Nostalgic memories of Kilnhurst's local history

Share your own memories of Kilnhurst 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 was born at Inglenook in Kilnhurst September 1920. My parents were Ralph Atkin and Ethel Susanna Brader. My memories consist of my parents activities as related to me as a child. My grandfather David Brader was Swinton stationmaster for the Midland Rwy. I am told that David had some children by his first wife Alice and after Alice died he married my grandmother, Sarah who bore Mary,Arthur and my dad, Ralph. If any of these or their offspring are surviving please do post here.
I am researching my Great Grandmother Amy Jenkins and have information from her marriage lines that she was living at the Nags Head when she married George Thomas Roberts in 1896 but can find no further info on this no photos or anything, if you know of anyone who could assist me in this I would appreciate it . We believe from family word of mouth that Amy had been to South Africa and worked her passage back and she could have been the pianist at the pub.
