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.

Family Research

Joyce And Fred Andrews
My Grandfather came from Milverton and lived at a cottage called Butts Way and he is buried in the churchyard with other members of his family. He was William Moore who died in 1920. His daughter, my aunt, spent her honeymoon with Joyce and Fred Andrews, and my father took us as children to visit them We were allowed to play in the skittle alley. It was great fun.

Mothers Memory
My mother is now 86 years old and her short term memory is failing fast. She can remember things from her childhood more easily. She was born in Silver Street, Milverton in 1921, the daughter of Percy Frank Moore and Hilda Winter. Percy was a local baker and he would take her on his bike to deliver bread around the village. She says she played in an area of land called the "the Kill". Percy was later persuaded to ...see more
