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.

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
Growing up during war years and having to spend many nights in the Anderson shelter at bottom of garden. 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. Sat my 11+ exam at the High School and we had to take sandwiches in case an air raid interrupted the exam. I passed ...see more
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
Stationed at the Naval Air Station, Eglinton, around 1956-57. Nights out in Londonderry, but on a week-end over the border to a small village called "Muff" (civvies' clothes naturally, allowed into the local pub via the back door. Drinking by candle light. "After hours" Then on to the local dance. Midnight, onto the bus and back over the border and back to camp. Often wonder about a young lady I met called Ethna Harley.??
I was born in 1954 in Queens Crescent, Horndean, to Vera and Jim Thomas (both deceased), I had an older brother Roland (deceased). During the war my dad was in the Horndean Homeguard before being called up and my mum tried to join up under age and suceeded in the end. We moved to Drift Road, Catherington, in about 1957. I went to Catherington School under the watchful eye of Miss Reeves the Head, but ...see more

My father of 76 yrs has a problem. He has a photo of himself at the Margate winter gardens on a charity night, as he used to box for the army. He was in the boxing ring with a marine in 1957. He had the report from the paper that has since gone missing. 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.

Plus an old 'Bisley' boy, known as Pot Farrow (stuck in my memory) as he visited at weekends to play table tennis with the pupils. He was also very ...see more
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 have good memories of my first kiss. Monica Kensington and Hazel Oxford pushed me into a hedge a gave me my first smacker. When the snow came we made sleds and went over to the ...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. The only people I have met since are June Goss nee Butterworth, she emigrated to Australia in the '60s and Janet Prince, who moved to Wiltshire. My maiden name was Crosby. Anybody out there who remember me?
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. I never saw him use the cane but I had a bunch of keys hit me round my head from his wife and a member of staff a few times - but I had that stopped after I had someone in to sort them out. We went on holiday to Yorkshire that year at Robin Hoods Bay etc; had a great time, stayed in huts like ...see more

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! We often went to play in Offies buses in the evenings; making dens with the seats!! Then we would go and sit in the bus stop, opposite the Ty Bryn Club with our bag of left over ...see more

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.

I was in the convalescent home around 1954-1955 and have some memories of my stay. My parents would visit at the weekends and any goodies that were brought had to be handed over to staff to be shared amongst the other children, I remember my mum not being very happy with this. Also we had to have spoonfuls of what I think was castor oil and something else in the mornings, maybe rosehip syrup - not very nice. Does anybody else have any memories of staying there?
