Nostalgic memories of Caldicot's local history

Share your own memories of Caldicot 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.

Gardener At The Castle
My grandfather, Arthur Davies, was the head gardener at Caldicot Castle for many years. He was living there when he got married in 1925. At one point they lived in the gatehouse.
