Nostalgic memories of North Anston's local history

Share your own memories of North Anston and read what others have said

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 name is Ivan Richardson. I was born into the Original Mill Cottage in Mill Lane. My Father worked for Norman Bennett. When he left the Farm to go to Kiveton Wire Works. We had to get out of the Tied Cottage. We moved to Eastwood Avenue. I have many wonderful memories of North Anston.I attended the School down at the bottom of the Village near to the Railway Line.Sadly we left Anston in 1960,when I was 6. I have always had very fond memories of that place.
