This train belonged to my dad in the 80's, his name was Jack Whittaker and his work partner was Dougie Smith. They also ran the kiosk next to the train which sold sweets, candyfloss etc. Sadly my dad passed away in 2006, but would love to know who remembers him. Wonderful childhood memories..
My nan - Francis Bowen moved to Blaencaerau from the Rhondda at the age of 7. Married Idris Bowen (my grandad) who worked in Caerau Colliery and then Midcast. Living in Blaencaerau didn't change in many years as I shared a lot of the same outdoor activities as my nan, and my mother after her. Slidding down Billy's tip on pieces of cardboard, playing in the river where the water came from ...see more
My dad worked on the farm from 1955 to1971, he was called Eugen Luczynski. I have many happy memories of life then; we lived in a farm cottage on Yarningale Common surrounded by the fields belonging to the farm - I remember summer evenings watching the combine harvester or the baler and sometimes I would be allowed to ride back to the farm on top of the stack of straw bales, dodging the trees on the way! The farm had ...see more
I have a picture of the whole school in the playground celebrating the Queens Coronation. We all got a Coronation mug or cup to take home
I was born in Barnsley in 1950 and lived in Hemsworth. I use to go to the pictures on a Saturday morning with my pals and ride my pretend horse home afterwards. I don't know the name of our street but you could walk out of the front door, cross over and go down the dirt path to the main road. I think the market was there and on the other side was the picture house with chippy close by. My dad, who was Polish, worked ...see more
Looking for anyone who remembers my husband's mother, Hannah Onion, she gave birth 27th March 1964 and my husband was named John.
I first came to Torquay in 1966 at the age of 16 with my mate noddy. We traveled on Yellow ways from Oldham Lancs which cost £4-£5 return and took around 10-12 hours.

From 1978 and for many years I brought my family down to stay at The ...see more
I was born in Stepney and grew up in Hatherley Gardens. Fond memories of Brampton Junior School and especially Miss Aylward and Mr Price. Went on to the Grammar School and spent lunch wandering up and down the high street with a bag of chips bought for a shilling, l think. I remember the shops in the Barking Road, especially the Economic Stores owned by Mr and Mrs Wise. The post office opposite used to sell the most ...see more
From 1955 to 1961 I spent the best years of my school days with wonderful friends - it was brilliant there. My teachers were Mrs Payne, Mrs Davies and Mr Griffiths. Mrs Lewis and Mrs Bright and head teacher Mr Lloyd. There was a sports ground at the back. The only problem was the toilets - they were outside and in the winter the water froze in the toilets.
I was born in Coleman Street, Ardwick, in December 1939, just as war broke out.
I went to St Aloysius school. I have a book full of photos, memories of St Aloysuis etc. and I still remember every street in Ardwick, all the lovely homely, friendly people. You can take the girl out of Ardwick. but you cannot take Ardwick out of the girl.

My parents and I moved to Hunmanby in 1950, from Scarborough. I was 11 yrs old and attended the elementary school on Stonegate.

My stables and paddock were at the back of the farm, which I believe is now a housing ...see more
I really do remember Baines Bros bike shop - good memories. I bought my BSA there and met all the boys on our bikes at seven thirty every night there - then we looked at the bikes and went to the grotto at Knaresbrough, then on to Wetherby or anywhere there were any more bikes. I loved those days, Peter Dunning (mechanic ex Rowland Winn) still messing with bikes (they are called classics now) in my shed now in Milton Keynes.....
I was born in Palace Road in 1940. I remember the bombing and in particular sitting on the steps watching a doodlebug fly over. The area was eventually evacuated and we, with others, were sent to Wimslow, near Manchester.

Our play ground - bomb sites, we were never bored - no toys but lots of friends.
I would not ...see more
It is not possible to see Bridlington from Reighton. This is the view across Filey Bay towards Filey and Filey Brigg.

