Memories of Alsager, Crewe Road

Year: 1972
I Was Also A Papergirl For Mr Dovey
I used to deliver The Evening Sentinal, Crewe Chronical and Daily papers for Mr Dovey. I used to ride my bike from Oakhanger all the way up there deliver my round and then go to school at the Comp! I think I got paid around £5.00. Happy days. Fond memories. Last edited: 24/10/2008 15:14 by Gill Dougherty |

Mr Dovey Newsagent
I was born and lived in Alsager for over 40 years and remember Bank corner. I was a newspaper boy for Mr Dovey. Also have a sepia photo of Hancocks store which I also recall quite well as a young boy. Last edited: 15/02/2007 09:23 by Peter Dale |

Year: 1958
Just Fields
There was never a housing estate in those days so everyone was able to walk to school across the open fields. There was also a farm situated near the junction of Sandbach Road North and Lodge Road Last edited: 20/02/2007 10:03 by Peter Dale |

 Haslington, the Village c1960 (ref: H324018) |
Year: 1946
Harmel House, High Street, Haslington. And Castleigh House A memory of Haslington, Cheshire I am researching my Sims-Hilditch family tree. Does anyone remember Edwin Sims Hilditch at Castleigh, Haslington around 1931? And at Harmel House, High Street, Haslington around 1946? Are they on the Frith photos? Edwin's and Ada's (nee Knott) son Tom Sims Hilditch's name appears on the Haslington war memorial. I believe his boat was torpedoed in 1941 - can anyone tell me more?

Haslington, the Village c1960 (ref: H324018) |
Year: 1958
Haslington Village Post Office A memory of Haslington, Cheshire My Grandparents ran the post office in Haslington for many years (not sure how many exactly). Their names were Harry and Connie Jones, they built the business up from nothing and delivered newspapers, ran the post office and made their own ice cream which my mum always said people came from miles to buy. They were always up at 5 o'clock in the morning sorting out the newspapers and delivering them as well as running the post office. They had three children, Nancy, Bob and Dorothy, they were all brought up in the village and helped in the shop, and knew everyone in the village with living at the Post Office. Of course the village was a lot smaller then. Across the road from the Post Office, on the corner, was a Smithy, where I can remember horses being shod and the sound of the anvil as they put the shoes on the horses.
