I can only just remember this scene, as I was in the army awaiting a compassionate discharge. I was at Deepcut in Blackdown when I met this lovely girl called Shelia. She was very fond of horses and as I remember she was into show jumping. I was given a job at the stables. I became very friendly with her and her boyfriend, Tony, and I was invited to her 16th birthday party at her mum and dad's house. The house ...see more
My mother died recently aged 89 in South Africa. I am currently writing an article on her life and have discovered from her brother that she passed her 11 plus exams to enter Romford County High School in 1933/34. She always spoke fondly of the school and mentioned that she had a teacher that used to travel a great deal and used to entertain the class with exploits of her travels. Mum met my father in the last world war and they immigrated to South Africa where she settled.
I believe I was in LMTH from 1953 until 1962 with breaks in between. This was due to polio which meant many operations on my right leg. I can recall a Sister Smith. I do recall going outside with our beds, and shunting the beds around the ward in the evening to be closer to our pals to play games. I also recall, due to boredom, we somehow managed to tie a fishing line to the on/off switch to the large radio ...see more
I used to see some poor wretched people tramping the roads when I was a kid. I remember one particular man, news went quickly round that a tramp was on his way up Skirbeck Quarter. As kids we would stand at the top of Pulvertoft Lane to gaze at them as they walked by. This man was wearing two shoe boxes tied with string, he was shuffeling along making a scraping noise with each step; his clothes looked as ...see more
Our parents bought Little thatch in the 1970's as a weekend cottage, and we loved it.
One night, staying there with my husband, we heard a rapping on the front door.
The time was very late pm, and we thought ''could it be [relatives] who live at Manton calling''? I thought it was very late for them, as they were elderly, but opened the door anyway, and there was no one there. [maybe 10 ...see more
Although born in Hackbridge, and bombed out also, we lived with my grandparents at 142 London Road and went to the infants school, junior, and then Elmwood. I was in 4B later, I think it was a bit of a rebel's class. Fred Barty would walk us to the canteen, pick up the old powdered milk tins, and thats what we used to make stuff. We seemed to get the slipper a lot and when I wouldn't let Stacey cane me ...see more
Me and my partner, Michael, moved in to number 1 Lion Cottages in March 2012. We love the house and its history, the village is quaint and idyllic, a perfect setting. Michael is 6 foot tall and cannot stand up in all areas of the house, but this adds to the character, a small sacrifice to make.
Briefly, I have acquired a doctor's bag, I believe belonged to Dr C Hirst of Pillowell near Lydney, Glos. It was left by a lady who was born and brought up in Lydney. It is not in pristine condition but it seems a shame to discard it if a historical society in the Forest of Dean area could add it to a collection of local memorabilia.

Just reading an input by John Lampitt, I remember him playing for Stuarts in goal, when the Rich brothers played, Bonner, Crater & Freddie. I myself played later for them in aprox 1977, but I recall everytime John got the ball, all those watching would shout "LAMPITT JOHNNIE". Even to this day it brings a smile to my face as it is now as I text this message, what great times.
The ruins of Ashby Castle also hold memories. Some are of sitting at school, gazing morosely out of the window while well-intentioned teachers attempted to impart the joys of adding up using letters. At the ripe old age of 10, I felt that algebra was an unreasonable confusion of reading letters and understanding mathematics to make incomprehensible jumble of otherwise meaningful ciphers. Another reason ...see more
Still on my travels on Memory Lane I browsed past St Helens. This was always a place of seasonal visits: Christmas, Easter and Harvest Festival. I must admit that Easter visits do not live long in my memory, and Harvest Festival seemed to be an exercise in pyramids of tins of things your mum didn’t need urgently. The Mayans would have been proud of our ironically, heathen ziggurats of Spam, tuna, ...see more
My mum and my nanna use to take my brother and me here alot in the mid 60s. We were very young. I was born in 1962 and my brother 1965. Happy days!
I was born in 1962 and remember walking along this street with my mum and my brother in his pram. He was born in 1965. Many a happy memory I have of those days. We lived in Robson Close, Carlton, till we moved to Leeds. Also remembering my grandparents, God bless.
