The best day ever. - Simon 15/11/2011 email
I recently visited Alsager and had a mesmerising adventure. Firstly, I visited Christ Church, although it was a beautiful building, I could not locate Christ, even though the parishioner assured me it was God's house... I suspect he was busy healing. We then visited Craft Addicts Ltd, and witnessed the crippling effects of art and craft addiction. We then decided to visit the Fortuna Chinese restaurant, their tuna was indeed excellent. After the delicious meal we enjoyed a boogie filled evening of Jazz at the Wilbraham Arms Inn.
A brilliant day.
Thanks Alsager!

Samantha Hirst - Andrea 08/08/2008 email
Hope someone can help. I worked with a wonderful girl, Samantha Hirst, when she worked briefly at Twickenham Library in Richmond Upon Thames, in the early 1980s I think it must have been. She left for pastures new and we lost touch. I'd love to get back in touch with her - we had wonderful times at Twickenham Library. She had a boyfriend Kevin who she might have married. I dont know his surname but there is a Kevin R Wood who married a Samantha Hirst in the Congleton & Crewe District in 1990. I wrote to a Hirst family in Alsager quite a few years ago but didn't get a reply. Does anyone know Samantha?

Looking for the Wright family - Stephanie Wade 21/01/2008 email
Hi Everyone, I'm looking for the descendants of the Wright family who had a Grocery shop in Audley Road, could be the one shown opposite the Station. My Great Grandfather George Alexander Wright, and his Wife Mary Sophia (nee Bull) were listed there in the 1901 cencus along with their sons Edward, John H, Frederick N, Thomas B,also Harold who had moved away to work, and their daughter and youngest child Millicent Lucy Anne, my grandmother, born in 1895. The surrounding families in Audley road and Talke Road, showed quite a few Railway workers' which makes me think it could be the Shop shown in the photo on this site. I know very little about this branch of my family, as my Nan and Mum were very secretive about their past. I have since found out that this was because my mum was illegitimate, and Nan was disowned by her whole family at the age of 22. I live in Wiltshire and am thinking of coming up to Alsager to see if I can track down any descendants, or at least see where Mum and Nan were born, Mum was born in Talke Road, and Nan went into service with my Grandad, Will Calvert, who was at the time a concert classical pianist and wrote and performed his own monologues as a comedian. I know no more than that about him. He and my Nan never married, so was he married to someone else?!! All very intriguing! Is there anyone out there who can help? Are you a Wright and could we be related. Thank you.

Anybody know me or my family? - Joan Lockett 12/07/2007 email
My family and I used to live in Moorehouse Avenue, Alsager in the 1940/1950. I have 4 sisters Sheila, Eileen, Janet and Doreen. I also have a brother Gordon. We used to go to Alsager secondary modern school. My father was an electricians mate in Radway Green. His name is Alfred Thomas Lockett. Does anybody remember him? Has anybody got any photos or information? He passed away in 1944 aged 28 and I dont have awful lot of information about him and I dont have any photos at all. I live in Wales at the moment but would love to be back in Alsager it is a brilliant place! Any information would be wonderful.

Previous resident of Alsager. - Monica Garland(Mrs.) 09/06/2007 email
Hi to all in Alsager. My name is Monica Garland and I am married. My surname used to be Boote so I hope someone remembers me?? I used to live at 12,Creswellshawe Road, next door to Bill and May Wood who are sadly not with us now but Michael is still going strong. Would be lovely to hear from anyone who remembers me. I moved to Cornwall in 1969 and still remember my old school friends. I used to go to Alsager Secondary Modern and left in 1966 so quite a few years ago. I am happily married now with two grown up daughters and have one grand-daughter aged 7 and another grandchild on the way - early December. Cornwall is beautiful and I have never regretted moving here with my parents Pat and Arthur Boote. Dad was in a dance band and played the accordian with Reg Ledward who was a good friend living just down the road from us. Would be lovely to hear from anyone who remembers me. I still have family living in Stoke-on-Trent so maybe they will be in contact too. I also have some family by the name of Boote in Alsager so get in touch, please, would be lovely to hear from you.
UPDATE: 9TH June 2007. Still not heard from anyone so obviously no-one seems to remember me up to now. Used to know Rosemary Clay, Jenny Bullock,Gloria Adby,Maureen Howle,Joyce Moulton,Wendy Williamson,Charlotte Jones,Peter Shufflebottom(used to call him Shuff)Melvyn Shufflebottom(Peter's bro')Michael Sant,Catherine Sant(brother&sister). I used to go to St.Gabriel's Catholic Church and knew the Sullivan Family,Pat,Kath&Paul, Pat&Kath were in hairdressing on Bank Corner. I used to love Alsager and came back in 1995 with my husband Iain and found such a change in the village but it was great to see it again. My old next door neighbour from Creswellshawe Road, Michael Wood is sadly very poorly at the moment, sorry to hear that Michael, do hope you are recovering and will be home soon. I do hope to hear from someone up in Alsager as even though I live in Cornwall I still checkup on this site each month. Signing off for now, please get in touch??

