The photos are great. I have just moved house to Stretham Ely and wondered if anyone has photos of Stretham around 1930's as the house we now live in was built in that era.

Steve Lee

Thank you for the wonderful pictures of the ouse in 1934. I espcially liked the pictures of St Ives, as I find it amazing how little some parts have changed. Is there any more? Once again thanks.

As a boy we lived next door to Willis James and remember him as a great character,I was born in the house on the left.I now live in China so this is a nice surprise to see such a wonderful picture.

I was born in St Ives in 1932 and knew Baggy Reynolds. On Saturday evenings he and others (including Ted Andrews) would visit my father's (Harry Wright) barber shop in West Street for their weekly shave before attending to more pressing matters at the nearby Three Tuns public house.On Christmas ever they would come through to the lounge for a mince pie and a glass of sherry.My most vivid memory of Baggy was of him weaving his way happily home down West Street drunk as the proverbial on VE day 1945.He and his wife lived in a cottage on Ramsey Road opposite the old Grammar School. Mrs Baggy could often be seen standing in the doorway, arms folded across her chest, observing the passing world.Little did I think that I would ever sit here in New Zealand and find pictures of Baggy on the Net. I wonder what Baggy would think?
