A few of my Old Hatfield memories
Chris Connell
28 Batterdale, my house is the one with upstairs window open, Robin Jiggens lived at No 22 at the far end.

'Topsies' sweet shop, a regular stop when on my way to school via 'Jacobs Ladder' anyone remember Buster the dog who would only retrieve a chocolate button from his nose when Hatfield was mentioned.

Just found this page, after finding my GGGrandfatehr on the new 1921 census, alas him, his wife and 6 of his 7 children were in Hatfield Poor Law Institution, which I’m now searching for. Never been to this area but my father family were resident in this and surrounding villages for at least 200 years!
Hi all…
These are great pictures. My dad lived at No19 Williams family. 😉
Just bumped into the site researching my family history. As a Family we moved into Downs Farm House in the mid 1950’s. If you have any photos of the house, I’d love to see them. Thanks
Great pictures, thank you. I was born in No. 18 Batterdale. I remember great bonfire night’s at Chris garden.
Hi John,Vera & Jack were also my neighbours in Batterdale at No 24 for some time.
Chris Connell, my aunt and uncle used to live in one of those cottages, Vera and Jack Reece.
