Nostalgic memories of Gateford's local history

Share your own memories of Gateford 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.

I am from Ellesmere Port, in the 1950s we always took our summer holidays at my Aunty Annie's in Manton. Hardwick Road West. Her full name was Mrs A Gornall and she was headmistress at Lincoln Street School, Worksop. We also used to visit my Uncle Tom Owen and Aunty Edith in Gateford. They had a daughter, Beryl, I wonder if she still lives in Worksop. Bll Owen, son of Charles and Irene Owen, who lived in Sealand, north Wales at the time.