Looking for dear friends - Annelies Kroen 22/10/2005 email
Hallo,
In 1989 during our holiday's in Scotland, we met a wonderfull couple, Mr. & mrs. Roy Dale. They had 2 lovely dogs, Katie and Canger.
We visited them at their home in Alsager, The Common, in february 1991 and had a great time. We also wrote plenty of letters and received many back. During our visit we also met Denis, a good friend of them.
Due to change of work and house, we lost contact in the beginning of 1992.
Is there anybody around who can tell me about Doris and Roy? I can imagine, because it is quite some time ago now, that they may not be alive anymore, but I still would like to know.
Please send a massage to: akroen@home.nl, I will be very gratefull.

Home coming!! - Katy 06/05/2004 email
Dear all,
I'm a 25 year old who's lived in Alsager since the age of six. My grandparents met on Bank Corner when they were in their teens, married at St Mary's and then had my Dad who also grew up in Alsager.
I was born in Coventry but my parents moved back here in 1984. I've since been to university and have been living in Birmingham for the past two years, but after long deliberation I've decided to put up with the long commute just so I can be back where I belong... Some my age might disagree but I love Alsager through and through.
Katy

What happened to the www.nathang.org.uk/acs message board? - Nathan Griffiths 18/05/2004 email
Hi,
In case anyone is wondering what happened to the message board at www.nathang.org.uk/acs linked to from the Student Friends section of this site (the link no longer works) - its all my fault!
Basically I've been off travelling round the world after getting made redundant and I now live in New Zealand, and I had to take the site down as I was no longer able to update it. If and when I get myself back to the UK I will see about getting it up and running again, but until then you have my apologies.
Update 15 May 05: The site is now located at
http://www.acs.griffiths.net.nz
cheers,
Nathan Griffiths (Alsager Comp 87 - 92 - the Year of the White Tornado)

Lawton Hall School - Eric Price 02/09/2004 email
Another old Lawtonian, Bev Booth, now land developer and lawyer in Lichfield,informs me that the old Lawton Hall School may be dead but the building has been restored for apartments.
I would like to hear from old Lawtonians especially from the 1960-1965 area who knew me, Bev, David Steele, or Paul Frew; in other words, those especially from the rise of The Beatles area.
I used to live in Trentham but joined the United Nations hence my emigration to Europe; I have come back to the Potteries area annually. Read more at my website: http://www.sima.co.at

Response to Lauren and DAVID - Angela 17/05/2006 email
auren, David a few things about your comments - Firstly David- your useof
language is appalling partly the use of the word Sh*t, there is no place for
language like that in a village website forum. 2ndly, Lauren you live in
Liverpool you dont live in Alsager so how can you compare Alsager ot Liverpool
by saying Alsager is boring? Atleast i can walk down my street and say hello to
the vast number of people i know than walk down a street in Liverpool and worry
that i might get mugged, stabbed or shouted at! Alsager is a decent place to
live and wasnt established to entertain children. It is a village that has
expanded due to people using the village as a commuter village and a place of
study.
Kids take drugs all over the place including a lot in Liverpool. So if liverpool
people are visiting Alsager, what do you expect? I think the borough council
should start issuing VISAs for anyone coming from liverpool as all they bring is
bad language, invalid opinions, drugs booze etc.
David, Lauren, you might not like my village which im proud of and have grown up
in (im not as old as you think) but im glad you dont live here. Negative
thoughts are best left where you live. Bye.
| | |
i agree with'david' alsager is rather boring! - Lauren 05/10/2005 email
hey, im from liverpool, one of my closest friends livesin alsager and i have been 2 visit quite a few times.and i agree with david who posted on this guest book - although alsager a nice place and its generally pretty andthat, there is literally NOTHING for young people to do! i think my friend would agree, all the kids can do all day is smoke drugs and drink in parks and places like that. im not saying liverpool is any better, well actually it is, there used 2 be nothing for me 2 do when i was younger except drink in street. but liverpool is a big place and now there are things 2 do in most places. have the council considered that the kids are all on drugs and drink because they have nothing better to do? maybe they should put some of their money into doing something useful with the area. god knows people in alsager have got money!

my opinion of alsager - david 08/03/2005 email
i've only been to alsager once an i thought it was a load of pants. i don't mean literally because a real pile of pants would be way better than spending time in alsager, even dirty pants; but i digress. i hate alsager and personally think the french government should start using that area to test nukes (but don't warn anyone cos that'll be well funny). even my mate thinks alsager is shit AND HE LIVES THERE! thankyou for allowing me to express my personal opinions on this matter.
yours sincerely, dave
