Boeth Boy
Dig for me a Boeth boy’s grave
Spare no sweat or time
Measure how I lived my life
Then build for me a shrine
Scroll on the slab of pure gold
I lived a Princely life
For I have gazed the richest prize
Touched their holy grail
I drank good health with merry men
Blue scars adorned their chests
From battles fought below the ground
Now wait their fatal breath
For in my mind they are the kings

I was born in Severn Beach in 1937 and lived in number 11 Ableton Lane, later to become Church Road! I remember the Stockham family very well and the Scrivens, Mrs Lukins, and all along the road, Vowles, Grimes, Tudors, etc etc. I started Pilning school in 1942, going there on the handle bar of my cousin's bike for the first few months and then it was walk it! My maiden name was Washbourne. Severn ...see more
As a Watford football fan this was the most important league game I saw up to 1969. We were in the old Division 3 and towards the end of the season there were three clubs, Swindon, Luton and Watford, all fighting for the two promotion spots to the promised land of Division 2. I couldn't miss this game as it was so vitally important to our promotion chances and yet I was miles away ...see more
My maternal grandfather James William Dukes won 1st prize in the half mile bicycle race (open) in 1903. He won a very impressive afternoon ... tea knives and spoons with mother of pearl handled butter knives etc. which is now in my possession . Does anyone have any memories via family or newspaper reports of this event?
Thankyou.
The East Dart Hotel is located towards the middle of lonely Dartmoor and the drive there has fabulous views of the Tors. Mind you its not easy for a driver to admire the scenery as in the evenings there seem to be hundreds of sheep lying on the road soaking up the warmth from the sun baked tarmac!
I came here on a recent Wednesday evening to meet friends from Dartmoor Border Morris as my ...see more
I attended Sedgeford County Primary School from 1962 to 1966. The Headmaster was a Mr Johnson, extremely nice man, and his daughter Catherine was in my class. My best buddy was David Murphy who I think has subsequently gone to Ireland. The winter of 62-63 was an extremely hard one - the sea froze at Hunstanton and my mum slipped on the ice and broke her wrist. We lived at 3 Minns Estate. We used to cut through ...see more

I was born in Woolwich in 1948. The things I remember of the shops in Powis St; David Greggs was where my mother would send me for ham off the bone, I also remember Biddles Fruit and Veg which was just off the High St. The R.A.C.S. Department Store where I would have my hair cut in the barbers on the top floor. There was also a Men's and Boys Outfitters in Hare St opposite Burton, can't remember the name. It is where my ...see more
Have just received a sepia tone print of this image, this is where my great grandparents used to live, Gerard and Louisa Healey. A lovely keepsake.
On the far right of the picture is Reg. White's Vauxhall (Victor?), parked in front of his fish and chip shop. He and his wife Peg., produced some of the best 'health food' in the business!
I used to wash and polish his car every Saturday morning for 2/6d.
Today I went down memory lane with my mam, Vivian who was brought up in Llanddona - we found the remains of the house she lived in near the school. She has so many happy memories there from being a child up to her twenties. She lived with her grandmother, her mother Ellen, two sisters Jean and Florance and two aunties, Jenny and Florrie. My mam is 83 yrs old now and loves to visit Llanddona when ...see more
I lived on Thinford Street the mail road, behind us were the houses known as The Blocks which only had dirt tracks as roads, no tarmac. We had the church beyond the blocks which was made of impressive stone and on Thinford St we had the tin chapel. Grandad Holmes used to preach a bit in the chapel, everyone called him Grandad though no relation. We had the recreation ground where we all used to play on the swings, ...see more
I remember going to Grandma's on Saturdays - we would walk from her house along Westfield Lane down Westgate on to the Buttermarket. I would love the hand made sweet stall and take ages spending my pennies, perhaps the fruit rock or the little fishes or the coconut mushrooms or cough candy - you could have as much or as little as you could afford. On this market there was a hot pea stall cooked on hot coals - ...see more

