My sister and I attended Chislehurst Road primary school and I recall there being some sort of partial eclipse of the sun and we took ...see more
In the early 50's aged about 7, Dr. Ebbsworth admitted me to Orpington hospital for the removal of my tonsils and adenoids.

I was a 9 year old boarder at the Meath School for a year in 1981/1982. In those days the school was a state specialist convalescence school for respiratory diseases. I remember my time in Ottershaw fondly. Each week we'd all walk in a group to the nice sweet shop in the village so that we could spend our I think 30p pocket money. The shop attendant was so patient with each of us as we uh'med and ah'ed over ...see more
My mother and father taught at Sheephatch from 1947 to 1956. The figure on the right hand side of this photograph with her back to the camera looks distinctly like my mother, Elizabeth Davies. Could it be her?
I can remember, as a small child, soldiers being given tea and scones by my granny at 96 Coatbridge Road in Ramoan.
This would have been between 1942 and 1945 and the soldiers were part of a detachment based nearby.
Their base was a couple of Nissan huts situated at the corner of Muirdyke Road, (known locally as "The T-Road"), and Coatbridge Road.
I would be grateful for any information anybody can share with ...see more

In the 70's I knew Herbert Slade as a member of the Woburn Green Methodist Church. His family owned the scrapyard . His father had been the village blacksmith working at the rear of the Red Lion Pub. When the pub was refurbished, I took pictures of the forge that they had walked away from leaving almost everything. The entry door could be seen , solidly closed, in the side wall of the pub for a very long time.
I remember being at Coed Bell Cemetery and playing amongst the graves or picking Blundell in the woods beyond.
I remember attending the dances in the Old Town Hall. The promoters use to bus people in from all the local towns - Wem, Ellesmere, Malpas, Nantwich and Wrexham.

There were no disco so you went to dance ...see more

I was born in Chippinghurst Manor on 26 November 1943. I am not sure how long I was at the manor. The reason I was there was because my mother, who lived in Woolwich South East London, was unwell and my grand mother packed her off to Denton because it was calmer. Also, my mother lived within a couple of hundred yards of Woolwich Arsenal - a prime target for enemy bombers. My father was away ...see more

Came across this picture of the Franscican convent. I went there as a boarder as a 4 year old and still shudder at the awful memories I had. Brutal nuns, punishments with a bamboo cane. Hanging out wet sheets on cold mornings. Forced fed greens and cabbage, no hugs whatsoever. Nasty place with nasty memories. Nasty nuns with irish accents. I ran away a couple of times. Ridiculous catholic superstitions. Left when I was ...see more
