Reconnecting with our shared local history.
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.

Further to my Dunstaffnage the war years 1942-45. About 10 of us grown up kids meet in Portsmouth for a meal once a year. We plan to meet in September this year. All is welcome.
I grew up in Langstone, living at 'Longleat' on Catsash Road from 1961-1973. I attended Langstone Primary School from 1964-1969 and then Caerleon Comprehensive from 1969-1973. 'Longleat' was one of the four semi-detached houses at the north end of the road and was the third from the end. Running behind the houses was a small stream that originated as a spring in the field north of the house and ended ...see more
My father, John Miller, of Sheffield learned to glide here with his friend Peter Bowen in the late 1950's. He says the closest glider is an Olympia and the next one a trainer. The man standing next to the Olympia's right wing is actually standing on the downside wing to stop the plane blowing over. Dad would spend all Sunday there doing odd jobs and manual labour waiting for ...see more

I was born in Dartford in 1943, moved away many many years ago, have very fond memories. Might visit there this year, now live in Belgium.
I have a photo of myself stood on the Commercial par park. I now live on that same car park known now as Travellers Court. Back then Gisburn had 4 public houses, a Natwest Bank, a butchers, a pottery shop, Rose Ally, a post office/grocery shop and car boot sales on the Auction. Quite a busy village then.
Worked at VG from 1969 to 1972. Mrs Rayner was the manageress and Wednesday night was scrubbing the floor night. Lovely place to work. Happy memories. Started nurse training at Mansfield General in January 1973.
I also went to Bashall school, and remember Miss Arms and Miss Stanley. I have a school photo which must have been taken about 1952. After Miss Stanley, we had Miss Webster and Mrs Leeming. My older brother and my twin brother also went to the school. My best friend in those days, is still my best friend now.
I was in the kindergarten at Carisbrooke Convent when we had a day trip to the zoo. I remember after visiting the animals and eating the peanuts we had bought for the monkeys, we went to a play ground and those of us with a sixpence(2.5p) could buy a ride on the train. It ran on an elevated track pulled by a small black painted tender locomotive, and ran for about 80 yards in a straight line,then reversed ...see more
My Granny and her brother Willy were born in this home in the late 1800's. My grannie was Hettie Annie Cockbill. She left here in the early 1900's to marry my grandfather who was from Stratford. My grandfather had moved to the new world and due to fighting the Kaiser in the first War for Canada, was given a homestead in Saskatchewan, Canada. My grandparents were married in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan at St Albins ...see more
Hi I'm Mike Foster and I was born in Chalfont St Peter in Feb 1936. My mother who had two children; me and my sister, had no where to live. She was offered by some charitable source a two up two down home on the main road between Hamiltons the chip shop and the Rose and Crown pub. It was part of a block of 4 terraced cottages with a communal back yard. The house was wet, cold and infested with every living ...see more
I was born in 1954 and my parents June and Fred Arnold moved into railway cottages shortly after. They renamed the cottage Kadivi Cottage after myself, sister and brother were born (Diane, Karen and Vincent). It still has the name today. They remained in the cottage for 40 years. I used to go up to the shop daily for my mum (I used to annoy a dog in a pen in the shop garden). My mum and myself worked at Dutton hospital, and moved to Halton General when it was built.
My wife and I traveled through Boughton and Greens Norton, on my Greene family ancestor's genealogy trail. We visited the Church of St Bartholomew in Greens Norton, as well as the Church of St John the Baptist in Boughton. The Rector gave us the gate key to the old church ruins about 1/2 mile east of the village, on the northeast corner of what was 'Boughton Green'. We had lunch in the overgrown ...see more
I live in America and my neighbour's ancestors are from Huddersfield. She has a couple of postcards/pictures from Huddersfield from 1880 to early1900's. I'd like to post them here for others to enjoy. I have a postcard from Garth Street, Moore Lane, Market Square. My email is: etennett@hotmail.com
My mom was born in Brentford and lived at 31 Pottery Road. She met my father during the war and moved with him to the West Midlands. My mom's name was Miriam Thomas. We would visit mom's family in the summer holidays and play with the local kids. The ones I can remember were; Jimmy Fiddler, Chris and Andy also Chris and Raymond whose mom's name was Queenie. My grandad, and daughter and son in law, Bob and ...see more
I started school here in 1968. It was a huge change from the tiny 4 classed church school I'd attended! Also, I was just recovering from a serious head injury sustained in a car accident which had almost claimed my life. We learnt Latin, French, English lang and lit, History, Geography, Maths, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Games and PE and Domestic Science. Our teachers were all excellent. Quite ...see more
Worked at the Bay Hotel as a chambermaid, to start with on weekends and school holidays. Worked with great people, and the guests were wounderful too. Very fond memories, met my husband at the disco there, it's a great shame it was demolished. Wounderful place with the fantastic beach.
