Nostalgic memories of Energlyn's local history

Share your own memories of Energlyn 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.

Hi, my family members spent many a year in the Double Diamond and have big birthdays coming up, so I would be grateful for any photos if anyone has any. Thanks xxx
