More about this scene

The hotel façade has not changed, but Boots have moved further along the High Street and the Halifax Bank has replaced Boots. Fortunately for the hotel, it has been taken over by a group of local businessmen, and it looks much, much better now. It was needing a lot of attention, and it at last received it, with a lot of money being spent on its restoration. The signs have disappeared, and it no longer has any connection with Trust Houses Forte. It has resumed its place as a most important part of Grantham's and England's history.

A Selection of Memories from Grantham

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Grantham

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

My Mam was in service in 1920
My last three years at school were spent in the small building at the centre of the picture. At the time what had previously been the Brownlow infants school was an annex to the Girl's Central School hidden behind building to the right. Both buildings now have another use as The Girls Central School was replaced by Walton Girls School on Kitty Briggs Lane back in the mid 1960s
I am SO grateful for this image as it set me off on my visit to Grantham to further research my ancestry. For me, it shows two properties of J.T. Broughton. My ancestors, Hackworth, married into the Broughton family and were in these properties at the time this image was taken. Very exciting. It has brought my research to life. Who knows, maybe that is one of my ancestors standing with the horse outside!
My husband and I married in the building on the right of this photograph in February 1988. I seem to recall the the registry office was moving from one building to another at the time and so this gorgeous old building was used as a temporary venue. The room we married in had dark wooden panelling on the walls and was steeped in history. We then nipped across the road for photographs in the doorway of St Wulfrums Church.
