Nostalgic memories of Medge Hall's local history

Share your own memories of Medge Hall 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.

Visits To Medge Hall.

Early Years At Medge
I spent my first seven years at Medge Hall, and have fond memories of growing up with my brother Phillip, and baby sister Sheryl. We lived in Crook-a-Moor cottages (the 2nd house from the bridge) until around 1970. My mother and father, Jenny Graham and Winston Noble, had family in the area. My grandfather Bill Graham and his wife Ada lived just up the road, and we had many an adventure around his farmyard.

I can also remember them getting milk from Till's in the old wide-necked milk bottles, there was always a lot of ...see more

Playing On The Farm
Sheila nee Till. I was born at Medgehall in 1935 at the farm near the Signal Box, when I was 3 years old we moved to Groves Farm, Chapel Road which was where my grandfather lived, Mr A W Till.  lived there until I got married in 1957, so I have a lot of good memories of my childhood days: the Chapel where I went to Sunday School, and swimming in the canal. There used to be a school at Medge Hall, we then to High Level School near Black Bull, a school bus would take us there.