My earliest memories are of the married quarters, well into the interior of the barracks of the Dorset Regiment. My father had escaped the poverty of the East End of London in 1923. By 1937 he was a very formidable sergeant of the Second Battalion of the Dorsets.
I used to run through the archway of the keep every morning to the Grove School and I was all of about six years old. ...see more
Born in 1961, growing up with my grandparents on Prebendal Ave, great memories. Little shops by the old brook, catching tadpoles, Ceely Rd school also Oak Green - seems like a mystery now. I lived in Aylesbury until I was 16, my grandparents had died. I cannot not find any photos of my past - did I even exist? My grandfather, Mr Thomas Henry Rettey, used to carry the mace for the Mayor and I was to give flowers to ...see more
I worked here at Addenbrooke's Hospital (old site) from 1966 - 1969, before moving on to the new site. Best years of my life living and working in Cambridge during this period. Anyone else here at that time?
I remember in my summer hols helping an American/Canadian couple to move the gold coloured Budda and other things into their place, ready for the monks arrival. They used to grow all their own veg and herbs there and it was a big eye opener for a Biddulph lad of my age...... great memories.
I've discovered, my great uncle, James Henry Inger, ran a bookselling shop at 22 Irongate around 1896, also a stall in the market hall selling books, magazines and prints.
Spent my childhood years from the age of nine living in the pub with mum and dad, Sylvia and Percy Knight. Good times.
My brother Christopher and I first went down to school at Visitation Convent, Bridport in September 1957. We lived in Ascot as our father had been an officer in the Royal Horse Guards and had been based at Windsor. We took a train to Reading and then a GWR express running from Paddington to Newton Abbot.
Travelling to boarding school on a steam train was a complete Harry Potter experience. I can still recall ...see more
My father was stationed at Princetown as a prison officer during the war, having transferred from the Isle of Wight (Parkhurst). So you can imagine that in 1941, coming from the heavy aerial warfare over Southern England to the remoteness of Dartmoor was quite a change and although I was only 5, I recall that move very well and also how idyllic living on Dartmoor was at that time. We used to live in Grosvenor House ...see more
Basildon has an interesting history, for it was ‘reinvented’ not once, but twice. At the start of the 19th century Basildon was a small rural parish, bounded on the west by Laindon, Dunton, Langdon Hills and Lee Chapel, and on the south and east by Vange, Pitsea and Nevendon. They were quiet, agricultural places – but an agricultural depression in the 1870s caused landowners to look for new uses ...see more
Essex has the unhappy distinction of having executed more witches than any other county in England’s history, and the first major trial for witchcraft itself, as the main indictment, took place in Chelmsford in 1566 when 63-year-old Agnes Waterhouse of Hatfield Peverell was found guilty and hanged. One of the most unpleasant characters in the county’s story was Matthew Hopkins, who lived at ...see more
Harlow as we know it today was the first London-area ‘New Town’ to result from the Town and Country Planning Act of 1946, a long-term plan to build a number of new towns around London to ease the housing crisis after the Second World War, when thousands of London families had lost their homes. The small village that was there before the new town arrived is known as Old Harlow, just to the east of the modern town. The new ...see more
I have been researching my name which is very rare and found that a Scottish family of that name were farm workers at Cleugh Head Farm in the 1851 Census.
I cannot find any subsequent information as to where they went but I presume they must have emigrated.
Not likely that anyone can give me information, but perhaps the local church or farm's records?
Best regards,

My nana was born in Orange Street, South Shields. Can anyone tell me where Orange Street was situated in South Shields? My nana was born 1892, Alice Duffie, sisters Mary and Isabella. Any help would be most appreciated, as yet again I have hit a brick wall thanks x
Brought up at 10 Polmuir Road from 1953 till 1962, I have great memories of the xmas times we had there; putting a stocking at the foot of the bed and a pillowslip for the goodies, my two sisters Moira and Mary playing with their dolls. The family name is McMillan and my dad worked in the pits at Kirconnell, we were friends with the Capbells from across the road.
