Grandparents

I was in Featherstone at the weekend and visited Cressys Corner as my grandparents lived there in the 1960s. I'm doing our family tree and visited various places in Featherstone. It all looks so different to when I was growing up ...Read more

Bull Lane

I can almost see Bull Lane from there. We lived in 'Summerfield' half way up that lane. I remember Mr Wilbey's Ironmongers. He had a massive walrus moustache, and a shop that was a genuine museum in itself. There was Woodwards Store ...Read more

Home

I was born in Grassington in March 1953, in a small cottage in a row of three on Chaple Street. They were known as the "Monkey Houses", as they are probably, still known today. By true locals anyway. My father was born at the town hall as ...Read more

Re. Where's Our Susan?

I was looking at the old Co-op photo of Widnes. I was amazed when I read about Susan. I too lived in South Street. I lived at number 4. It's been many years but I'm almost certain I know you all! Lol! By the way my name is Charlie I was 6 in 1960.

Dating The Photo Of Church Street

Referring to the shot of Church Street, I would say that the date of the photo is more 1949 rather than 'c.1950'. On the hoarding next to the shop two films are advertised. "Whispering Smith" and "The Accused" both ...Read more