Hi Lesley, How interesting to hear from you. I was born November 6 1950. My mum who lives with me is 91. She says I would have started at the school in Sept 1955, so we never crossed paths. I guess, Mrs Richards was teaching there for quite a while - at least 11 years. I think I was only in the big room less than a year. I did not like the hot meal – cabbage or something. I went back to England and ...see more
My name is Paul Oates. Well, K.B. and G.P. made my life hell. Only one that was good was Mr Lucas, he was great. Me, Ray Lynch, Mick Duffy and Paul Wattkinson was always running off, but K.B. was like a blood hound and found you; then you had to pick what you wanted to be hit with; belt, slipper or hairbrush does anyone relate to that? He was tough and G.P. would pick you up with your ears, but me and lads had ...see more
We lived in Back Lane probably from 1954 to 1958. I went to the local village school where Mrs Larter taught me italic writing (still commented on to this day) and Mr George was the headmaster. My elder sister was in Mr Stacey's class. When we walked home from school we walked past Milton's cottage up to Three Households. I remember dancing round the maypole on the green - on May Day, I presume. ...see more
I was born in 1941 in Midsummer Avenue. I remember a little park at the top of the avenue. It had a very large air raid shelter in it which people from the avenue and surrouding area could go to during bombing raids. The children would call it a hill and we would play cricket and rounders on top of it. It seems a shame that it has gone now, as it was part of our history. Not far from the avenue was the Wellington ...see more
My mum went to High Legh school in the 1930's and my grandfather and siblings went there in the 1910's. Her name was Doreen Burgess and her father was Percy Burgess. As a child he lived at Oak Tree Farm and later they lived at a house called Wayside on Northwood Lane. My granddad's grandmother was Elizabeth Barber. Does anyone remember any of them?
My sister, Helen, and I lived at No. 3 Plasnewydd Street and, although Helen now lives in Lechlade in Gloucestershire and I have finally come to rest (no, not dead - yet) in Cardiff, we talk every week and often reminisce about our happy childhood in Maesteg - about people and places and things which happened. There are scores and scores of people who we remember and every now and then one of us will bring up a ...see more
Burwood Park School where I stayed for five years as a pupil. I loved the place very much and have fond memories.
I remember going with my mum to visit some old aunt who lived over the Heath, and chasing the geese until they turned and chased me back! I was so frightened of them after that. Sometimes we would stop at the shop by the Pond to buy some sweets, which were a real treat back then. Mother told me to keep clear of the pond as there was a well in it, and some old gentleman who had drunk too much, waded out into the pond and ...see more
I was born in Croft Close 1961, at the top of Osborne Road. I decided today to have a look back at the area. I remember the Old police station which was turned into the driving school, I can remember my journey from Croft Close to go past Eric the green grocers, then there was a dairy- come-cafe. Lucas the paper shop, he used to always say 'what do you want' - I never went back much, my mum used to pay the paper ...see more
That park has been changed through the years. There used to be: a tall swing (about 3 times bigger than the one now), a seasaw that could fit about 10 to 15 people on (if 14 people were on one side and 1 on the other, then he would get fliped off) and there was a few more dangerous things and now they have taken it all down.
Nathan Fisher, Shortstown. (aged 11), 2013.
