Hi, can any one help. I was told many years ago when I was a young girl, that there use to be under ground tunnels, that either went through Little Sutton/ Ledsham/Hooton area. These tunnels were for the monks or clergy who had to hide? They went under the area/areas I have mentioned maybe hundred/hundreds of years ago. No one seems to know anything about them? Would they have gone to a monastary? If anyone can shed some light on this I would be grateful, thanks Val
Hi, I am wondering if anyone would possibly have a picture of this house, in World War Two, I don't even know the name of the house, but Percy Linden/Lynden lived in this during the war. His family was the owner of Fletts (not sure of the spelling) Sauce. I don't think he ever married, he had a dog called Jack, and when he use to come out the pub, he would often get ...see more

Here in Australia I recently watched a re-run on cable TV of an episode of 'Location Location Location' that was originally shown a few years ago. They featured a house in Little Sutton and I've been trying to work out whereabouts it is. They showed scenes of Ledsham Road with Russell Dumbell's carpet shop, (hello Russell and Carol), Berwick Road and also Chester Road.
The house was vey nice, and ...see more
Dear All, there are certainly many fine memories of Little Sutton on this web-site...bravo I was more of a Great Sutton lad myself. I lived off Sutton Way, near the roundabout. Went to the Primary school next door. Then on to Mill Lane and eventually to Chester Art College, Handbridge. As a kid and during those warm sunny, never ending school holidays, if I wasn't out catching ...see more
I don't have a memory, but I'm looking for information. Can anyone please tell me where Cuba Cottages Little Sutton were in the 1920's? Thank you for any help. Sheila
Hi Paul
Yes, I went to New Zealand, not Aussie. I remember being a good mate of you and also Steve Howard. Married Barbara Foxon from Upton and we have two Kiwi sons.
I remember the fair and the circus at the new library site. As a kid it was just magical.
I also went to Berwick Road School, Mrs Mclaren was my teacher, the thought of her sends shivers up my back even now.
I worked for Angus Collin ...see more
I remember going to Rivacre Baths and playing in the fountain near the entrance, I kicked and splashed but managed to kick the wall so hard my nail eventually went black and fell off. I was very young then but remember walking ALL the way from Princes Road (near the Prinny) to the baths on many a hot summers day with my friends as I got older. I'm in my fifties now and have fond and not so fond memories of the baths, and how many of you used to bunk in through the missing railings?
I moved with my family to live in Heath Lane in early 1956, just at the end of the side road leading to the 'rec'. At that time, it was a country lane with high hedges and there were fields where Granville Drive now is. Reynolds the builder built some of the houses in Heath Lane and Heath Grove and Warringtons built the houses in the Granville Drive area. Seth Hughes, headmaster of the Berwick Road school, ...see more
Just discovered this site (07/01/2011). Such a lot of recognisable names, Chris Bennion, Steve Owen, Tony Duncan etc.
You lot have certainly opened my memory bank, what a good time we had at that school and in "the village". I am still bearing a scar on my left wrist after playing with Chris!
Does anybody remember the name of the male teacher who had the first Ford Capri? That was a fine car back ...see more
