Tirril

My name is Sandra and I am the little girl on the right of the picture.  I lived at the Post Office with my grandparents, Mr & Mrs Robinson and I have very fond memories of growing up in the village.  The bigger girl with me was Ann Tatters who used to take me to school at Yanwath.

Dad was village copper for several years (our old Police House is now "Peelers" in Thorneydown Road) and had a number of people he got on well with.  He tended not to panic too often but one day a message came through that ...Read more

Embarkation Leave

Mrs Barrett, the Post Mistress at that time, gave me a 1947 farthing for luck when I joined the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers in June 1952. She said she had given one to village lads in WW2 and most of them came ...Read more

Rose Cottage Baldersby St James

Childhood In The Village!!

I was devastated in 1964 when my mother told me we were to leave the village so that my mother could pursue her dream of owning her own small business elsewhere. It was a dreadful culture shock, one that has remained ...Read more

Caption For Eastnor, The Post Office C1965

This must rank as one of the most picturesque post offices to be found anywhere in the country. Entry is through the door on the left, and the bulk of the building is a private house.

Caption For Gedling, Main Road C1960

There is very much a Victorian suburban feel here, apart from the 1950s concrete swan-necked lamp-post.

Caption For Mellor Brook, Post Office C1955

Because Samlesbury Hall was so near, the area was popular with walkers and day trippers in the post-war years.

Caption For Madingley, The Ruined Windmill 1909

In common with other mills in the area, it is a post mill, with the mill revolving round the central post.

Caption For Lands End, The Most Southerly Post Box In England C1955

This is not only the most westerly but perhaps also the most ugly and ill-sited post box in England, but it is clearly a place to post those souvenir postcards after a long cycle ride – perhaps from John
