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 stayed at my Aunty Molly's house a lot. I remember Uncle Tom coming home from the pit black as anything, and going to the local flea pit with my cousins, also going to Aunty Anne's house and Uncle George in the tin tub, black as the ace of. spades, with Aunty scrubbing him clean. I have a lot of info of the Kews's, I have put a headstone on Grandma Kew's grave with mum's, my sister's and my wife's names on as well.
my memory of living in "God's Village" is of days roaming round the grange, going down the fields to the beck, getting to the top of the "Red Ash Pit Heap", coming back round the coke works and spending loads of time messing around the TMS garage, most week nights and all day Saturday and Sunday.
Does anyone know of anything about the KEW family that lived at 13, North Plantation Row? Thomas and Margaret (Thubburn) are my great-grandparents. Any info would be great. Thanks, Doug Kew.
