I have just visited the photo's, I found photos of Parkend where my gradnparents lived in the square we would go stay with them, They were moved then to woodland rice parkend, I remember visiting the 2 shops they had there, And the beautiful old church we used to visit with our Gran, Our Grancher used to take us up over the 'tumps' or we would go sit up there and watch people coming into the square,

They are such happy memories, My Gran and Grancher was Thomas and Emily Bowery, They were a beautiful couple, Their Daughter Edith was my Mother, If this is printed anyone knowing this family could get in touch i would love to hear from anyone, My G Grandparents lived in Glass houses newent she was Ana who came from Spain, Anyone knowing anything about her i'd love to hear from as i'm tracing the family tree, I'm stuck with the spanish side, Thank you for sharing this sight I will keep coming back.

Regards Geraldine 'nee Chaplin' Sandford

If anybody else would like to share their memories of their earlier days in the Forest, we would love to hear about them.
