Nostalgic memories of Moxley's local history

Share your own memories of Moxley and read what others have said

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.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

I was born in the front room of 9 Burns rd moxley in 1949. my earliest memory is of a street party to celebrate the coronation of the queen. I have many memories of playing over the fields behind the shops and houses there. of course we used to play on the barges on the canal. I remember coming from the weslyan chapel in my best clothes on a sunday afternoon and going to play on the barges, I fell into the canal and lost one of my shoes and ruined my coat. My mother was furious.
I was brought up in Curtin Drive from 1962 to 1972. We moved in to no 45 when I was 6 from Fraiser Street, Bilston. I remember having carefree days playing with my mates in the "sana" or on the "cut". I would love to hear from Russel Johnson, Martin Haris, Christipher Haris, David Mann, Stephen Ball, Clive Dicken, Anne Dainty, Clive Dicken, Denis Ward, Dave Roberts, my name is Paul Maybury.
