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.

Does anyone remember my mother? Her name was Margaret Joyce Goldman. She sang at the Clay Pigeon pub I believe and met my father, Robert Shillinglaw there. This happened in the early 1940s. She passed away a couple of years ago and if anyone knew of her I would love to hear. She came from the Greenford Road originally.