My father had been working as a plumber/heating engineer for a few years when he was offered a staff house. We lived in the cottages until I was 18 when we took over my grandparents house. My childhood was very happy in a very 'close' community. I always felt safe and secure within ...see more

I spent a lot of my social time at the Anchor. Does anyone recal when the dart boards were made of wood and the landlord would leave them to soak in the river opposite. It somehow seemed so much deeper then. The landlord and his wife were Charlie and Dolly Raymond, such nice people. As with pub life then, there was always plenty of characters. Daisy and Vi Bell, Ken Cowerd, Matt Sharp, Gordon Nicoll, Dick ...see more
For anyone remembering Fearnan: At last! A masterfully crafted short history of the beautiful hamlet of Fearnan in the Perthshire Highlands, has been recorded for posterity by Ian McGregor
This once vibrant crofters' village nestled on the shores of Loch Tay where I grew up during the war, has been all but passed over and lost in the mists of time. But now it's ...see more
I was also born at Perivale Maternity but in 1942. We lived for many years in Oldfield Lane three doors away from the Station which I remember the P.O.Ws working on. I finished my school years at Costons Sec. Living and growing up in Greenford was a wonderful life for a child, we seemed to have a freedom children in this age do not have maybe it was because we did not have much. I ...see more

I lived in nearby Harcourt Road. My late grandfather used to mow the grass and prepare it for the annual remembrance parade and open air service.
During the hot summers the green would be packed by drinkers from the "Dukes Head" which is in the photo on the right.
The green was the centrepiece for a parade of shops, both on Croydon Road and Manor Road. It brought together a small but friendly community, many ...see more
1871 onwards.
While researching my family history I have stumbled across an ancestor who was the daughter of the landlord (then known as a Beer Retailer) of the Hare and Hounds which in 1871 was known as The Hare and Hounds Inn. At the time it was being run by the BODLE family, linked to my ancestors by marrying into the LELLIOTT family.
I am wondering if there is anyone who has any information about the pub and it's history etc or memories of the establishment.
I was born at Waldegrave Terrace, Radstock but moved to Elm Tree Avenue, Westfield a mile or so up the hill in 1952 when I was 6. I used to go to Miss Hill's infant school at the top of Bath Old Hill and my sister went to St Nicholas junior school. When it was time to go home I had to come down the hill and wait outside the Bell Hotel for my sister to come and meet and take me home. She was only a ...see more
1960 - I was only seven then, but I spent every summer until I was eighteen at my grandmother's house in School Street - 'number nine' - strange name for a house but that's what everyone called it.
Every Wednesday (or was it Thursday) afternoon - early closing and Stryd Fawr (High Street) was always this deserted!
The width of Stryd Fawr is staggering - planners had carefully laid out the lower area ...see more

School was only half days for a while and when my brother started he had to go to neighbouring houses where the teachers came, rather than at Ray Lodge School, Woodford Bridge.

I lived at either 159 or 259 Milburn Rd so remember as child going to that corner shop, being about 5 yrs of age, watching as mum bought cheese and butter - they cut big slabs from whole rounds and wrappped it in paper. I also remember Raffies icecream shop which was opposite our house - he sold slabs of icecream and dad's favourite, licorice.
We lived in the sandstone house on the corner, mum and dad ...see more
I vividly remember the 6.5 special being filmed in what was in the 1950s and 1960s "The Lido" then became The Nova. There were competitions at the Lido in the weeks leading up to it when the winners were given tickets for the show and danced in the area where the cameras were placed so they may be featured on the programme.
I was seen on TV by mum and dad, but not dancing but sitting on the ...see more
Yes, I well remember the old Kingsland, I used to go there every Saturday night and one fateful night in late April 1955 I met my wife to be. She lived in Higher Tranmere and when we got engaged we switched to the Park Ballroom to avoid all the fights at the Kingsland. The Mikes, Byrne Ave baths and the Haigh Hall in Moreton were good dances as well. Happy Days A. Harry Hardy

The bout he won was in aid of the Cheerful Sparrow ward at the hospital. The fight was so unusual because the spectators were throwing money ...see more
At the side of the Prince Albert there was a Club called The Cavalier Club, everyone came from all surrounding areas. The DJ played all the records, everyone danced, the blokes all wore suits and ties. It was the best club ever.
Christmas Eve was a magical time at Lulworth. As a member of the choir I remember how we went around the village singing carols. There was no electricity in most of the village at the time and most cottages used lamps and candles. The church was lit by candles and was a lovely sight in the evenings.
I remember when I was a 10 year old going to my grandfather's two brother's farm in Lurgan. We had great times there collecting the eggs and getting the water from the well - lots of happy memories.They both died when I was in my teens.