Oh ! My god what a shock
I was evacuated to Horningsham in 1941 to live with my mother's aunt Jessie and her husband Billy. He had been gassed in WW1 and worked on the Longleat Estate as a gardener, but I cannot remember their surname.
I could not stand living with them and spent most of my time with the Ford family and eventually moved in with them. I am sure it they lived ...see more
I was called Carol Rowlands and me and my sisters were on the Sunday school anniversaries every year, but we have no photos. We were on them between 1965 and 1970.
We stayed with them when I was aprox 11. They had a wool and baby clothes shop and I believe the name was A.W.Baldock. The shop next door was a sweet shop run by Mrs Swan, she sent me beautiful postcards when we had left & come to Canada.
I went to a school called Cuckfield. I loved Sundays when Grandad would take me & the dogs up to the woods where he could whistle to his heart's content. I can ...see more
As a family we lived at two different addresses in Titley. My father was gamekeeper for General Greenley at Titley Court and we lived in a detached house behind the main house. There was a lake and a deer park further down from our house which we could reach using the Well Walk - now it is entirely overgrown with rhododendrons and you cannot get through. Mum used to cross the lake when she went blackcurrant ...see more
Hello Glaswegians, my father used to tell us tales as children. He told us about a boat he was on many years ago . The boat was in the ocean and tipped over and children were drowned. This was many years ago, but in a park in Glasgow somewhere a memorial was put up for these children - a statue of some king I believe. I am being vague as dad told us so many years ago. Is anyone or ...see more
I have remembered the name of the inn my uncle kept, it was The Holly Bush.
When we were teenagers and bored we would sit on old men's seat at the junction over the bridge and watch the smelly tankies go by. Some of the lads would go tanky hopping and grab on the back for a ride! The girls would wait for any lads go by the sea coalers in their cars. Lynn Smith and Harry Allport and John Robinson - we were all mates.
Remember Old Coulsdon well, moved there when I was 9 or 10 in 1963. My father worked for the CEGB in Croydon. We left Old Coulsdon in 1972 for South Africa where I still stay today. Went to Keston Primary and later to Taunton Manor High, worked at Newby's as a paper boy and also at South Downs Timber Coulsdon on Saturdays and have very fond memories of Oak Hall Youth group Caterham. When I left ...see more
In May 1962, I was 5 years old and lived in Amhurst Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. I stepped out in front of an oncoming brick lorry on the zebra crossing at St Johns Church. I was taken to the Kent and Sussex hospital where my left foot was practically severed through. I was told later by my father that surgeons wanted to amputate my foot, when one of the older surgeons at the hospital at that time ...see more
I went to Carmuirs School. Was there when the Queen was crowned and remember getting a mug at this time. Also remember being in few shows at the school. I was once the magic mirror in Snow White. We lived in Hamilton Street which was very lively with lots of children around. I also remember walking past Alexander's bus station on the way home. Just wish children today could have the same fun and games ...see more
I started school here in September 1966. I remember driving up in my dad's van from the Crossing House at 23 Trent Lane where we lived for my first Day in Mrs Marson's class. The first year classroom was at the far end of the school in this picture.
My brother Anthony and I grew up in Barnes Street/Lee Street where my parents ran an off-licence from about 1953 - 1962. We both went to Miss Caulfield's Preparatory school and my brother went on to Blackburn Grammar School. We used to play in the streets and up at the coppice and the nearby park. I remember Plantation Street as one of the streets we traversed to get to school. David Benson and ...see more
I used to live in Chester Road, and it seemed miles to walk to school. I attended the infants, primary and secondary schools of Downshall, before moving to St. Albans in the 60s. I remember the baker shop in Meads Lane and given the task of buying a loaf, and a loaf of bread arriving home minus all the poppy seeds, no plastic wrappers then, just tissue paper. I too remember Mr Crisp, Miss How and Miss ...see more
I wonder if anyone knows of a childrens home in Northolt. It was around 1958ish my brother's and I were put in the home, it was run by a lady I knew as Auntie Rea.
My eldest brother, Edwin, was too old to reside in the same home as my brother Terry and I, he was in a home nearby so we often saw him.
I remember a piece of land next door to the home where we played, my brothers and I often found old gas ...see more