My dad, Davie, had a big blue van and we used to ...see more
Born and grew up in Wembley and recall Wally Kilmisters model shop at the triangle and Simpson American cars too. Also there was an underground market opposite Ealing Road. I think Rumbles school uniform shop stilll exists. Other points of interest; deMarcos Ice cream opposites the Regal Cinema, Killips department store, the cherry tree night club, west lakes sweet shop and wembley music salon.
My nan lived at 10 Forest Lane, Maryland Point. Some times I would stay with her and my Auntie Conny. When my nan had her coal delivered, the coalman would lift a cover up by the side of the front door, the coal was empitied down into the cellar, the delivery men had 2 large cart horses that pulled the coal wagon along. The milkman also delivered with a horse and cart, and a bag would hang around the ...see more
I remember attending this school and have a school photograph of all pupils. I know the school is not there anymore, but cannot find any information relating to this school, does anyone know of it?
Gosh, where do I begin. I suppose I'm asking for help here, as well as sharing memories. My mam was Gwenfron Elizabeth (Williams back then I think), she used to live up on a farm at the top of a long hill coming off the centre of Pentraeth. If I remember rightly there was a little quaint shop at the bottom of the hill. Nain on the farm used to make the best chips ever! However, ...see more
I was born at Voyce Farm near Wichenford in 1937. I started school at Wichenford in 1942. My first teacher was miss Connie Alcott who was loved by every kid and adult in the area. I remember fondly Arthur Palmers bakery and the smell of his fresh baked buns, which tasted so good. I remember my first crush on a girl. We were both five at the time and remained friends for years. In the war years we had to ...see more
I would like to know if anyone remembers the Cutmore family in Waltham Road, my former name was Stow, and I was good friends with Pam Hayden that lived at 129. But I would like to contact the Cutmores if anyone knows where they are.
Thank you

Smokey Joe! I lived off Sidcup Hill - on a quiet Sunday afternoon, you could hear him rolling
down the hill with no tyres on his bike as noisy as , the police locked him up and gave a good wash in the winter I was told.
Wow, a lot of water under the bridge since I worked there. I worked there from about 1962
for about 12-14mths ,before embarking into the motor trade.
Dees of Sidcup and they are no longer there also, great memories & great people. Jim, Ralph, the manager George, etc I loved preparing the seafood for display. Started to see the start of the appearance of scooters and motorbikes from the high street, I ...see more
I lived in Church Street, Staines, which ran down to the river. I was there from 1965 till 1986. I used to swim in the river up to Staines Bridge and back. Some days would go for a drink in the Bells. You would meet your local vicar who was Sam Kimble, he was a good friend to most people. It was a very pleasent place to live. I worked at Petters, it was a big factory.
The Haven was built and opened as the Odeon cinema on 17th August 1937 with `Dark Journey`. In 1976, it was taken over by the Classic cinema group, and run part-time on cinema/bingo, until it was sold to Haven Enterprise Ltd, and renamed Haven Theatre, opening on 2nd December 1981 with `Caligula` as their first film. Closed after on fire on 15th May 1987, last film screened was `The Colour of Money`. Later demolished and ...see more
I was 12 years old when this photograph was taken. I lived in a public house, just out of camera shot, called The Castle Inn. The only building left today is the Institute Clock Tower. Looking at this site today, you would see The Freedom Bridge roundabout and the Jobseekers office. In this tiny piece of Wisbech there was a grocer store, owned by a Mr Franklin, a wet fish shop, a hairdressers, a sweet shop owned by ...see more
For those of you that don't know, if you are driving along Churchill Road in a Westerly direction, approaching Freedom Bridge Roundabout, this is where you would be in the picture.
I was born in Breech Lane, Walton on the Hill, 1940. My wife was also born in the village so we also have great memories and would love to make contact with old school friends.
I was born in Chelmsford in 1956. My mother, Dr Joy Stuart Morton, was the medical practitioner at Bridge Home from 1957 (I think) until 1960. We lived in Avenue Road and sometimes the patients would come and help in the garden. She was an amazing woman and she was only in her early thirties when she had this huge responsibility.
