My Granny and Grandad Weller, in their cramped semi, took me, my mum and dad, my brother and sister plus 2 billeted soldiers under their loving wing in 1940 and I can honestly say that was the most happy household you ...Read more

Reflections Upon The Changing Face Of Stafford Since 1964
It’s a rather sad fact that you only come to appreciate a town several years after you have left it. At the age of 19 I was sent to live and work in Stafford between 1964 and 1979, before ...Read more

Recollections Of Letchworth Swimming Pool, From Mid 60's

The trees are also much taller today, creating a mature-looking landscape.
Traffic lights now stand on this corner, which is much busier today than in the relatively quiet days of motoring.
The mill was destroyed by fire in 1963: only the millpond and a few brick arches now survive.
The house to the right of the arched entrance at the far end of the street is where the poet Chaucer once lived.
When we compare this picture with 84689 (pages 43-44), it is interesting to see just how much the trees had grown in the thirty years that had passed between.
First recorded in 1478, its granite arches were widened on the far, downstream, side in 1874.
Its walls are hidden beneath some rather tatty rendering, but are almost certainly made of granite, which can be seen in the arch below the gable, and in the horse trough in which the little boy is standing
The Post Office c1960 Buckland St Mary Post Office is still a post office, but one wonders for how much longer.
Much grander is Bath Street. Its name is appropriate, as its architecture is perhaps reminiscent of some of the later 18th-century parts of Bath itself.
Much of this interesting cross church dates back to the 13th century. A monastery which stood here in the 9th century was given to the Church of Worcester.
The arch is that to the 1911 pipe bridge that carries Lincoln’s water from Nottinghamshire. The present footbridge is a Victorian one placed here in 1987.
The building has a great number of vertical beams not much more than a hand's span apart.
The earlier picture shows little traffic bar the donkey cart, but the advent of the car meant that by 1949 a traffic warden was needed to control traffic through the arch.
There was not much of an audience to watch the troops as they marched past the Black Swan Hotel in the centre of the picture, although there were a few curious bystanders.
The four-centred arches cover a short chancel. The stained glass in the east window is by Wailes, 1849. The north aisle's north-east window is by Kempe, 1900.
The chancel arch is Norman, with scalloped zigzags. The north and south arcades have four bays and three bays respectively.
Much of its wealth and subsequent Victorian building was a result of prosperity based on rope, sacking and string making. The 20th century has added modern shopping centres and a leisure complex.
By this time the humble fishing cobles had developed into a sizeable fishing fleet of much larger boats, which meant that they could travel further afield for their catch.
Tantallon was the stronghold of the Douglases, wardens of the Border Marches, lords of Galloway, and by the end of the 15th century masters of much of Lothian, Stirlingshire and Clydesdale.
The inscription above the arch proclaims: 'To the Memory of Humphry Millett Grylls'. It was erected to this local worthy in 1834, and paid for by public subscription.
The view looking north in the Churchyard in the mid 1950s was much the same then as it is today. In 1963, a well was found in the premises fac- ing us, then Wendy's Hat Shop.
Work on the building was finished by J A Gotch, a Northamptonshire architect, who roofed it and filled in the arches.
Originally with its ground floor open behind the arches, it was left unfinished, amazingly, for over three centuries, and finally completed in 1895.
This is the A15 road coming in from Bourne, which makes the traffic island a very busy place - it is now much smaller than it is in the picture.