My grandmother and grandfather brought up their children at (I believe) 16 Gillfield Terrace. Subsequently, my aunt lived in the same cottage. I visited in about 1952 and have, what I think are vivid memories of that extended holiday. Gillfield Terrace was Craigs Road, and I think my grandparents are buried in St Michael's cemetary.
My grandfather was George McNaught. If anyone has any old photos, or any information, I would be most grateful!
I lived in Skegby and at Whitsuntide we would do the Whit walks. The first I can remember I was quite young and sat on a dray cart pulled by horses and decorated up with ribbons, and the older children walked behind the banner of your church and the bands. We always had new clothes for Whit; dress, shoes, hat, gloves ect. We assembled at church (mine was Skegby Methodist on Anchor Hill) and walked to Stanton Hill ...see more
We lived in Langrish village, but seeing there was no school there we had to take the public bus to East Meon School. I remember the first and last days at junior school in East Meon.
The school building was made from local flint stones, with shimmering diamonds (crystal of course) embedded in the flint and the front yard was surrounded with wrought iron railings. It was located next door the the vineyard (now a ...see more

My favourite memories were coming back to Oldham for Christmas, How sad I was when we had to leave. I just loved the dirty houses, ...see more
We had long warm summers with some rain and all the children could play together without too much bickering, our little group lived in a small area from Wren Street to Ashmore Street. Not all the kids went to St Marks School they went to The Monastry, Stanley Grove or Thomas Street but we all had a deep pride in the area where we lived. I lived in Ashmore Street No 34, like all the terraced houses in ...see more
The Jolly Waggoners was situated on the corner of Beggers Hill and Shortcroft Road. I lived with my family at number 28 just around the corner. My early memories were my dad, brother and I going down to the pub on a Sunday to play darts and sip my shandy while mum prepared Sunday dinner. I was about fifteen when I dated the youngest daughter of the landlord and recall building a model glider in their living room. I ...see more
It's not just the church at Ermington which has a crooked spire.The village has a traditional village inn called 'The Crooked Spire'. It's not particularly pretty to look at from the outside as there is just a narrow pavement separating the front door from the many cars parked in the village square. However, this was the venue chosen by The Plymouth Maids, a side of attractive clog morris dancers who know how to ...see more
I have a picture of myself and other children and neighbours at the 1951 Festival Sreet Party at Holgate Road Dagenham, and would love to know if others have memories of the get together.

We had school dinners @ 4d. a day 1/8 ...see more
I was in Heswall Hospital a number of times in the late forties, suffering from Bronchiectasis. I always went into Hugh Owen Thomas ward. It was a long ward seperated by sliding doors, the girls one end, and the boys the other. I remember sleeping out on the verandah every night unless it was raining or foggy! On fine days the nurses would pull our beds out onto the lawn. Every other night ...see more
When I arrived in1946 as a13 year old boy, my first impression of Brown Rigg was how are we all going to stay here. I can remember digging out the swimming pool - we never got swim in it because we all left before it was complete.

I used to work at Tesco's, Delawere Road in the late 50's and remember that one of the workers at Lotus had, over the period of a year taken all the parts for one of their engines and built it up in his bedroom. I also remember the soap powder in the fountain. I was in the Nissen Huts waiting for the new school to be opened and the pub opposite used to be the Crocodile, (Never went in though).
Alas, I have no memories of Camerton. I have never visited this town of my ancestors. I have been to Bath, but at the time never knew of the existence of my family having originated in Camerton. My ancestor was one Isaac Green, who was a thorn in the side of the Rev John Skinner. I have the Rev John Skinner's book and find it so interesting reading about the parishoners of Camerton. ...see more
I really love this lovely old photo. It shows a WW1 British tank which was used in the first world war in France, it was given to the town after the war had ended as a gift. It was stored there for many years until it was scrapped, it fell into poor condtion, as school children used to play on it.
Very sad to see Morling's Ltd, the music shop shut its doors for the final time. I had been
buying in there for over 20 plus years. The staff were very nice to you, nothing was too
much for them, very helpful indeed. You don't get many good shops like that now, they will be sadly missed in Lowesoft.
My name in 1950, was Joan Wood. We lived in Newtonhill but went to Bridge of Muchalls School. It was a lovely little school. We were taught by Miss Betty and Miss Mary Geddes.

