This series of photos of the chalets are taken at Colley's Cosy Camp - high up on the bluff overlooking Scarborough bay. To get to the sand and ocean we had to walk out of the camp and down a winding road to the promenade. Great family holidays. There were also a few caravans for rent at the back of the property. My family went there a couple of times for two weeks in the summer the last being in 1959. ...see more
My twin & I attended The School of S.Mary & S. Anne in Abbots Bromley from 1960-1968; two younger sisters joined us later. Swimming lessons took place in this unheated outdoor pool during the summer term. I well remember divesting our warm uniforms, in the covered changing room alongside the pool, with the wind whistling through the large gaps at both head and ankle level - chilly! Yet, ...see more
I was stunned to see this photograph of my dad and me taken at Swalecliffe. We started to go to Seaview Camp in 1949 and in 1950 dad, who was a carpenter and joiner by trade, built us a chalet in our back garden and transported it in pieces to Swalecliffe and erected it on site. We were now the proud owners of one of only two chalets on the site which had an upstairs. Our chalet number ...see more
i remember this photo very well , on the see saw is my brother keith macmanus and the other end of the see saw is christine roberts (good days ) my brother went on to become a royal marine , how fast time flies

Does anyone else remember the Autumn Sports held in August with the parade of morris dancers not the usual type, they all had bells on their pumps and were very like the American Majorettes, we used to watch it from the top of Canal Street then they used to have competitions on the Roodee afterwards.
SERVICES HERE LAST SUNDAY OF JUNE JULY AND AUGUST
THE CHURCH WAS CLEANED AND PAINTED THROUGHOUT BY MEMBERS OF ST TEILO'S CHURCH, LITTLE DID THEY KNOW THEY WERE COVERING ANCIENT PAINTINGS!!
BOX PEWS, TRIPLE PULPIT AND LEPERS' WINDOW, ALL MISSING NOW FROM THE REBUILT CHURCH AT ST FAGAN'S.
Happy memories.
My Greatgreatgrandmother loaned the money to build the Almshouses in Seal. Her husband Ben Corke was well known in the village and was a builder/carpenter as well as being the local surveyor and overseer which was quite an important position in days gone by. Several Corkes are buried in Seal Churchyard.
I lived at 59 Station Road, Royston. My parents moved there in the very early 1960's and I was born in 1969 and my brother David in 1972.
It was a semi, with what seemed to be a garden that went on forever. I was always at the shop on Station Road run by Gwen Miller and her husband Cyril. So it was us, the Haigh's at 59, then the Jobson's, and at 63 the Pagan's. We all loved going to Abeldy or ...see more
I worked at Wannock Tea Gardens during the school holidays.
I remember all the slices of Bread we had to butter and I still make sure that it reaches out to each corner.
We really had to work hard carrying heavy crockery to the many out-building where the parties were fed.
I remember that all the workers would sit down after the gardens closed and clear up the food - and how much us youngest looked forward to ...see more
My twin sister, Anne, and I were born a month prematurely in July 1950. We were baptised shortly after, in the special ancient font, in St. Mary's. 3 years ago, my 86 year old father & I revisited St. Mary's to see the font and were thrilled to also find the Mothers' Union banner my mother used to carry.
My Name is Eric Harrington I lived in Park Lane West. Netherton.Having failed the Eleven Plus In 1950 I found myself as a pupil of "litherland " Secondary Modern [Or The Senni as it was affectionally called} My first Teacher was Mr Morgan and our Headmaster Was Mr Sheard
My Best Friends In Those Early Days were Roy Joynson .Roy Lived in Bridge Lane Netherton
and Billy Davidson.Billy and I both played in the School football team.
Nancledra Days
1946 was the year that our family life in Nancledra began. What a relief it must have been to our parents, Peggy and Arthur Caddick to move into Windswept Cottage. The war years in London were over and they both felt a huge sense of freedom and hope for the future.
Windswept cottage had been sadly neglected and required fumigating but they were not deterred. They had, at last, found the home ...see more
My name was Annie Sorrell. Moved to Margery Rd in the early sixties and the gates to the park, where the swimming pool was situated, were at the bottom of our short street. Spent all day, everyday in the swimming pool during the summer school holidays with my friend Carol Holt. It had three diving boards and a spring board. Loved the spring board. Also had a buffet area where you could buy a hot oxo drink and sunbathe till you was ready to go back into the water. Happy, happy days
During the 70's my family moved to Winterborne Stickland,. We moved into the 'new houses', Downfield Close, shown in one of the pictures. Life was idyllic: the village had the Post Office, a butchers, two shops, a garage with 2 fuel pumps (full lead and 2 star) as known then and a public house. The summers always seemed so warm and the winters so cold, but as a child it did not matter, all we looked ...see more
I wonder if anyone has contact with others of this time. Jean Mumby, Dot Pinder. we were all cricket fans of Denis Compton, Bill Edrich etc. love to hear from anyone still alive. regards Joan nee Shearsmith
The lady pushing the pushchair is my Nan Phyllis Hardwell, the lady stood next to her is my great nan Sarah-Jane Steventon and the baby (that you can't see) in the pushchair is my mum Jane Cooke. Unaware that this photo was being taken at the time my Nan recognised herself on a postcard that was for sale in the post office in Worle Highstreet and again when the picture was for sale in Boots! I have just given my nan this photo framed for her 94th birthday in February and she was delighted.
i have come across a photo of 4 lads and a gentleman at calenick bridge in a book 'industrial archaeology of cornwall' but do not know what year and unfortunately unable to produce here but if anyone know of this photo can tell me what year and by such luck know who are in the photo thank you
We currently live in this house, or to be correct the two cottages on the left which have been knocked through and made one, and luckily now with Central heating is quite warm and cosy. Like Mike and Rachael next door whom have also posted on this site, we also moved in in 2012, we love it, the views, surroundings, great neighbours, river running through the garden and the two pubs within yards could not be more perfect. ...see more
On the left is the entrance to Victoria Park, just where the car is parked. Originally there were lovely wrought iron gates which Queen Victoria had opened on the dedication of the park. The council had them removed much to everyones dismay. That must have been in the '50s?
In the middle distance on the right is the old police station.
i spent lots of holidays at the miners holiday centre with my family i went on to work at dawdon colliery i visit skegness often but would like to go and revisit the centre what is it called now the chaletys were basic and we had great times in the ballroom march of the mods was a favourite
We lived @ 52 Derwent Parade above Harry Fenton's outfitters. Mum work at Phillips sweet shop beside the stairs to the flats above.
Other shops included Watts furniture, the Co Op, Woollies and the sensational , or so we thought, Sainsburys
Happy days in a good community of people who remembered the privations of the East End.
As my Nan said people had hearts now they have purses.
We left for Nottinghsm in 1969.
To laugh and to sing
On a beautiful spring day
Wild flowers is abundance
In the month of May
Bluebell and buttercups,
Primroses galore
Mother's words of wisdom
We chose to ignore

