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. Last edited: 01/08/2008 19:19 |

Crowland Road
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. Last edited: 18/03/2008 15:03 by Sue Boon |

Peterborough Grammar School For Girls A memory of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire Does anyone have photographs of the Grammar School on Cobden Avenue? I was there for a couple of years before I moved away with my family and have vivid memories of the main school buildings and the three storey house on the corner where we also studied. On the way up the hill to school there was a coalyard wher they kept the massive black horses used to pull the coal carts - am I really old enough to recall horse-drawn coal deliveries? Actually, our milk was also delivered using a horse and cart. I remember too the shop where we had to go to buy the school uniform - it had a complicated pulley system to send the money to the accounts department. And what a uniform! Dark brown winter coats, yellow over-macs, striped summer dresses and straw boaters - those were the days! Posted: 24/08/2008 14:16 by Marilyn Messenger |

Bricklayers Arms A memory of Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire Researching my family history I have found the sale papers for the Bricklayers Arms. It was sold by my Great Grandmother, her husband was Frederick Easom Robinson. It was sold on Friday 8th august 1890. The sale was for Brewhouse Blacksmiths & Wheelwright shops, two Brick Built & Slated Tenements, an orchard, and 4 acres of land intersected by the railway, formerly the Brick Yard.

My Mums Home A memory of Stilton, Cambridgeshire My mum moved here when she was about 7 years old in 1959. Her mum and dad Mr and Mrs Claus owned the fish shop third closest to the camera. Her neighbour Mrs Sansby lived in the middle house. The house nearest to the camera is where my mum lived. She lived here until 1963 she was eleven when she moved. She had to move as the houses were about to be pulled down. So she moved up to Church Close where she lived until she got married. Her father Lothar Hans Claus is buried in Stilton Cemetary. He died in 1973. Her mother Betty is currently living in Orton and she is alive and well. I'm currently happily living with my mum in Fletton. Last edited: 19/06/2008 15:05 by James Mucklin |
