Mom Lived In Baynards...1930-40's A memory of Barnards Green, Worcestershire Mom went to the country to live during the war. She lived in a big field - the house and land were let by the Fulton Brick Works, I believe that was the name. I have about 5 pictures of her home with my Auntie Connie.

 Great Malvern, Beacon Hill 1907 (ref: 59014) |
Year: 1960
Childhood Years A memory of Great Malvern, Worcestershire Many hours were spent playing on the hills around this area. In the centre of the picture is a mound, we called it the Tump, it was the excavation from the cutting and it was made into a feature with three seats or benches for walkers to enjoy a rest and admire the views over Herefordshire.

Simmonds Hanley Castle A memory of Hanley Castle, Worcestershire I am researching the Simmonds family who lived in Quay Lane in Hanley Castle about 1900. My father recalls the floods of the early 1900s when Quay Lane flooded and he was trapped up stairs with his mother, Alice Simmonds. Does any one out there have any information on the Simmonds family as I have a lot of there history to share. Len Simmonds smmndssev@aol.com |

 Powick, the Roundabout c1955 (ref: P108002) |
Year: 1991
44 The Village A memory of Powick, Worcestershire My wife and I moved to Powick in the 1980s. Dating back to the late 1500s the whole row of (now four) houses were used by Cromwell as a hospital during the Civil war. It had no central heating and during our stay there we added that, changed the old drafty windows, put in a damp course including new flooring in the kitchen and lounge, had the roof re-tiled replaced some of the rotten roof beams and timbers and the loft was insulated with a firewall put in place between No44 and No43. Over its many years, the row had been two, three and finally four houses and sometime in the 1700s the end house No45 (Now the Red Lion) had a fire which also destroyed part of No44 thus the two fronts were changed to brick and the cellar was use to dump the rubble and was eventually filled in with its entrance (at the rear) bricked in and now visible only from the inside of the utility room in N044 as a few years after we left, the Pub owners bought No44 and used it to house their staff (shudder) and added an extension to the rear as a restaurant. The internal walls were mainly lathe and plaster upstairs and down and the main kitchen beam ran across its length and into next door No 43. The kitchen was large and about 16 x 16 feet. The back of the house was about 3 feet below the pubs car park at the rear, hence the need for a damp course, and at least one original support beam ran from the roof to below the ground and rested on a large rock as its base. The upstairs floors were the original long oak planks, slightly warped and original beams ran down the walls in all the rooms. Upstairs had been at some time converted into four rooms with the bathroom the smallest. We changed all the flimsy doors made from cheap wood, with ledged and braced solid wood and iron latches, fitting a late 18thc lock to the now new front door. Shortly in about 1990, illness and circumstance forced us to move and other planned work was abandoned. We bade farewell to No44 and its ghosts ( a few were seen ) with moist eyes.