My name is Frank Wilson and I too have good and bad memories of Mobberley Boys School. I was sent there in 1971 due to being expelled from 3 schools. My fondest memory was jiffing (smoking) in the yard at dinner time, right under the noses of Tommy Tucker and Benny Hill. I was in Carpenter house, Frankie Maffs cat meat pie was another fond memory. Anyone reading this will know what I am referring to, if they to was there ...see more
I used to live up at Luccombe as a child during the begining of the war. We lived at Corydon and I have many happy memories of our time spent there. There were a lot of soldiers billeted at Luccombe. They used to park up their lorries outside my bedroom window and I can hear them now, singing, whistleing and shouting to one another. Some of them used to take time to play with my younger ...see more
I rememeber Allan More, are you still around?
I lived in Bradford in the bungalow my dad designed at the corners. We emigrated to Canada in 1958 - I was 7. My dad came over here first to get work as an architect and a home for us. My mum, older brother, younger sister and I stayed in a caravan behind the pub for 6 weeks. Then we followed dad to Canada on a ship, The Empress of France in June 1958. I had started school in Bradford in the small ...see more
Someone posted they lived in Sandown Crescent in Gorton; my husband Malcolm Davies lived at number 9 Sandown. He played at the Mellands playing fields and the Army camp. The person who lived at number 7 is now in Canada, do you remember Malcolm?
For a few years in the late 1940's (I was about 7/8 years old), my parents were avid campers in the primitive way. We had an Austin 7 and ventured out from east Lancs camping at weekends.
One venue became a regular weekend site - Skirwith Farm, Ingelton. It was tenanted by a family matriarch, Mrs Lambert, and was worked by her two sons, Thomas and Norman. There was also a daughter, Joan, who married the bus ...see more
I was born in 1934 in Southill Rd, Bensham and went to Lady Vernon School, my name in them days was Sheila Lucas. I had a wonderful life in those days. My life revolved round Bensham, the baths in Mulgrave Terrace were freezing cold, the library on Redhaugh Rd and the Saturday cinema at the Bensham. My grandparents lived next door and as I was a only child, I was very spoilt. My grandfather, Arthur Tooth, was ...see more
We moved to 192 Park Road north in 1967, next door to the shop. We used to visit our nan and aunties at No.160 and always called in to the shop for sweets, the old couple who ran the shop were really nice, they sold great ice cream. I remember the old man with white hair and specs...we moved in next door in 67 and made lots of friends. We spent our childhood in the park opposite playing football, cricket and ...see more
I used to walk home past here to my home in Kingsway from the school, and I used to look in the antique shop window which was on the left. If I had money I would go in and buy old coins. When did the shop close?
I was at the school just down the road at Hullbridge County Primary at the time. We had a fund raising event to build a swimming pool (when I last looked a few years back it was still there) and we all put 6 old pence in for tickets which were called bricks. We all went into the playground for the grand draw and I won. I got a 2/6 voucher to spend in the shop and straight after school I went to do ...see more
I am Canadian born, of Welsh parentage, and I became very excited when I saw the name of Pantduu Farm; which to my knowledge was owned by my great grandfather (with the surname James), but whose given name I do not know. At one time, he also owned an ale house called the Ivorites, which my grandfather William Henry James inherited upon his passing. I understand that the Ivorites was ...see more
My parents took over The Chocolate Box, a little general store which sold mostly sweets in 1946. I lived there in the old thatched cottage and the attached house, which was called the new house, as it was only two hundred years old (which also included the shop). I always thought the house we lived in was haunted, and my dad, Russell Oddy, thought so too. In fact, he used to swear ...see more
The 1861 census shows the school being run by John Collard, his wife Elizabeth & assistant Samuel Waters. Two servants Emma Willams and Jane Ward (my relative) with 9 boys as boarders aged 8-13 years. On a recent fact finding mission although the school is listed as part of the Britannia Inn (now Manor Road), it is actually situated behind the pub through an archway of the adjoining building. It is now a ...see more
I remember the H-G fire well. I was sixteen at the time and was on my way home from evening classes at the South West Essex Tech, as it was called in those days, in Longbridge Road Barking. As soon as I left the college on my bike I noticed the glow in the sky and knew it was somewhere near where we were living at the time in Sunnyside Rd. I always rode down Dawlish Drive and by the time I reached South Park ...see more
I was born on Alexander Road in 1944 and moved to 79 Aston Terrace in 1945 and these were one of the best times in my life. We were known as the middle row and I can remember most people in the row; Tylers, Barnses, Davises, Scotts, Hibberts, Hazards, Marshes, Tipples, Jones, Adsetts, Scarfs, Dewicks, Tompkins. I remember we used to go down to a place called 'the hillies' where there was a small pond and sand and ...see more
Does anyone remember Lizzie Tinker who lived in Nicolson Street, and Annie Reid? Lizzie's children; Mary, John, Fred, Madge and Ethel. Annie's children; Billy and Sylvia. Mary's children are; Gloria, Jimmy, Anne, David and Elaine (Casson). Lizzie lived at 77 Nicolson Street, Mary lived near The Mechanics pub.