She was tiny and often talked about the large male security nurse who used to accompany her on her rounds.
I never went to Stubbington House School, however, I have lived in Stubbington for 70 years. I loved the buildings and the daffodils on the front lawn, the walled kitchen garden on the corner of Bells Lane; the school was almost self sufficient with a dairy and kitchen garden surrounded by high walls in Bells Lane.
I remember the buildings by the entrance in Stubbington Lane ...see more
I had great times at the pub boatyard and the surrounding area. In the summer months I would work in the little shop in the boatyard selling fizzy drinks and hiring out the boats and canoes. In between jobs I would swim in the weir pool and do a bit of fishing, which in those days was simply awesome, I caught some huge Tench and Bream in the river by the boatyard and some whopping great Chub ...see more
Please can anyone help me with locating where this hotel was. My dad was in the army and my mother died in 1963 and we lived in the hotel for a while. I now live not far away but I have memories but cannot get my bearings as the hotel is no longer there. Can anyone help !!
Hi, my father was brought up by his mum and dad in the grounds of the hospital. He had 3 brothers, Eric, Bert and Len. His name was Ray. He met my mother there as she worked in the main hospital, I think about 1948/9, her name was Lena Hobman. Mother has passed away but just wondered if any one remembers any of the family as we know very little of these times. Thank you, Brenda.
My parents owned a fish and chip shop just off Whit Lane at No1 Kent Street. The shop was damaged during the blitz, Dec 1940. Dad was away in the RAF, we were under the stairs sheltering when the bomb hit us. We were very lucky and just suffered a few cuts, apart from that and being filthy we were ok .
Mother took us the live with an aunt in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. It took 18 hours to get there, not including the ...see more
I used to pal out with a guy called Jack Evans who lived with his parents next to the Brown Cow pub on Albion Street, Salford, before they were moved to Little Hulton.
That was 55 years ago. I have some pleasant memories of the area. I lost touch with Jack and am still wondering if he is still with us.
I joined Horsham Sea Cadets IN 1973, I am a CPO at the unit at the moment. Is there anybody who knows the date when the Horsham Sea Cadet unit opened in 1942. It was then called T.S. UNA. during the 1960`s it was changed to their present name T.S. GLORY. We know it was our birthday this year but no one knew when exactly when the unit opened. We know it was named after the Submarine HMS Una which was paid for ...see more
My father worked for Bristol Water Works and we lived at Pitt Cottage from 1948 until 1956 when it was demolished. We then moved to Doversdown, Whitesfield Road and I worked for Horlicks Dairies in Silver Street until I moved to Hereford in 1970. I have fond memories of copper Genge and I think I know Martin or your brother from holidays we shared. I was known as 'beefy ' Phillips.
My late father, Rev H Roderick Carter, was the Vicar at St Catherines from the early 1950's to about 1968.
Living at the Vicarage meant that we had people coming and going all day, everyday. Mum was very supportive of Dad taking her part in helping to run a very large Parish. The Vicarage garden was large and we had many friends enjoying playing games with us. I loved going out onto the ...see more
I am asking for some help of Swanley. There was a foot bridge built - I'm not sure what year. It was London bound end, just at now the Rainbow Inn chinese. I, as a child, loved that bridge, I think it was built for school children to cross from one side to the other. I at the time was at Birchwood junior school and had to cross the bridge. I so would like to see a picture of it, I've serched but no joy. It was ...see more
I used to visit my aunties and cousins every sunday, and we would play together and bake cakes. I have lost touch with my cousin Jennifer Stocks and would love to get back in touch, if you are out there. I have visited numerous times around the area of Tupton, North Wingfield and Claycross but never found you.
I remember going to the Regent cinema with my first major love, Robert (Mac) McCarthy. We both lived in Baildon. I had always really really liked him and could not believe it when he finished with his girlfriend and asked me out! I used to be so excited and happy when I was with him that I could hardly speak.