I remember Danson Park from the 1950's. It is situated in between Welling and Bexleyheath in Kent, now an outer London Borough and is still worth a visit. There is a big house in the park which has now been restored by English Heritage, a nice rose garden and "The Stables" which is now a restaurant. There was also a Lido on the south side near the A2 road but this was closed many years ago. My father was a keen ...see more

I remember these playing fields being flooded by the Roding on a fairly regular basis. From the main road there was the clinic where mums used to go to get free orange juice and I think milk for their babies. Also, they could get baby's health checked, weight etc. Does anyone else remember this?
I started at Feltham Hill School in 1950 at the age of five. I was the youngest of four children Jackie, Betty and Bobby - Mr Shattock was the Headmaster. We moved from Feltham to Ashford, Middlesex and I attended Echelford Juniors. Miss Tottle was my teacher.

My father went to a post-secondary school in Radwell about 1928 for further education, fitting him for going into a bank (his father wanted him to do it, but in the end he never did!). The family records say he went to Radcliffe House, but I can't find any trace of it.
There was Jack Deverall who ran the sweet shop opposite the Bear Inn; he was a kindly gentleman who was very gracious, I took back extra change that he had given me in error, and my reward for my honesty was 2 half crowns at the time - I never forgot that. I had a long walk from Conway Road every week to the Scout Hall in the Triangle. 63rd Reading Scout Troop. Loved the sweet shop in the Triangle too, and the smooth ...see more
Re Bob Warren. I was 11 yrs old in 1964 but was only there for maybe 6 months. Mr Goslin still had two legs then.

William and Ernest were her brothers, and Cyril Taylor and Herbert Taylor were her step brothers. I have memories of going to my grandma's in the early 50's to watch her television. It was a very small TV, but it was good ...see more
My memories of the Londesborough in the mid to late sixties was that it was one of the city's music pubs. Around 1966 local bands (called groups then) played at the Londesborough, The Coach and Horses and the Burns. The Londesborough was the safest as the other two venues could get a little hefty at times. The name of the best group to play there escapes me but I do remember that Jeff Booth played guitar and Gil Stapleton bass. Both were Leemen Road lads. The beer was an added attraction!
I was born at home in Hartley St in 1944. In our childhood we had fields and a bit of countryside to play in. Everywhere one looked there were textile mill chimneys. At one pm each working day, the workers were called back to work from thier dinners (not lunches in Morley) by hooters that sounded like air raid warnings. There was always the smell of wool in the air and the clattering of the weaving looms. It was a different ...see more
I remember playing in the park, opposite my house in Waun Fawr. Thats as far as I was allowed to go until I learnt how to fool my parents, then it was up to the Blue Lake or the Waun-y-pound usually as we were skipping school!

Does anyone remember the fur shop in Peter Street owned by a Mr Jack Berry? He was a furrier and made coats, hats, gloves etc! He was Jewish and used to drink in the Mermaid. The shop is long gone, sadly, as are lots of Yeovil's shops! Perhaps this will jog someone's memory, I hope so. Looking forward to any memories. Many thanks

My dear father attended Southey Hall in, I'd imagine, the 20's and his name was John David (Arathoon) Webster. It would be a great honour to hear from anyone who might have known him or attended with him.
Does anyone remember the photographers in Lynchford Rd, Farnborough? I am guessing this must have been about 1940-1955. It may have been called County Studios Ltd.

I would prepare the feed bag for his horse whose name was Purcell whilst he ...see more

I first visited my aunt Kathleen O Donohoe in Frodsham in 1961. She worked for Doctor Dickenson and his family at The Knoll. She had also worked at Creewood Hall before that. I found Frodsham to be a lovely place and the people were so friendly, unlike london where I had gone to do my nurse training. The Dickenson family were very kind and welcoming to me. Kathleen had very good friends, George and Mamie ...see more