Having a wonderful time

I lived at 3 Briar Lane from birth in 1951 until we moved to Derby in 1962. I went to Forest Street primary and remember some of the teachers, Palin, Woodward and the evil head teacher Mr. Ackerley who delighted in caning pupils in public for minor misdeeds. He made left hander’s change over at mealtimes in the refectory or he would cane them (would be classed as child abuse today!). We made ice ...see more
My Grandfather owned a butchers shop in Agincourt Square around this time and I wonder if that is him stood outside with the long apron on.
My father was also born there in 1913.
The surname was Davies

I remember going down into the basement at Chiesmans department store to meet Santa Claus, the picture looks as if it was taken from the roof of Chiesmans. This was around 66/68. Later I would take the 108B single decker bus from Catford to Bexleyheath, and would have to crowd into the bus with the St. Josephs Academy and St Teresa crowds.
Gosh, from aged 8-12 years I was here. Now 30 years later I am still friends with girls who were here. It was just awful. We got locked in rooms for 24-48 hours with just bread, water and no electricity for doing absolutely nothing. I remember being hit, ridiculed and we were not allowed to wash properly, have mirrors or watch TV. Warped. Unfortunately my local priest today remembers the nuns/priest here. It would put you off the Catholic Church.
My mother June grew up in Balham & she lived above her parents shop Bedford Hill stores. It was on Bedford Hill and backed onto Hildreth Street market. Her father was David Glicksman. I would love to locate any photos of the store or any memories.
born in Dunfermline in 1972 I lived in Sinclair drive directly opposite what we called the bing which was the site of the mossbeath colliery which after redevelopment became known as the red ash. then moving to the dalbeath area in which I still live to this day. but growing up in cowdenbeath like many kids I grew up with the stock car racing which I am still involved with today albeit at the track in ...see more

I was born in Burslem and lived on Waterloo Road across from Macintyres pottery from 1949 until 1957 when we moved to Lancashire. Macintyres had a clock tower and we would check it in the morning before leaving for school. I began school at St. John's and then went to North Road C P.

