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.

When I was a teenager, staying with my aunt, she took me for a drive through Pleasley Vale and told me that her grandmother, Jane Sanderson, was born in one of the terraced cottages by the Mill. I recently went exploring to show my daughter the birth place of her great-great grandmother. The place was just as beautiful as I remembered it. I wonder if any of Jane Sanderson's descendents still live in the area. I have a large portrait potograph of her.
I lived on Northfield farm in a tied cottage, the farm owner was Frank Wignall who sold it to Bill Sykes who I believe still lives there. I went to Robin Hood infant school, 3 of us had a taxi to take us to school every day. My best friend, David, lived in a terraced row along the riverside in Pleasley Vale. I remember the old man called Johnny who kept all the hedges in trim, everywhere seemed to be so clean, tidy and well kept.
