The Lighter Side / Re: GR - it gets worse
« on: Thursday 17 January 08 21:50 GMT (UK)  »
My GR subs ran out yesterday and today I've had an email saying would I like any help as I have tried to access something today that only paid up members can see.
I have not been on there today   perhaps they are getting worried by lack of renewals?

Hello Julie and Heather

Just to let you know we went to Chard at the weekend but the museum was closed for the winter  :(  and I don't think it opens again until after Easter.

I took a couple of photos, one is of an old lace mill that has been refurbished and is now the Library and the council office and a couple of blue plaques about the lace trade.

If you would like to see them please send me your email address in a PM and I will send them to you.

I will still go and ask in the museum as soon as it reopens.

Happy new year
Wendy

Hello Julie and Heather

I will print off this thread and see what I can find next time we go.

My husbands aunt  is a residential home there and we go to see her when we can, but we live in Northampton so have to arrange things so we can stay for a day or two.

Will let you know if I find anything

hello

I don't know whereabouts you live so this might be a silly question but have you ever been in Chard museum?
They had quite a big display on the lace factories from Chard the last time I went in there.
My husband was born in Chard and i've found that a lot of his Grandparents rellies worked in the lace factories in Chard.
I am not sure when we are visiting again, probably not until after Christmas, but next time we go in i'll ask if they know anything about local people moving to nottingham if you would like me to?

Hi hazel

Thinking of where Far Cotton and Delapre Abbey are I would have to say it is probably the river Nene. The canal is not far away but more inclined to think of the River. The Nene goes along the edge of Far Cotton so that's where I imagine they might have been.

Hi Hazel

I've just had a look to see where the emunorators area covered and it doesn't look as if it is actually the village of Hardingstone as it is now , more Delapre Abbey Nunn mills and Far Cotton and it also says the barges on the river. I don't know if you know this area but if not Far Cotton is now part of Northampton, Nunn Mills is really just Industrial. There are a few pubs in Far Cotton but I don't know how you would even start to work out where it might have been.
Sorry not been much help,

Wendy

Hello Hazel

I see no one has replied so I thought I'd say that I was born and lived for 20 years in the next village to Hardingstone and never heard anything about this name, did it have a street name?

Hello Sue

Thank you so much for that, I feel so sad for her, I didn't know that they did that,how really terrible at the end of the war.

I will think of  them on 11 November.