The swimming baths were not Victorian they were opened in about 1935 and part of the new fire and police station. (The Reigate baths were in castle field road and these were old probably Edwardian).
I went there when they opened the Redhill baths when they were opened to show the public around. I was 8 yrs old so what impressed me were the boilers and the huge pile of coke to warm the water. I still have card that ...see more

After attending Loughton County High School for Girls from 1952 to 1958, I then continued my education at Harlow College of Further Education. This was a two year full time Course, supposedly including languages - lack of language teachers makes me add this bit! - but I so enjoyed learning shorthand and typing along with business studies. Miss Hopkins (who later married and became Mrs Major) was such a good and ...see more
I remember Moot House. I had moved to Harlow New Town in 1952 as a ten year old girl with my family and in my teens I cleared the tables and washed up in a café in the House on Saturdays. As I was too young to be employed and paid, I had sweets as a "reward". Couldn't do that today. Ha! ha!
Anne Wells (now Hackett)
I remember collecting the Sunday papers from the back door of Ropers house before the shop was built, and an order for a cake could be placed to be made for birthdays and other occasions, I forget the name now of the lady who made these wonderful cakes.
when I was 10 my younger sister was 8 and the twins with five , we were sent to St Clare's convent. We were in sister Catherines' flat she was very good to us but we were only there for a year before returning home to our family in south Wales, the year was 1971
We also had a carer that came in her name was Jennifer I remember her putting my hair in ringlets, she would encourage us to do our homework.
although only having good memories of our time there we were all glad to get back home.
Hi Brian good to hear from you I contacted Ron Mobbs about four years ago and he is well please let me know what your up to.
I have one of the earliest known photographs of the building that occupied the site in the 1800's.
The house was started as a 'Beer House' by a Frederick Smith circa 1851. It underwent a rebuild by Richard King c1898, and included a 'Tea House' along side. The King family were also Timber Merchants in Brent Street, Hendon, and Highfield Road, Golders Green. At the start of the 20th Century Frederick King ...see more

Does anybody remember butterworths? I was so young but I remember it so clearly.
I remember living on Perry Vale above the old bus garage, and my brother and I would go to Horniman Museum, then go about 400 yards behind and there was a castlelated building consisting of a basement first and second floor then you could go to the roof and there was a parapet around and you could see for miles, as kids we were told that one of the fires was lit there regarding Spanish Armada ...see more

Moving in day was just as the winter began, not long before Christmas 1947, and it ...see more
As a school girl (50+years ago!) when this beautiful old building was as you say, a book shop, it had a toy department on the top floor set up for the Christmas period. I was one of the Saturaday girls who worked over the Christmas holiday in the department. It was a lovely place to work, and a very happy time.
Such a lovely swimming pool. In summer it was always so popular you were given a time limit on the use of a locker, then you took your clothes and put them in the seating area, and took it in turns to watch them. There was hardly an inch to move.

Between 1961 and 1964 I attended the The Matlock Teachers Training College at Rockside and was resident at Rockwood for 3 years. It was a wonderful time for me with my highlight being the co-organising of the double decker bus trip to Moscow in 1964 when we took 42 students on a travel experience behind the iron curtain to discover first hand how communism really 'worked'. We drove a green 1951 Leyland PD1 Low ...see more

Was the waggon ever found after it was stolen?
When there was snow on the ground in the 60s people used to hair down the common on anything they could find to sit on. I don't know how many people carried on off the Common and landed on the road as there was nothing to stop them. Scarry looking
back. I went on to work at the Collony and then Chalfont Hospital.
I remember going regularly to see films there and also to the amateur dramatic society shows as well
As a young lad in the mid & late '70's I'd cycle up from Shepton Mallet with all my fishing tackle strapped to the bike & in a rucksack. A friend's parents had a farm in East Horrington, & I'd kip in a barn.

My parents moved down from Aberdeen when I was 15 Mths Old we first lived at 107A Ecclesbourne Rd right opposite the Elementary School, I see the tenements still exist. They were owned by the Andrew Family who used to come around weekly to collect the rent, Dad became the handy man for Mr Andrew, his job was to carry out repairs to the flats, we lived there until just after Dunkirk, we then moved into a House at the top end of Ecclesbourne Rd, number 32.
The Cove Cafe, a simple structure on the steps at Hayle beach, dates back many years to the early 20th Century, and is still amazingly in existence today, the tides and weather have not claimed it.

Does anyone have a photograph of the part of the main road where Mrs.Booth's shop was situated? Or perhaps the garage belonging to Mr. Booth?

The garage was below the railway line going towards Highgate. A friend asked me if I knew of ...see more
