Mr Steve Howells's Pictures of Great Malvern

A picture of Great Malvern

Madresfield Sawmills Cottage where I lived my wonderful and very happy childhood, I left the Sawmills in 1982 as did my parents Joe & Barbara Howells. My farther worked as sawyer on Madresfield estate from 1957 through to 1980 when he then was transferred & worked at the Court gardens for some years, with a change of address to The Bothy Madresfield two years later. The Sawmills building which was a wood construction burnt down in a storm when water seeped into the electrical boxes & shorted out in 1977 at 5.30am on the August Bank Holiday Monday. A local Farmer Jake Page noticed the flames on his way to early milking that morning and awokend me by throwing stones at my bedroom window, which I then called the fire brigade
