Shared Memories of Eye

childhood memory
The old photographs helped me remember some lovely memories of when I was a very young child, when it was a daily routine walking past the old brick works to go to Eye school,  I believe that just past the brick works  (obviously depending on which way you were walking) there was a bridge that went over the old railway.
My father Sid Earnshaw knew Bill Oliver who worked at the site and his brother Ray, sadly my father is no longer here, but the pictures were wonderful to see, and I cannot help but feel a little sad that Eye now looks nothing like it was when I was a child, but thats progress I suppose!!  Although it's not all bad... as I still live in Eye.

My uncle, Bill Oliver, who lived in Crowland Road used to work at the brickyards pictured. He worked on the kilns. I can remember on Sunday mornings going to see my uncle and my nan, Florrie Oliver. My dad Russell Oliver and I used to cycle over the old bridge which is now part of the Ete bypass. I was born in Eye in Northam Terrace just of the Crowland Road and lived there till I was 21. I now live in Stilton.
