Herefordshire memories
Mrs Price's tuck shop
I lived at Lucton in the late 1960s and remember buying sweets from the shop.
I vaguely remember a young girl staying there who we played with in the meadow. The Buttons Sandra mentions are probably the BUFTONS.

Ye Old Tuck Shop and Mrs Price
My grandmother was Ann Elizabeth Price and lived in a beautiful house. She ran a little shop in the house and it was called YE OLD TUCK SHOPE. It is the most beautiful little village I have every seen. I remember the people around, how kind and friendly the were. The buttons and the Davies and old Fred. I remember playing in the meadow and paddling in the brook, and fetching water from the spring. I had a fabulous childhood and came over every year from Ireland with my mum and brother and sisters. I would love if someone from those times 62 - late 70's would get in touch if they have any memories.

butchers shop
I have a picture of a double fronted butchers shop in the corn market. Over the door it says L.Pugh, outside is the butcher and his wife and probably their daughter Marie. A family story was that a lad from the family when asked who he was replied "Jack Pugh, Leominster, kill sheep" I assume there was an abbatoir behind the shop.
The picture is in an album of my parents around the 1920's. Any information please email me at bpmann@ntlworld.com
Thank you.

Visiting the Corner House
I visited Weobley in the late 60s as a child with my Mother to visit our Herefordshire cousins. We stayed with Mum's Great Uncle Fred (Frederick Hope) and his daughter, Mabel Hope. They lived at the Corner House and I think Mabel's brother, Rogers Hope, lived near by in Broad Street. We came from London and I remember opening a cupboard door in the house to find a staircase. Mabel kept little hens in the back garden, which I think were gleeny fowl, which were the first live chickens I ever encountered. She sent us back to London with a basket of fresh eggs. My Grandmother, Mary Hope, was born at Bearwood Farm, near Pembridge ...read more here

Extracts From Kingsland & Herefordshire books
There are a number of
lovely timber-framed
buildings in this village,
and many more that
were once of timber,
until a brick façade was
added at a later date.
The pub is one such
example of this,
although its timbers
have since been partially
exposed once again.
An extract from from"Herefordshire Living Memories".
A scene that was once
familiar in many villages
up and down the
country. Notice the
petrol pump on the
right. Roadside pumps
such as this have nearly
all disappeared,
although there are a
couple still in use
elsewhere in the county.

mill is hidden behind
the trees, and the
farm buildings
are overgrown.
Corn grown on the
common was taken to
the abbey Mill to be
ground into flour.
An extract from from"Worcester - A History and Celebration".
Apart from the battle, Powick’s other main claim to fame is Powick Mills next to the bridge where the battle took place. Domesday Book (1086) recorded two mills here but it was in 1893 that Worcester Corporation purchased the site and built a combined steam- and water-driven hydroelectric facility (the first of its kind). It provided half the city’s supply until Worcester Power Station became operational in the early 20th century. Powick Mills continued to supply power until the 1950s. The mill buildings have recently been converted into apartments.
An extract from from"Worcester Photographic Memories".
Powick is best known for the Battle of Powick Bridge, the first skirmish of the Civil War in 1642. It lasted only 15 minutes or so but it left over 50 Parliamentary troopers dead, some of them drowned in the Teme. All the Royalist officers were injured too, except for their commander, the dashing Prince Rupert.
