Nostalgic memories of Islip's local history

Share your own memories of Islip 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 remember my boyhood years in Islip with affection. A favourite summer passtime was catching minnows in the Gallos Brook (affectionately known locally as the Weston Brook, purely because it came to Islip from Weston on the green). We'd be there for hours with our jam jars and a favourite spot was the bridge just outside the village which carried the Oddington road over the brook. It always seemed the most productive spot.
