Hello, I have been reading the post in the Forum about Millfield Crossing. I can remember the time when it was more populary known as Georges Bridge,located as you say opposite Sandgate Street. At the bottom of Sandgate Street was the pub called the Millfield, and many the time I have stood on the top of the bridge watching trains go under on their way to and from Normacot station which was only 100 yards along the track. On the Meir Hay side of the crossing stood the old crossing keepers cottage, and further away from the crossing (another 50 yards)was the old coal bunkers that used to fill up the waiting lorries. These bunkers were filled with coal from Parkhall Colliery, using small wagons from the colliery going along the bottom of Meir Hay, past the small pool towards Eastvale and then turning sharp left to the bunkers to empty their coal. Many the ride ive had on the side of these wagons, happy days !

Hello there, I am doing family tree resarch and find that an ancestor Alice Polding was a scholar at Caverswall Poor School. Margaret Admin reply: Hi Margaret, Alice Polding appears in the 1851 Census attending the R.C. Convent School at the Castle. As she would have been a boarder I think her parents would have been sufficiently wealthy in order to pay the annual fees. The convent was first established in the early 1800s. Steve

I lived in Weston Coyney from 1925 to 1944. I know we are pretty old now but I am surprised there is a lack of correspondance from that period.

My great-grandfather William Hollins, from Leigh in Staffordshire, lived briefly in a cottage at Malthouse Mill, Caverswall with his family. On the 1881 census he was a carrier/carter. I wondered if the cottages were still in existence? I read a history of Werrington which said that the cottages were at the end of Salters Lane.

I am interested in finding out more about my family who lived in Caverswall, Sandon, and Stone in the early 1700-1800. George and Mary Hawkins and their family appear in the in the 1851-1881 Census of Caverswall also Charlotte Hawkins and some of her family were living at Cookshill in the parish. George was born in 1819 to William and Charlotte Hawkins most of the children were christened and married at Caverswall Church. It makes it a bit hard for me living out here in Australia. I hope that you can help me Best Regards Trevor Hawkins

Hello everyone, I am the evacuee mentioned in the child of war article. The last time I visited Weston Coyney was back in 1944, looking at photos now I think I would be lost. I still maintain contact with Gordon Ellis, known him now for 68 years, a long friendship brought about by war.

Hello Caverswall, my name is John Egerton from Ontario Canada. I have been looking around your website and was thrilled to see my ancestors listed on your memorial page. They were the WALLER family from Normacot Grange and they are my great, great, great, great grandparents. I was wondering is would anyone in the area be willing to shoot a digital picture of the WALLER tomb for me ? I have sent an image of my great, great, great uncle SAMUEL EGERTON of Meir Heath to the webmaster. Samuel was christined on the 17th of Feb 1821 at St Peters Caverswall. He died in canada in 1902. Prior to this Samuel lost his whole family, 3 children and his wife to samllpox in London. He was a Staffordshire Potter prior to this while living in LANE END. In 1845 he moved to London where he had a distinguished career as a detective inspector with SCOTLAND YARD. Best Wishes to all and I hope you will enjoy the photograph of Samuel in the website gallery. John Egerton, Canada.
