War Memorials

A special selection of photographs from our Archive of the War Memorials that connect us with those who fought and perished in the conflicts that have shaped the world we live in today. "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them."- Laurence Binyon, For The Fallen

Sparked a Memory for you?

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

My mother was Frances Pyper and was evacuated to Hurst Green during the war. Her uncle owned the tea shop .
My grandfather Joseph Bolton was the landlord here from 1925 to 1929
This is a picture of the house I lived in as a 8year old boy, I used to catch trout and eels by hand in the stream/creek. It was called the old mill house, to the left was the old bobbin mill. The driveway was directly opposite to the Bayley Arms.
I believe this was called the bayley arms, in 1959 I lived in the old mill house, the driveway being directly across the road.
