Nostalgic memories of Chappel's local history

Share your own memories of Chappel 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.

My great grandfather and his wife lived in Chappel and my grandfather was born there in 1912. I have 2 lovely images of Chappel which shows my Great Grandmother standing at her door in The Street with her two young children. Above the window it says 'Claude Malyn' shoemaker. She sent a postcard showing the road with an x where her house was. The house and the street look very different today!
