More about this scene

It is remarkable that more than a century after this photograph was taken, Hampton Ferry, to the west of Evesham, still exists, and it still operates in the same way: a cable is strung across the river and the ferryman pulls his boat across. Because of the volume of boating traffic, the cable now tends to be under water except when it is needed.

My maternal grandfather, his siblings and parents lived in Evesham from the late 1890s. My GGrandfather was stationmaster in Evesham His name was John Hall Seal. They lived at 8 Market Square then moved to new houses on Cambria Road. My grandfather was a triplet and they all survived. His triplet brother died in WW1 in France in 1918. I would be interested to know if any family still live in the Evesham area as my Grandfather moved to Birmingham and never returned as far as I am aware
I WENT TO SCHOOL IN EVESHAM I WENT TO THE VALE OF EVESHAM SCHOOL FROM 1972 TO 1978 I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANY ONE HAS ANY PHOTOS FROM THAT TIME OF THE STAFF OR MY SELF AND THE PEOPLE I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH AS I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE COPIES SO I CAN PUT THEM ON THE SCHOOL FACEBOOK PAGE PLEASE CONTACT ME AT vince754@hotmail.co.uk
I used to go to school in Cleeve Prior, we lived in one of the cottages over the road from the village school. I was friends with two girls who lived just outside on the road to Evesham. We all went to Blackminster County Modern after. I would like to get in touch with them; Mavis Spires & Sandra Parks. We loved our time there, lovely village life. My dad was in the army so we moved a lot.
Has anybody any information about Mill House, Hinton on the Green? My grandfather was servant there in about 1881, the family that owned Mill House were called MORRISS, I think it was a farm.