Lost touch with him and when I mentioned to a friend that I had tried to find him, my friend said 'Did ...see more
Wow, these photographs have brought back so many happy memories larking around Barn Hill in the mid 50's with a group of similar aged youngsters. It did help living a few streets away. We also had several attempts at carol singing up Barn Hill. I recall, the residents cottoned on very quickly we couldn't sing and we trudged home with just a bag of sweets, never mind it was great fun.
Coldham Hall was a pub much loved by my family on the riverside in Surlingham, about a half mile downstream from Brundall. The landlord at the time the picture was taken was Billy Breach, who also ran a foot ferry across the water from the tiny dock in the left foreground to a small jetty (with summoning bell) immediately opposite on the Brundall side. As I recall from my earliest memories, around 1940, the ...see more
As a young lad in the “swingin 60’s”, the swingin’ rather passed me by … and no regrets there. But the word puts me in mind of the swinging we did do. Just down the lane from Allsopp’s garage – the hallowed source of petrol sold in gallons for shillings and pennies, and Shell’s collectibles such as Roman coins and football cards, was a playground and sports field. This playground was inevitable site of ...see more
I worked as Head Waiter here during Harold Wilsons time as P.M. Richard Marsh and other ministers used to escape here. We had the walker cup here. Our team led by Joe Carr and including a young Peter Oosterhouse. My girfriend was a receptionist from Thaxted Road, Saffron Waldon, called Delma Taylor. Many happy memories !!!
Left Potter St School at 14 years of age. Two years later, without any particular aptitude or skills, I found my way to Marabelle Fabrics. Styled as a wharehouseman, I cycled from Field-End road everyday except Sundays. The business had been bombed out in 1940 at Eastcheap, London. It moved to the safer confines of Northwood.
Large bolts of dress material were delivered from Balloch, Scotland and from ...see more
I have a Bible presented to Mr Clarence Henry Merrill upon his admission to the freedom of the company by patrimony. This was presented to him and signed by A.W Barrett, Master, Salters Hall 6th December 1888. Anyone know anything about these men? The Bible then went to Clarence Denbigh, then on to Mrs Edward Denbigh. It passed through the Merrill family in the U.S. I would like to return it to a historical society if any one is interested! Nancy Taylor
When did 60 Chestnut Avenue get built?
This could not have been as early as 1960 as at that time the Post Office was in a single storey lean-to structure at the right of the main cottage. The main floor of the cottage was converted to the new shop and post office in the late 1960s and the lean-to demolished and the new two storey section you see here was added to the older part of the cottage.
The trust was at the bottom of 9th and 10th, facing the railway station, and then later the
navy club. I was born in Blackhall in Lime Avenue and when I was about 5 we moved to bottom 11th Street. We used to go down to the station to watch the trains.We used to sit outside the trust with a guy near bonfire night. In later years it was called the Chimneys Hotel and restaraunt. I remember some ladies used to ...see more
I have a dear friend who was born and raised in Wellingborough. I am Canadian and he moved here as an adult after teaching in Africa. Although I am not from Wellingborough, I have heard such wonderful stories about it. I would truly love to put some pictures and memories together for him of where he was raised. Any help? I know he speaks fondly of a place called, I think Anne's. It was a bakery where he ...see more
Hi all,
Just need to pick people's brains, I'm looking for anyone who may remember an Isabella Pickering, she was Headmistress at the Frosterley junior mixed school from 1927 until most likely the 40s or 50s, although when she finished in the post I'm unsure. She died in 1955 and was buried at Frosterley, I do hope someone has some memories of her to share.
I have lived in the Altofts village since 1940 and have lots of memories.
At the present time I am writing a book about Altofts by virtue of a grant from The Heritage Lottery Fund, I would be grateful for any memories, photos etc for the book. The book has to be completed before January 2013.
My Telephone number is 01924 893503
Thank you Christine
Does anyone remember an old friend of mine who had the trading post in Betws-y-coed - his name was Frank Phillipson, we grew up together in Wray, Lancashire in the 40s and50s. I believe he is now deceased.
