 Oakham, Castle, The Great Hall c1967 (ref: O2063) |
Year: 1967
Castle hit by storm
Not 100% sure if it was 1966 or 67, but I do remember that the castle roof was covered with a tarp for quite some time after lightening hit the castle during a storm. Last edited: 2/13/2007 14:38 by Janet Saw |

 Oakham, the Queen's Horseshoe c1967 (ref: O2065) |
Year: 1967
Queens Visit
I remember the Queen's visit to Rutland in this year. I remember all the children from the local schools forming the shape of a horseshoe in a field/park? and the Queen being driven around the horseshoe waving to us all. Posted: 2/11/2007 10:01 by Janet Saw |

 Cottesmore, the Village c1955 (ref: C434006) |
Year: 1969
Cottesmore 1969 A memory of Cottesmore, Leicestershire My name was Liz Shepherd and we were new arrivals. I remember Dick Broom in the village shop that sold everything from Brussell sprouts to Royal Doulton and was also the Post Office. The butcher would leave his straw hat hanging outside his shop when he wasn't there so you didn't waste time walking up the yard. The amazement when one of the thatched cottages on the main street I think was sold for £1500. Most people thought the purchaser was mad. The Vulcan bombers taking off and returning. I was receptionist in the Officers Mess at RAF Cottesmore and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Posted: 7/25/2008 22:18 by Liz Crosland |

 Cottesmore, the Sun Inn c1955 (ref: C434005) |
Year: 1969
Nostalgia A memory of Cottesmore, Leicestershire I think the landlord's name was George. Can't remember his wife's name. The food was marvellous, the atmosphere and friendliness second to none. The Vista Golf was installed during 1969 Last edited: 7/28/2008 14:22 by Liz Crosland |

 South Luffenham, St Mary's Church c1955 (ref: S486003) |
Year: 1942
My life in South Luffenham A memory of South Luffenham, Leicestershire Born in November 1942 I was christened, confirmed and married in St Mary's. My father cleaned, stoked the boiler, wound the clock, and cut the grass. I in turn sang in the choir, served at the altar and rang the bells and stoked the boiler when dad was at work on night shift, a spooky experience in the dead of winter for a young lad. I married in 1966 and moved away, visiting until mum and dad moved to Oakham. Last edited: 3/3/2008 10:46 by Leonard Harries |
