I think the present one may have been
1935, when I attended a huge bonfire on the High Hill to commemorate
the silver Jubilee of The King and Queen George 5th and Mary. Best

I thought it was a group of beaters
setting off for a pre hunt beat, probably in Whitwell wood.

Hodthorpe in the spotlight on these two!
Very
dear to me, one is the old St Martins Church
also known as The Tin Tabernacle. I was in the choir there briefly,
until they found what the horrible noise was that emanated from the
choir, so I was made an altar server and I used to attend every Sunday
morning with Mrs Snookes the caretaker to prepare the priests vestments
whilst Mrs S would light the stove in Winter, and ring the one cracked
bell by pulling on a rope at the back of the church.
The Methodist Chapel was at the top of
King Street. Visiting preachers on the Methodist
circuit would come to my Aunt Mary (Middletons) for tea before the
service and supper afterwards. One I remember
was a sanctimonious old man called Harry Hartland, who had a school
named after him in later years at Worksop
As the Chapel became used less and less, My Uncle Alf Middleton took it
over as a workshop for his haulage business. He was to be tragically
killed in later years near the chapel when repairing a lorry and the
tipper part of a lorry fell on him ands crushed him.
The business was carried on there by his son Stanley, now deceased
Maybe the Chapel building is still there?

I think this is one of the (two)
nonconformist
chapels in Whitwell. One was in Welbeck Street corner of Fox Road and
Welbeck Street. The other, which I think this may be is in Whitwell
(Portland Street) If it is my mother funeral service was there, and
was absolutely packed I suppose that would be one of the last times I
visited the village as my Dad died shortly afterwards and was cremated
Best wishes as always Jim B
Good try Jim, but
the other way round. This is the one on Welbeck Street. |

Shows a threshing machine of a long gone age. Note the dog
'driving' the tractor. Looks like Whitwell Common? |
