Hi all
I went to Kingsley from 1954 - 1958. My name before marriage was Geraldine Inett. I was in Elgar House and my last teacher was Mrs Harvey. I remember Rita Bird was Head Girl. Can't remember too many names of my class mates other than Pam Fryer, Val Knight and her brother Tony Knight, Iveen Milner, Haydon Cocks and Tony Tobias. Also remember Peter Grainer. Tony T, Tony K, Iveen, Peter, Haydon and myself ...see more

I fondly remember the time I spent in Billinghay as the science teacher at The Lafford School, one of three new schools built at the same time in the 1960's.
I also ran some adult evening classes and one evening was offered a hive of bees from a couple of people with the same name as their offer, Mr and Mrs Bee! I collected the bees on a trolley and, one Saturday morning, wheeled the bees ...see more
Hi there I used to work for Baughans at their manufacturing plant in Braintree and also in their shops in the area. If anybody remembers me or even worked for Baughans it would be nice to chat. I now live in Norwich.
My dad was born in East street Prittlewell in 1918.
I may be wrong but the entrance on the right looks like the entrance into the Doctor’s Surgery. My Doctor was Doctor Summers, an elderly gentleman (well to me). I can remember him once telling my Mum that Australia needed young people like me ( I think I was 8 or 9 at the time) and wouldn’t it be a good idea to send me! I like to think he was joking but who knows.
My name is Jim O'Hanlon. I am 66 years old. I have just discovered this site and have seen a couple of places written about which provoke many nice memories from my childhood and early teens.
I remember Wembley well. It was a bustling town then (1960s). Two cinemas, the Odeon near Copeland School. I used to go and see the double feature on Saturday morning. The comedian,Norman Wisdom ...see more
I lived in Hoar Cross from about 1952 to about 1957. First in Park House and then behind the Estate Office on the main Road. My dad and brother worked for the Meynell Estate. I attended the village school when the headmaster was Mr Bernard Lakin. Happy childhood memories.

My grandparent's on mother's side lived in top flat of Otterburn, Stroncarraig Brae, Rhubaan and my first visit was in August 1938 on a three weeks holiday from my home in Penarth, South Wales. My grandfather had a small open motor boat together with a dinghy. Wakened each morning around 6 or 6.30 I spent an hour or so rowing among the many yachts, getting soaked in a thunderstorm on one occasion. Grandpa Smith took ...see more
I was a Staff Nurse on this ward. We were in a prefabricated building, and had to push patients to theatre with a waterproof covering over them, to protect from the weather. Quite a lot of our patients came from a local home for thalidomide children. Darling resilient tots, who wizzed around on specially made walkers when they were recovering from what ever they were admitted with. I was ...see more
I lived in Victoria Road from 1958 until 1970, going to Bond Road and then Western Road Secondary Girls’ School. Fond memories.
I am with my Dad, peter Brandon, who was also evacuated to the area during the war with his 2 brothers and sister and parents. They were in a terrace of cottages, Dinnaton Cottages south od Swimbridge. he went to Swimbridge school, probably aged 7 in 1940? His broithers were Syd and Jack, and his sister was Wyn. His dad worked in the tannery.
Well, I would like to bring a little history of our wonderful school in St Leonards back to life with the real colour and warmth of the time when I was there in the early sixties.

Having only this week come across your website, with so many writing about their memories of Wembley, I felt inspired to add my memories too. I was born in Pettsgrove Avenue in 1941 and lived there until 1965 when I married a lovely man from the Western Isles. My name then was Sheila Razzall.
I attended Sudbury Primary School, taking the short cut through Vale Farm, past the outdoor swimming pool on to ...see more
Seasalter - A place name from the past for 2 reasons.
No.1 - in the 1960s my paternal grandmother and grandfather had retired from Tooting, Sarf London to Bapchild, Sittingbourne and had acquired a beach hut close by the boating lake.

I lived in Oakwood, then Enfield West, from 1937 till 1946. My father had the Chemists Shop in the Parade, his name was George Reid, and we lived above the shop. Opposite was Victor Sasoon’s Estate, where I think Prisoner of War Officers were imprisoned, during the War. Also in the Parade was a greengrocer, with a Mrs. Crick who had a dog called Sadie.There was also a fish shop, grocers shop and a dairy, ...see more
My family lived here in 1830s and were called Betts. I wonder if anyone was aware about a lady who married a George Betts my 3rd Gt Grandfather, her name was Catharina Nicholson and was from Italy I believe but was born in Greece.