Each year we had a bus trip to Montrose of ...see more

I am 65 now, but if I close my eyes I am 10, playing in the cornfields down by MileOak Secondary Modern School, with my brother Graham Burton and some friends, Richard Gere, Suesanne Birchill and Roger Birchill, and others who's name I have forgotten! We used to stack the newly bound hay until it formed a "camp" and we would play for hours or until the farmer chased us, we also played up by the farm at ...see more
Visiting Box Hill brings back many happy family memories. I come from Manchester & we used to visit my aunt & uncle who moved from Kingston to Leatherhead. I loved swimming & this has always been one of my favourite places. I still visit the area when I go south. These memories cover the 60s & early 70s. Lots of picnics, ball games & walks kept everyone thoroughly occupied & happy. How times have changed!!!

Hi can anyone tell me some more info on the Front Street West, which is where I live. I have been here since 2000 and I believe my house used to be an old wine shop many years ago. It would be nice if anyone has any photos or info, thanks.
I was born in 1930 at Rhydyfelin but moved to 37/38 Trehafod Road during 1931 and 1932 via Llwyncelyn. Both my father and grandfather worked at the colliery for a number of years. My grandfather, George Richards, worked there for some time before 1930 and I have an original letter dated 1910 from Captain Seaton in connection with his application for employment. My father worked for a time at the ...see more
Happy days indeed, made lots of friends - after the Sunday bridges hikes we used to race to be first in the dining hall queue. You had a better selection of fancy cakes to choose from if you got there first! Len Johnson was head boy and Ann Rea, I think was head girl at the time. I was in the football team and Len was our top scorer, even with his glasses on. He used to take them off before heading some great goals....
My father was a bobby in the village from 1948 to 1958. I attended Williton C of E Primary school from 1950/6 and recall the Headmaster was a Mr White, and some of the teachers were Miss Chilcott, Mrs Treble and Mr Armstrong.

My brother, Terry Vivash attended Tidworth Down School from 1948 until around 1950 when he was accepted for the Adcroft School of Building in Trowbridge.

The school or rather its successor is now Wellington ...see more
His name was Mr Mathias and his place was in Allison St, my friends and I used to take rags to get enough maoney to go to the pictures. He was well known around the streets.
Doe anyone remember Mr Rossi who had a chip shop Main Rd, Whitletts. He had a coca cola machine with ice cold coke in a glass bottle. He also used to sell the bits of batter that came off the fish - I used to buy a twopenny bag and loved it . Very fond memories of his chip shop.
I am interested in contacting the lady, Margarite Cooke, who said that she used to live at Quarry Mount childrens home.
The house address when I was there, between 1947 and 1957, was Quarry Mount, Greetby Hill, ORMSKIRK, Lancs. The house belonged originally to Lord Stoker and was given to the Church of England Children's Society but I'm not sure just when, but prior to my arrival.

St Augustine the Less was in Hotwells, Bristol, on Hotwells Road oposite Dowry Parade. I think it was demolished after the war, and replaced with a block of flats.
Western Square, Hotwells, was one of two small squares facing Cumberland Basin, Hotwells. I cannot remember the name of the other one, the pub, one of two, was called the Pilot. I knew a lad called Brian Simms in the sea scouts at that time.
My parents, younger brother and I moved to Tidworth in 1938 when I was 3 and my brother 1 year old. I was born in Collingbourne Ducis and we spent a very short time in Ludgershall but, as I understand it, the new council houses were too damp so my father was allocated one of the new War Department houses in Nepaul Road, then known as Zouch Cottages. Owing to his pre-war military experience, my dad was soon ...see more
If my memory is correct, it was Audrey Clayton and Sheila Macdonald - we all used to go to St Pauls youth club as teenagers. A delicate question, but are they or anyone else from that era still with us?
Grant's have a family grave in the local cemetery.
The Grant family were prominent in Dufftown, residing in Amulree Conval Street.
Peter Grant who was Dufftown's master baker, appears to be the name that continued the family name until he died in 1930
