My name is Glyn Jones and I live in Dereham, Norfolk. Dereham is a very pleasant market town situated in the centre of the County some 16 miles west of Norwich. I have lived here since 1966 with my family having moved from Liverpool. Some may say that we are almost native. Although Dereham has grown over the years we all enjoy living in the town and away from the City with all its problems. Living in Dereham makes one appreciate the nice things in life. I have attached a couple of pictures to show the town.


Hi Glyn, thanks for adding the pictures. Although I've never been there, Dereham looks and sounds a really nice town

In my previous post I said I was born in Harlesden London N.W.10. My last address there was 13, Nightingale Rd. In the 1920s my grandparents lived in an old cottage on Harrow Rd, nearly opposite the junction of Harrow and Nightingale. By googlearth it looks like the cottage is stiil there. If so I would like a photo of it. Can anyone oblige please?  Roy

Hello, I was born in Oxford and grew up on Shotover Hill, Wheatley. I moved to the USA in 1992 to a small, rural town in Northern Nevada, that's desert Nevada, a dry and barren wasteland Frown. To say I am homesick for the beautiful English countryside I grew up in is an understatement. Even after 16 years I still look at pictures of home every day and long for my yearly trips back.

This site is perfection!

Here (I hope) is a picture of a farm in Wheatley I worked at as a young girl.

Currently Melbourne, Australia...though I was born about 120 miles to the east in a small country town.

But that could all change as I have finally convinced my husband that living in England would be a really good idea Smile

Here you go Yasser. You can post some pictures of your hometown here. I used photobucket and linked the pictures that way (I must have taken the pictrue out though).

Hi Sue:

Thanks for pulling this old thread out.  I checked out some of the photos from Glyn Jones and now I have a name for one of mine  - Kilnsey Crag.  I didn't write it down while we were traveling and couldn't find it on the map, but now I know.  Thanks again!  I'm going to have to rummage thru some of the old postings and see what other goodies can be dredged up.

You could also post a picture or thread to your hometown, Ruth.

I'll try and find a pic of my hometown, though I don't want to scare you all. On the other hand, it may garner tons of sympathy for me.

Good idea, Sue.  I opened an account on Snapfish, but haven't sent them anything yet.  I don't know where you live in NV, and I've only been to the area around Las Vegas and Laughlin.  It has a start beauty, but it's far from green and pleasant.  Where I'm orignially from in PA is much more like England than it is AZ or NV.

I'm ten hours north of Las Vegas, mid state, sitting on the I-8- corridor. I'll get those pictures in at some point.