I was born in 1946 in Dovercourt. I went to Sir Anthony Dean school, I think I was there the first day it was opened. My family name is Oldroyd, and I lived in Oaklands Road. As far as I know I'm the only person from that time who has made a career in music. I have great memories of my childhood in Dovercourt and it would be great to hear from anybody who knew me at that time. One of my first stage appearances ...see more
Does anyone remember the old Edmonton Lido near Jubilee Park? As a kid, I went there most days during the summer.
I remember those incredible gardens just as Laura does. I grew up in Droitwich and we went there often in the 50's and 60's. Whenever we had friends or relatives to stay, it was the place we took them to. I'm not sure how we travelled there as we didn't have a car until the mid 60's - perhaps there was a bus? I just know as a child, I thought they were magical. I haven't been to the area for a long time, so how sad to hear they have been destroyed.
I'm sorry to say my experience at the school was not a happy one, I recall being bullied by other pupils and certain teachers. These memories have stuck with me all my life,I recall one particular incident in R.I. (religious instruction) the teacher at the time (Mr S), for no apparent reason went psycho; picked one pupil up by his hair and literal kicked him up the backside repeatedly down the corridor. ...see more
My gran and aunty Margaret were the last to move out of Pilling Street. I remember Lizzie Whites shop on the corner, playing on chippys roof, sitting on the railway wall and looking over to the turntable - there was no electric. I remember the accumulator man bringing the battery and sitting round the table on Sunday listening to Jimmy Clitheroe. The snow started Christmas Eve that year, and playing out ...see more
My grandad, Joseph Woodgate, was the builder that built a lot of early Wannock Avenue's houses and bungalows. He built Wee Cott - one the first houses to be built which had a very large monkey puzzle tree in the garden, until the hurricane of 1986 and my dad was born there. I have pictures of Hazel Grove under construction and my dad, Ernest Hazel, was named after it. I also have pictures of semi detached houses in ...see more
Tiger H would have been built by John Harker Ltd, Ship Builders, of Knottingley, West Yorskhire.
My father born in Knottingley, was Captain on various John Harker petrol tankers from the 1930's - 50's, in Gloucester. He did not work on Tiger H, but I have heard her being mentioned at various times, when my family would chat about various vessels from those days.
I have been told that Jim Mollison (pilot), husband of Amy Johnson (also pilot), used to frequent the Starboard Club. Can anyone remember where he stayed in Seaview?
I have fond memories of Winchmore Hill where I was born in 1937. We lived in Hadley Way till about 1949, then moved to Slades Hill in Enfield. I went to St Pauls School (Mr Gayler) then Minchenden. I well remember The Intimate Theatre where a 'waitress' with white apron served tea from a trolley in the interval! Also The Capitol cinema and Palmers Green shops - especially Evans and Davies where your money went ...see more
It is not really my memory but something others may or may not remember. My mother's family came from Deeping St James - Sanderson was the name and this relates to a William Sanderson who was killed at the Peakirk crossing in 1918. He was my grandfather's brother. We knew he was married with children. Where are they? Do they remember their dad? Was it a major incident of its day. Nobody in the present family know much about this. Do any of you?
