Nostalgic memories of Brockweir's local history

Share your own memories of Brockweir and read what others have said

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.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

Fond Memories

I lived at The Lilacs with my great-aunt Mrs Emma Griffiths from approximately 1936 until 1943 when the property was sold and I moved to London with my parents. I attended Brockweir School and later Coleford Grammar School. During the Second World War the bus ran twice a week and a big trip was to Chepstow on the train for the pictures. The Triangle was the local store and Mckenzie Hall the only place for activites. I have been back several times and it still looks pretty much the same.
