Recent Memories

Reconnecting with our shared local history.

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.

My most special and enjoyable times in my life were spent at Pagham in one of the hired beach houses on the pebble seafront in the early to mid fifties.

We were the Hobbis family and we lived at 54 Oak tree Lane, Selly Oak with my parents and grandmother. The house was directly opposite the old Selly Oak Hospital.

Selly Oak was always a busy village with many shops and you could walk from one end of Oak tree Lane to the bottom of Selly ...see more

My Great Grand parents owned Stevens Boat Yard and tea gardens at that time. I can't see if the name Stevens is clear on the building at the front of the point of the island but that is what its says. The people in the skiff may also be them I can't see well enough in this small photo. My Great Grand parents were John Richard Stevens (1867 - 1934) and Mary Ann Stevens (1867- 1947) and John's father, Richard, owned the boat yard before him.

My husbands father and brothers and parents owned this Hotel. It received a direct hit by a German bomber and half the family were killed. Jim (my Husband's father) was out and went back to find the scene of destruction and remained traumatised for many years.
I lived on Milling St until I was a year old in 1953. My grandma and grandad Jimmy and Ethel McCombie lived over the Co-op shop. We used to go back there every year for our summer holidays until the mid 60's. God knows how the 11 of us crammed in there with them but they were the happiest times of my life bar none. I'm sure that there were some unfriendly people there like everywhere, but I have to say if there were I never encountered any.
I have this photo hanging on my wall as my Mum Isobel McNaughtan nee Hair taught here for 6yrs till having to leave when she and Dad were married on 6/9/1939. Such a shame I can no longer see this lovely building.

my first job was at The Mayfair on Brixton Hill making underwear for M and S. It was a very noisy Factory full of sewing machines. They played \Music While You Work but the sound of machines almost drowned the music. We all went on a 'works beano' to Brighton. I would love to make contact with anyone who can remember working there. My very good friend was called Margaret Press. It would be wonderful to catch up with her now. My name was then Maureen Meheux.

I loved to travel to Croydon from Carshalton on the Hill every month with my mother before I started school in 1960. After that it was in the school holidays with my mother and brother. I remember being on a trolley bus and seeing the sparks. Once the conductor came off the rail and a man had to get a pole to sort it out. We travelled past Croydon airport, which was then just a private airport I think. I loved to ...see more

I was born in the flat above my Grandmothers Sweet Shop in Wellington Street in 1955. I think it was on the right as you went up the Street just before the chapel that was on the left.

I lived in Runcorn until I was 8 (1960s) and I remember going into town on the bus with my mother. We would always stop at "Le Rendezvous" (which as a child I remember thinking was a very strange word) and she would get a "frothy coffee" (we didn't call it cappuccino back then). It was served in a pyrex cup and saucer. I would usually have Horlicks (made in a specially branded Horlicks whisk machine).
when it was 3 houses, Sumner, Rye, and Denmark. sumner and Rye were either side of the main rd, but Denmark was further along by the sŵimming baths. It must have been from 1955 to 1960 that I was in Sumner house. Does anyone remember Kay Firth?

I hope you will indulge me a little as this memory is not mine but my late mother's. In 1953 my mum was 13 years old. Her name was Eleanor Williamson and she was admitted to Shotley Bridge Hospital into the care of Dr C E M Kellett. She was suffering with Septicemia and was barely clinging to life. This is not an exaggeration by any means. One of the nurses caring for Mum told my grandmother ...see more

Around 1982 my two friends and I were on holiday touring England Scotland and Wales from Canada. We were wanting to tour some of the villages in the Cotswolds and Broadway was our first stop. We stopped for a cup of tea and scones with lovely homemade jam and clotted cream. So yummy! Next for a tour of Broadway Tower and such a view! We could see for miles. A lovely day spent in such a pretty village. It brings back lovely memories of our trip. Janis Craig

Have been in contact with Arnold ? Steve ? Stephens, who lives in the USA , is the son of the late Denis Stephens and claims that he is your cousin (but you have never met ? ) a fact that he seems to regret but he did make reference to your possibly living in Caldy and your associations in the sphere of Rugby Union. He has led a very interesting life and has just recently settled down to retirement.
In 1955, just after my brother was born, we moved from West Ham to Forest Gate (Norwich Road). I was 8 years old and starting a new school was traumatic to say the least. My elder sister was at Plaistow Grammar School, so it did not matter too much to her. I went to Earlham Grove School just round the corner from my road, and soon made some good friends. The school was opposite a Synagogue and every lunchtime it ...see more

I arrived at Blandford in September 1954. B company. Took a little time, but got sort of used to it pretty soon. I remember all the different types. Bankers, plumbers, labourers, carpenters office workers, farmers, etc, etc,. and all types imaginable. Then all had haircuts. All dressed in denims, and hey presto. Everyone looked the same. Six weeks of square bashing. Rifle ranges, lectures ...see more
Saturday morning my sister Cheryl and I and friends would walk down to Severn Beach from Redwick. We went to the pictures which was on the corner opposite the pub The Salmon. If the weather was nice we all went to the outside pool in the afternoon. I remember that I used to jump off the diving board in the deep end of course yet could only doggy paddle. Severn Beach used to have a great fair which was where we spent our early Saturday evenings.

Back in the 1950's, on the way home from the Sacred Heart School, we sometimes used to come down the High Street and go to the blacksmiths. They were located between the duck pond and the bowling green. We used to stand at the doorway and watched as horses were shod, wheels repaired, gates and ornamental fences made from steel. The roar of the furnace, the bellows going, the smell of the hot shoes ...see more

The other game was to walk around the ledges and then jump off. You could break ...see more

This granite archway (just off the Digey) once marked the entranceway to an old Manor House belonging to the Hicks family. The area beyond the arch is still known as Hicks Court.
The alleyway to the left was known as "Pudding Bag Lane" (only one way in and one way out!). The correct name was Capel Court however. The area ( to the everlasting shame of the town council), was swept away in the 1930s for 'redevelopment'. The area it occupied is now a car park at the rear on The Sloop Inn.
I lived in Balham on Carminia Road from 1940 to 1948 and then moved to Slough.
