Nostalgic memories of Rockbeare's local history

Share your own memories of Rockbeare 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.

Childhood Memories

I grew up in the house next to the Crown and Sceptre, I recall sitting on the wall outside the house counting the cars go by. I went to school in Rockbeare and remember the long walk to school. My teachers were Miss Wilsdon and Miss Bennett. Such a long time ago now. I also remember the local Dr, Dr Gipson, having his surgery in Mrs Finnimores front room.
