More about this scene

A priory was founded here in the 10th century in honour of the Cornish St Neot, which was later replaced by a Benedictine monastery. The town originally stood on higher agricultural land, and its position on the Ouse was not exploited until the middle ages, with the growth of a market.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Does anyone remember Harold Wyatt and his son young Harold with the scrap yard behind rycroft builders yard.
Me and my family lived here, my parents ran the local taxi service, called Jackson's Taxis, 23 Huntingdon St,nearby was Bartletts the butcher, and Miss Skipper had a real old fashioned sweet shop in East St, I have plenty of happy memories growing up in St Neots. It is really nice to view all the old photos.
I was then Sandra Niven so remember very well Hazel Tomlins Fiona Patterson and Tokumba Audifferen. Mrs Hutton was the Head and her son Graham ran the office he had a stand offish wife and a quiet son that was terrifieď of us girls 👧 🙄
My sister and I were boarders at Cedar House School,St Neots in 1968 before it merged with Morcott Hall School in Rutland. Fitzy moved with us to Morcott Hall. My father left the Army and we eventually settled in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. Amazingly my Mum met Fitzy at her local Church Mothers Union when she was talking about her travels as an Army wife and her daughters attending Boarding School!!!
