Nostalgic memories of Nympsfield's local history

Share your own memories of Nympsfield 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.

I arrived at the Marist Convent in Nympsfield in 1948 with my brother Bobby but. from then on he was known as Robert. We had travelled from Manchester with Social Workers with another brother and sister Nora and David Clemons. The convent did not have electricity we had to use oil lamps when it became dark, I would hang out off the bedroom window reading a book in the last of the evening light in the summer months. Always longing to return to Manchester which we did in 1949.
