Nostalgic memories of Thorpe's local history

Share your own memories of Thorpe 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 memory of Thorpe Salvin was going to play football against the village football team. I can remember walking from Kiveton Park to Thorpe Salvin cricket / football ground with my mates and playing matches. The games were fun and the lads at Thorpe Salvin would come to Kiveton for re-matches and we all got on really well. I remember a pub called The Parish Oven at one end of the village, I used to go there when I was old enough later on in the 1960's. Thorpe Salvin was a nice village.
