Nostalgic memories of Bures's local history

Share your own memories of Bures 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.

The Café was run during the majority of the 1970s by an Austrian couple, Norbert and Paula. Paula could have been German, the family moved to Austria after their tenure ended. The children if memory serves me correctly were Heide, Peter and Becki. Our families were friends from when the family lived in Wickham Bishops. Paula and my mother (Inge) were great friends who stayed in contact for many years after the family moved to Austria, but alas contact was lost.
After the war, the cafe was owned by Mr Frank W & Mrs Cecile Gunston, I know this because I married their daughter Margaret. It was the Gunstons that gave the cafe its name.
My dad and mum owned the Threeways Cafe in Bures for a while in the late 1950s, they where Eddie and Margaret Morris. If anyone remembers them I would like to see their memories. Mary