A row of terrace houses leads up to the old parish church of Walmer. The church where the Duke of Wellington worshipped whilst staying at Walmer Castle as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. Some of the dwellings in this terrace were the home of various members of the family of bricklayer John Baker, the brother of My Great Great Great Grandfather. What is now Malvern House, contained ...see more
We have purchased Harbour Sails, Overgang. In the picture you can see that once upon a time there was rather large house sitting in front,which is no longer there, (where the boats are in corner of quay, there’s 2 masts that point to the old house). What happened to it?
My Great Grandfather, William Grundy, was a gamekeeper at Peover Hall from c 1880 to c 1900
I moved into this house after purchasing it 2 months ago, looks a bit different now but still very recognisable. So happy to find this photo.
Thanks
I remember going to Littlehampton for a days outing with the Sunday school in teh late 1950's. I remember there were rides and also in particular a bingo place where I won 6 water glasses with coloured frosting around the edges. Now I wonder if it was Butlins. I didn't know Butlins had a camp there?
Towards the end of WW2, I was evacuated to Bodmin. On arrival, we were taken by coach to a large hall. I suppose there must have been more than a hundred of us. At first, we noisily filled the hall, each with a single suitcase. At the far end, a number of posh looking ladies sat at a long trestle table. Then the locals came in through a side door and surveyed us before picking out someone to take home with them. My ...see more
My name is Jeffrey Turner and I have lived in the Holme Valley all my life. I was born in a little cottage up Goose Green in 1927. Later we moved into a Council house at Cinderhills.

I was born in Chagford in 1940 at Moorlands Hotel which my Grandfather owned. I do visit from time to time but am rather a long way away in Australia. I have many memories of Chagford and Dartmoor and even now I often tell my Wife about things that happened in the years that I lived there.
One thing that I have no knowledge of and that is who built Moorlands Hotel and when. If there is anyone who may read this ...see more
I and my twin brother were born at Cuckfield Hospital in 1965. I went back there today for the first time in at least 30 years with my 13 year old son. It brought a tear to my eyes. The area seems very different from what I remember. Does anyone know when it stopped being a hospital and it was converted to flats and offices?

Worked with Kieth Leeson at Mascots.
I did my apprenticeship in Kay’s ,I was 15 years 3 months when I started in 1965, so there is a very good chance I was working there when the South Street photo was taken. My boss was Mr Roy Collins who became Mayor of Dorchester. His mother in law used to have one of the barrows in South Street.
On Monday evenings it was Model night when some poor person had their hair done by an apprentice. While they were ...see more
I have been trying to find pictures of Lakemans Nursery before it was demolished back in the early 70's, preferably pictures from the early - late 60's as I have fond memories visiting the place as a kid between those times.

Hi, I lived in Mill Hill Road Acton for 8 years as a child in the 1950’s and remember all the shops in the High Street, all except one, the department store/ haberdashery shop on the corner of Market Place and the High Street. They used to have a strange pulley system where cash was put in a container for your purchases then it was pulled up and went all around up to the cash office then your change was sent ...see more
I attended Andover Grammar School from 1952 until 1956 and must admit that the swimming pool was my favorite part of the school. I have fond memories of the friends I made there, a lot of whom I am still in touch with. My father was a great angler and Mr. Dreghorn our geography teacher asked if anyone could get hold of some Perch to clean the bottom of the Pool during the winter, and my father ...see more
I recall walking from Elmer Sands to Middleton in the 1950's and 60's.
The sun was always shining.
My Uncle Frank and Aunt Elsie from Morden in Surrey purchased a small timber chalet at Elmer Close in the early 50's.
We enjoyed spending a week or two at Elmer Sands.
The owners of Marks and Spencer had a big brick home next door and sometimes we played with them on ":the Hard"..

My parents ran Denbigh & Co with my father later purchasing the business in the late 60s. He was also a partner in the Pony Trekking business which was very successful in the 60s & 70s. We lived in a flat above the shop. There was a paper shop (owned by John Perris Jones), a post office (also a small clothing shop) bank and a grocers there and on the opposite side of the square there was a butcher's shop and cafe and some kind of old fashioned Co-op type shop.
I was playing with school friends and we all had our bikes, I picked up a puncture. One of my friends lent me his bike, we used to race around the path that surrounded the pool. I took one of the bends too sharp, crashed, the bike and I went in the water! Thankfully apart from a bit of damage to the bike which I repaired, my friend took it all in good part. I trudged off home with ...see more
In 1945 I attended the Junior Art Department of Keighley. Our school badge was an anagram of J.A.D. the uniform was Burgandy. This was a small school of 40 to 50 mixed pupils.

