Nostalgic memories of Willaston's local history

Share your own memories of Willaston 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.

The Green Lantern

This was owned by a Mother and Daughter; the daughter is still alive and lives next to my sister on Wallcroft, off Hadlow Road. I remember a cafe as you walked in right in front of the door, and on the right was a little tuck shop where you could get sweets. It was like going back the 18th century. I cannot remember their names, I will have to call my sister to ask her. Wonderful times. My father and myself and my sisters were all born in Willaston. My father was John Thomas Sumner.
