Nostalgic memories of Walker's local history

Share your own memories of Walker 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 family are all from Walker, the Viggor family, and I was wondering if anyone had pics of the Walker dwellings and Headey Ter, and Walker Park from the 40s till early 60s, thanks.
I lived in Walker Dwellings in X Block, directly opposite of one of the entrances to Walker Park, from 1943 to 1946. I am looking for old photographs of Church Street and Walker Park. Also I would like contact with anyone from that time.
I was born above the barber shop and Chronicle office on Church Street, if anyone knows it please reply. I would love to talk to anyone who lived there. I was born in 1949 and went to Walker R.C. School, I can't find any photos of Church Street, has anyone got any? My email is: davyallan06@hotmail.co.uk - if you have some, would you send me some?