I remember my aunt Bett and uncle Jack Young who lived in Loyd St. The front of house was were you came through the arch under railway line. Bett used to run a little shop out of the scullery at the back. They later worked at the glass works, lovely people, the youngest son did well for himself and moved to Oz, happy days eh.
I worked for a company called Biwater. They had a contract at Broadholme sewrage treatment works near Rushdun. I had lodgings with a family in Lings, John and Margaret Conway. John was originally from S. Wales. He worked at Avon cosmetics, Margaret worked at Tescos, Western Faval. It was like home from home. We'd sometimes go to the nearby pub for a drink, The Sportsman.

Mother and me (few months old) joined my father, Leonard Sowiec, at Miners Hostel, Hardwick Camp, Doe Lea in Septemer 1947 having travelled down from Peterhead, Scotland where my father was previously stationed (Polish Free Forces, Parachute Brigade, Theatre of war Market Garden). I visited Hardwick at a recent WW2 event and no one could remember anything except that they caused a nuisance by 'stealing' locals' bikes ...see more
On the left of this photograph is The Hoy & Helmet pub at South Benfleet, which was originally built in the 15th century, with later extensions. The ‘hoy’ of the pub’s intriguing name was a broad, flat-bottomed sailing boat that was used to transport both cargo like farming produce and passengers along the coast and on the Thames; from this came the nautical cry of ‘Ahoy’, used to hail a ...see more
My Grandad was George (scissors) Jackson. He was a very well known and respected member of the Tilbury community. He ran his florist business from home in Auckland Close, serving many Tilbury families with cheap bouquets, funeral wreaths etc. I remember going to Covent Garden, London on the first morning train out of Tilbury with my nan, Rene, to buy flowers and calling into 'Elvins' shop in Dock Rd on ...see more
Willesley Close was the centre of the universe for the first twelve years of my life from 1959. The garden enclosed twenty yards of the old railway embankment and featured a natural spring, the source of much entertainment in summer, as well as fresh watercress. The house we lived in was on the edge of development so the afternoon ritual of milking the cows was part of my everyday. The farmer from Valley ...see more
A friend is racking her brains trying to remember name of Cafe/Coffee bar frequented by bikers on Victoria Road in a cellar? Possibly Boulevarde ???? Anyone help this girl?
My mum and her sisters and brother moved with my nan to Stockdale Road from the Kings Cross area. She told me that when the rent collector came round on his bike, if he saw a group of women talking by their gate, he would tell them off and say "you are not in London now", plus if he thought your garden was not tidy or your nets not straight, he would put a cross in the rent book. Three crosses and you had to go to ...see more
My mother, Maude Doyle was billeted at a farm in Outwell while stationed at searchlight battery at Sutton Bridge that served as RAF base. Fighter aircraft used the gun butts there to adjust their cone of fire I understand. The farmer's name was Wiles and he and his wife had a son and lived in a tiny cottage and I think they only had room available for one billet. While returning from a dance in Wisbech during the ...see more
In that year a disabled woman was to give birth to a beautiful daughter; she was in every shape and form beautiful. Inch Gala was on where husband wife and baby were to go there simply to get out and about. There was a baby beautiful contest going on where an invite through loud speakers asked mothers to go and have their babies entered. The mother asked the husband if she could enter their daughter where upon he ...see more
I went to Shelfield Junior School and have strong memories of the combined smell of bread being baked, fish and chips being cooked and the smell of horses kept in the stables - all three activities being located in an unmade road at the back of the Infants School. School Street itself was unmade, but the Infants school must have been quite modern for its day - the ...see more
I remember the lake when it was completely frozen over and people were skating on it. I remember the ice moving as you skated.
I was 10 years of age when this photograph was taken in 1955. Ecclefechan was the centre of the world to me at that age. I lived in Castle Acre and had the most wonderful childhood possible. I recall walking the burn under the road from the top of the village to the bottom without the aid of a torch, picking blueberries in the summer on Brownmoor, fishing in the Mein and later, as I got older, the Annan.