I lived in Leasingthorn with my sister Beryl, we both went to the village school and l have many good memories of village life. My best friend was Jean Errington and the Saturday dance was one of the highlights of our week also the beetle drives with my grandmother, Ethal Willson. My mother was Ruby, her sisters were Lilly and Irene, her brothers were Jack and Robert. Myself, Robert, Denise, Robert jnr, Glyn and Joy ...see more
I moved to Watchfield in 1940 and left in 1950. My dad, Mr Woolman, worked for the army and had his office in Homelees Farm in the camp. What a change has taken place at Watchfield. Gone are the places we could play in safety. The brook is now overgrown and no where to paddle. The cottage at Tuck Mill has gone and the stepping stones are nearly covered in weeds. We used the pathway to Shrivenham and used the ...see more
It was a must in the 1960's. The Carlton was in the High Street near the post office, a few steps were at the front, leading to the entrance and it was always packed. They had a bar upstairs where you stood drinking looking down over the dance floor. Also there was a long row of seats behind an arch to sit and snog, if you wanted to. There was a big glitter ball above. I remember we had all gone to Martin Fords, ...see more
This was our local post office; these shops were a meeting place years ago and everybody new each other then. The shops at Upton Lea then, were very clean outside. On the corner we caught the old buses, jump on & off to Slough.
I lived in Mirador, the road where this pub, the Shaggy Calf, stood. It was a lovely building, it should never have been pulled down. The landlord then, was a tall well built man with a tash (very smart), his wife wore glasses and she often had a pinkish rinse on her hair and wore pearl earrings. I never saw her in the bar, I think she drove a sports car, while Morris (her husband), had a big car. I remember ...see more
Have been looking at my family history and it seems my great grandfather 8 times removed, John Mullett, was born 22.4.1627, married Elizabeth and died in Eythorne in 1701. His son Edward, then moved to the Midlands where the families have been ever since. Can anyone tell me what it is likely they were doing for a living at that time, and are there any Mullett's still in the area?
I can remember playing with my friends on this viaduct as a 10 year old. We used to run along the two walkways running under the track and, if we were feeling really brave/crazy, we would race across the viaduct at track level, hoping that a train wasn't on its way!
Just been reading the memories of others i.e. John Lampitt, so I thought I would share some of mine. My mother went to live in her grandfather's house in New Street in 1940 while my father was fighting the war. She lived there until 2010. She used to tell me there used to be fields at the bottom of the garden, no houses then in Mount Road etc. I remember there being a stable at the bottom of our garden. I was ...see more
I lived on Darren Road, my aunt took me in as an evacuee. My uncle, an electrican looked after the power staion. The pool I remember well, many a happy hour spent there, also the bowling green. Myself and friends used to spend a lot of time going over the bridge to the hillls collecting wimberrys, eating a lot but still able to get enough for a tart.
Hello does anyone remember myself and my two sisters, Maureen, Joan and Susan Humphreys? We lived at Minster Lodge, Ruff Lane, Ormskirk. 'Ada' was the nickname for the headmistress!
In the 1970s... Let me know, please. Regards, Maureen
I use to live at 287 Oldham Road opposite the Forresters Arms public house. I used to play around with Carl Johnston, Angela McLeavly (known as 'bones' in her teens), Michelle Shaw and Carolin Nicholson, they lived on Frank Street. My memories are of going to the chippy on Oldham Road near the old Midland Bank, and spending time playing on Frank Street, and what we called 'the brew' which ...see more
I moved to Rainham in 1953. My memories are on-line in Essex Boy 1949-1959 and also on the Walthamstow Memories website. I lived at 45 Brookway. I went to Rainham school in class of Miss Legg and Mrs Davies...Anyway, see on line. The printed version is in the London Borough of Havering Library and Essex Record Office...
The store refered to was Leader Stores.
The store refered to with all the guns and fishing equipment was, I believe, Leaders Store.