When I was a young girl (I'm 72 now) I read a book which has influenced me for the whole of my life since. It was called 'Margaret', by James Davidson Ross. It told the story of a 15-year-old girl who died of cancer ; but whose courage and faith transformed the lives of all those around her.
Some years later I resolved to find out everything I could about Margaret. I learned her surname and the fact that she ...see more

I was a pupil at Rose Lea School and have happy memories of my time there. Mr and Mrs Meredith were indeed lovely people and shaped my life. It was a rather privileged education with Shakespeare, poetry and music an important element, along with (very progressive for the times) cricket! I was devastated when the school closed and my education suffered afterwards.
My name was Pamela Weston before I was married; I wonder if there are many of us left.
I'm trying to discover any information at all about these two soft drinks producers, which I understand were from the Newcastle area; H. Rowe Ltd and Muters. Any help would be appreciated!

Remembering old school pals from Burgess Manor 1958/62 . Joyce Pack, Beverly Trustum, Linda Munroe, Christene Skerritt, Marilyn Judd, Barbara Smith, Gillian Manwaring. I was Janet Walsingham in those days. Love to hear from anyone who remembers those times. Good and bad.
Miss Gilbert taught me RE. and English, quite scary at times but a good teacher. She also got married in my 4th year (1962) but we still had to call her Miss Gilbert.
1958/62 Miss Hurst was Headmistress and scared us girls to death, she scoured the corridors waiting to pounce on anyone that was near. Although my class in the 4th year made fun of her in the Christmas play when she had Gout. (Actually she took it as good fun) I can remember the girl who played the part, but not her name, love to hear if anyone can remember.
I was born here June 1947 and believe it was a nursing home for unmarried mothers. Could somebody please give me more information, I would be most grateful.

I went to the Boys side of Alma Rd School in 966 and later to Bexley Lane School.
I have mixed emotions of attending Bexley Lane school, (now Cleave Park School) most were ones of dislike, I was bullied terribly and nothing was done about it. In fact the Civics and Business studies teacher clearly condoned it, letting other lads lay me onto ...see more
I lived in Victoria Road from 1945 to 1958. I remember the prefabs at the Ilford Lane end of the road. The odd numbered houses in Victoria Road started at number 7. I never understood why that was as I don't think there were houses there before the prefabs. I used to play at the stream (Loxford Water) behind Victoria Road. It was all open then and quite an adventure playground. It sometimes used to flood after a period ...see more

Remember Victoria Arms , Walpole Library, walking in park dinnertimes and Daniels in W Ealing.
I was in this hospital when I was about 8 years old so around 1966 I have very mixed memories I remember a small girl who didn’t like hot chocolate been made to drink every drop. Many of us used to plan how we could escape from the home.
I also made a friend of a boy my age with very white blond hair we used to sit in the school room together. Like everyone else I missed my mum so much and was pleased to leave
When I was a child in the ‘50’s around 5 years old my aunt and uncle ran this pub together with a couple of pigs, goats, chickens, geese and a cherry orchard!

I can remember going into the wood which I think was opposite the pub, or maybe down the lane to get water from the natural spring there to use for drinking and in the ...see more
Not long after this photo was taken, the building was completely destroyed by fire.
At the time it belonged to the Butler family. Charles being the owner. I remember he had a model railway set up, that extended from room to room on the ground floor.
The shortgrove estate was I believe about 2000 acres of arable/pasture/woodland.
I knew many of the farm workers.
Happy days.
Our family holidays where in Talacre. We stayed in Lovely Cottage. On the road by the Point of Ayr. The toilet was at the end of the garden and we had gas lighting and gas iron. These were the most wonderful days of our family holiday. Horses in the field opposite. A walk up to Talacre Arms and then on to a walk to Talacre Abbey. Their fudge was amazing. Then a walk along the fields to The pub, ...see more

I was born during the 1947 blizzard, Feb 2, 1947. Neither the midwife nor the doctor could get to our house, so my father helped my mother deliver me in the front upper bedroom of 88 Nightingale Road. I remember no more about Petts Wood, we moved to Bromley by the time I was 3!
