Nostalgic memories of Burton Joyce's local history

Share your own memories of Burton Joyce 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.

River Trent At Burton Joyce

One of the self-closing 'kissing gates' where the watercourse from under the Cattle Arch (St Helen's Grove) reaches the Trent. All the riverside land was owned by Nottingham Corporation (Stoke Farm or Bulcote Farm) back then but now Severn-Trent, I believe. A favourite walk, for many, along the bank of the river.

Burton Joyce Primary School

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.