My grandparants lived at 5 Burns Drive in the 1970's. I remember my grandad taking me round the Silver Band Club, and through the woods to Studfall shops and sometimes to the swimming baths. My grandad was the club M.C at the Silver Band in the 60's. They moved to Browning Walk early 80's and I made many friends round there as a kid, and would often play hide and seek round there including Weland Vale shops. ...see more
I lived at 33 Craigweil Ave from the 1955 to 1973 when I moved to Canada. Best friends were Jonathan Matthews who lived next door and Chris Allum who lived around the block on Newberries Ave. I went to Fair Field School at the corner of Watford Road and New Road, then St Columba's College in St Albans. Does anyone remember the big old estate at the corner of The Ave and Shenley Hill, owned by Mr Rose (of Roses ...see more
Very fond memories of Bethersden. I lived I Meadow House, of which you can see the front hedge of here on the left of this picture, just beyond the telegraph pole, in the mid to late 70's. I went to the village school there for a short while and attended Sunday school at St Mary's . I remember the smell of the Hops very well and the woods which we used to play in. Happy times.
I was born in Pitsea in 1949. My parents lived at The Bracknell, Rectory Road. I tried to trace it some years ago with my brother, but sadly could find no trace. I was christened at St Michael's church and my Godmother was Martha Kemp. Again sadly, I can find no trace but would so love to hear from anyone who knew of my family (Marshall). Best wishes, Bella
My family's ancestors come from countryside around Harewood and one of the oldest I have identified was John Norfolk who lived in Eccup in the late 1600's. I have seen several of my Norfolk family graves from the 1800's in the beautiful churchyard at nearby Harewood. John Norfolk's first two children (William 1656 and Anne 1659,) were baptised in Otley Parish ...see more
I was born in Trench in 1948; my father worked at the Granville Pits. We moved to 'The Old Yard' when I was about 4 years old. We had such a good community, the homes were bungalows and houses. We lived in a little bungalow with no heating other than a big old black leaded grate. No running water in the house, just a cold tap in the outhouse, where mum did her washing every Monday by lighting a big copper boiler to ...see more
I remember my father taking me to see Dr Kellarhar as an emergency case; he always took a paper with him and leaving it on purpose, as a thankyou. His surgery was very dark and every thing seemed to be brown. The waiting room was like the most quiet place on earth, everyone spoke in whispers, and it had a reception just inside the door as you went in, and the lady greeted you as you entered.
People have been asking for the words for the song 'Family Silver'. This song does not relate to Kilbirnie other than it was composed by myself. That said, I will wait for Francis Frith getting back to me to see if it is allowed.
There stands the Craig, dark austere majestic, landmark to mariner, constant proud monastic. Lonely place viewed from afar, awesome place much to adore, volcanic rock in form and mode, midst jagged rocks the birds abode. From Paddys Milestone Irish eyes view the coast where Ayrshire lies. Forboding Sentinel and Barren, far different from the hills of Arran, a symbol of the ages gaun, curling stones hewn out by haun, Timeless stands The Craig, ALOFT-- ALOOF--ALONE. by John Allan.
My nanna and granddad owned this house when I was born. Jean Gillespie, my nanna, and Robert Rollo Gillespie, my granddad. My grandad died when I was 2 years old; I lived here with my gran, dad, mum and my sister Katherine. Used to have a rope ladder on the cedar tree next to dining room and drawing room window. My bedroom was above, left, to the front door.
I was brought up in Chelmsford Street, Kirkdale, Liverpool. I went to Daisy Street and Lambeth Road. I moved to Huyton when I married, then Isle of Man. Now we live in Australia. It is a small world. I had good memories of Kirkdale. I would love to know how past friends have moved around.
I remember George Farrel, the Griffins, Barbara Hegarty and Elsie McDonough etc...
I have said that my early life began in Penge in 1947, but that is only as far back as I can remember. Although I was still only two then, I do have a very good memory. I can remember while I was in a pram outside the original Post Office in the lower part of the High Street, the snow fell later than usual that year. That was along on the left side amongst the shops opposite the Police Station. On the ...see more
I just got a personal message from Pat McLaren/Jim Munday, but didn't have the sense to reply immediately and now I've 'lost' it. We are related and I have lots of Census records, birth records which I'd like to share with you. You mentioned being related to Robert Hall and Violet Adelaide (Wales) of Sheriff Hill - they were my grandparents. I was born and raised in Sheriff Hill. My e-mail is rhall36@aol.com and I have ...see more
