Nostalgic memories of Pye Bridge's local history

Share your own memories of Pye Bridge 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 love to hear about the rec and how it was part of the childrens day. Why did it get taken away. I love all the stories of pye bridge it is a interesting place to live
I went to the Mission Hall in 1941, for Sunday school reading, the Vertigan family took the classes, this was also the library. Concerts were held there, also tea time parties. Bargies came to the services when they tied up by the canal side. I was born nearby in 1936.
I remember as a kid being in the choir at the mission, in those days we had no choice but to attend, but they were good days, the crossings, the canal.
