Stubbington 1964 67

I landed up in Stubbington after Boxgrove School in Guildford closed ( truly Dickensian!) I was terrified of Arthur Moore, he was just awful, I never had a clue about latin and he really enjoyed the fact that I was a waste of ...Read more

Ellis Street, Crewe

Although I was born in Nantwich (1956), in the Barony hospital, I grew up in Crewe until the age of about twelve. We lived in Ellis Street, which then, if memory serves me right, only had three houses, even though we were in number 8! ...Read more

A memory of Crewe by Chris Hughes

Perhaps A Year Or Two Early

I'm not absolutely sure the garden was as spick and span as this at the turn of the sixties, but it wasn't that long before it became this way. It had been a ruin until the early fifties when a brutalist electricity sub ...Read more

I remember living in Middleton on Sea when I was between the ages of eight and 11 in the early 60’s and I went to Edward Bryant school in Bognor. We lived in a road called North Avenue East and I just remember the ...Read more

Grand Living At Moresdale Hall, Lambrigg

We came to a deserted Moresdale Hall in the 1980s and spent several years refurbishing it. Because it had 2 front doors and 2 staircases we were able to divide it and share it with my brother's family. ...Read more

A memory of Moresdale Hall

The Queen's Visit

I cannot be specific as to the date of the Queen's visit because I was very young at the time. On the left hand side of the road you can see what was at one time the post office but which later became a carpet shop.  On the ...Read more

A memory of Little Sutton in 1956 by Kathleen Green

First Job.

For about 6 wks prior to joining the navy in 1963, I worked at the Fyffes banana warehouse in Williamson St. (in photo). It paid about 3 quid a week (and all you could eat). Still, a handy easygoing fill-in job for a naive halfwit 15yr old ...Read more
