Nostalgic memories of Dogdyke's local history

Share your own memories of Dogdyke 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.

Happy Memories Of Dogdyke
I spent many happy times with my step fathers relatives by the name of Guttridge when I was a small girl in the war years and for a long time after. They had a house on the banks of the river Whitham. The conditions were rather primitive by today's standards. Despite the hard conditions I was very happy during my times spent there.

Childhood
I went to Dogdyke Primary School until i was 13 years old, I lived at Tattershall Bridge. Dogdyke was split by the River Witham, on the Tattershall side was The Packet Inn pub, where the ferry used to cross, and the Dogdyke pumping station. The catchment area for Dogdyke School was Walcot Dales, Chapel Hill, Twenty Foot, we had 3 classrooms and in my latter years a swimming pool.

The Vintner Farm
My father, Dudley David Wright, who lived in a poor section of Grimsby with his foster mother Nellie Fields and was born in 1924 told me of summers he spent in Dogdyke on a farm owned by a Mrs Vintner.

My father later emigrated with my mother, sister and I to Australia and has since died and I have no record of his birth ...see more
