I recall a warehouse on the left side of Shudehill going into town with a big gold sign on it with the name Holmes Terry. Apparently somebody from my family had some association with this company but we know nothing about it. Does anybody have any knowledge of Holmes Terry?

I was born in 1961 in Charing Cross Hospital & spent my first 25 years living in Fulham - firstly in Holyport Road until I was about 17, then New Kings Road for a few years and then Hestercombe Avenue for another few years until I moved out of the area. I absolutely loved growing up in Fulham alongside mum and dad and my three older brothers. Apparently there were 10 people living in our house when I was born, but I don't remember that but I do remember the tin bath and outside loo. Went to Queens Manor school and regularly played 5 aside footie in the evenings there. Behind my house was a coal wharf and an oil distillery and the Thames. I spent many hours messing about on old barges on the Thames down by the Crabtree pub and even more time playing runouts until it was dark and messing the park keepers about in Bishops Park. I remember the ice cream van at Bishops park and also hanging off of Tony's ice cream van when it came around. Other people have mentioned the rec and I recall hanging about on the roundabout and witches hat down there. There was no constant parental control as such - just to be in by a certain time for food and bed time and that was that unless you were rude or crossed the line in another way. I still go to Fulham to watch the team occasionally and all my family still support them. I always get a buzz going back to where I grew up even though it has long been 'gentrified'.

The White Hart was my home for many years until I married. My father and mother managed the White Hart for over 25 years and are both at rest now in Cheadle parish church. I have seen many changes both in the village and the hotel itself. My father was a very well known personality and was well respected. The cocktail bar was quite famous, as were the sandwiches! The village now has lost a lot of its character and charm. It was also famous for its ghost called the White Lady, I have many memories of not so nice happenings concerning ghosts!

My Nan and Grandad often took myself and my twin sister to visit his mother and brother in Blackheath (Lamb Lane) and to their local shop. Wow, sweets galore! Lovely smelling cooked meats, it was great! I always remember the walk from the station near some playing fields, then walking into the shop and seeing my great grandmother standing there with her big smile and her pinny. I don't think it's there anymore. My Great Grandmother lived on to be 104 - must have been all that lovely food! We visited in 1959/1969.
