Nostalgic memories of Whittington's local history

Share your own memories of Whittington 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 first 14 years or so were spent at Whittington and Norton barracks Worcester born1950 I remember people like a Sargent Moore also close friends with mom n Dad were the Sandfords anyone who wants to share there history please do so, my name is Anthony Cunningham used to live in h block by the army school
My dad was in the ACC at Lichfield barracks. My brothers Michael and Peter & sister Helen and myself Pamela Morley all went to this school. This was my first and best school memories I have. Memories of us dancing and moving to music in the main hall. Photos sitting on benches in the play ground. Drawing Viking gods in the porta classroom, and going to tea at my teachers cottage and loving her roses in her cottage garden. But most of all I miss my friends Heather Kendrick & Amanda Lee.
Dad was in the South Staffs; we had many many happy years living in the barracks. I had 4 brothers then, sadly only two now. So many happy memories always lots to do, places to go and mischief to get up to. We used to go fishing in the canal at Whittington, playing on the common was always great fun... wish I could go back to those days.
It's all gone now, there are now private houses and a park where the school stood. What a school it was. When I was there I knew all the teachers there. What good times I had there. Boo hoo, it's all gone.
