    Beautiful ! I was as a "German Student" in the 1980th many times in Stamford ! Thx for the remembrance !

    Born and bred in Stamford, a true stamfordian not many of us left! Glad you liked it, the traffic is a nightmare and getting worse, we keep trying to tell the council but nobody listens, they’re destroying our town ripping out all of its green space and building on the land, it’s causing chaos and the fumes are blackening all of our beautiful buildings. So sad to see. 😔

    Stamford is my local town - so glad you enjoyed it. The A1 (Great North Road) actually used to pass through the middle of the town and over the bridge so although the traffic can be bad now, imagine how bad it could have been if the A1 hadn't bypassed it! Thanks for giving the town such a good review - we love it hear and still find time just to wander around the narrow streets and take in the wonderful surroundings.

      Hi, Andrew. In the 1980th I visit Stamford many times as a "german student" in the summer holidays. My Guestmother lived at Melrose Close 8, Sybil Brittle, with her daughter Caroline. I think she married again and relocated. Do you have a suggestion, how I can find her ? - Thank you for using your time. Thankful from Germany

    @Dan, the Pillory, to answer your question is also known as the 'Stocks'. Used since medieval times to publicly humiliate criminals by locking them in a standing position in a public place, where locals were free to laugh at and torment. Remember in the old films, villagers throwing rotten tomatoes at the poor villian in the stocks?

Don’t get me wrong I’m not a cross dresser but I’ve seen some women’s cloths I think look good on men! Through most of human history men and women clothing were basically interchangeable they would wear the same things! Do you know what changed all this what point in history let’s see if you can guess and it had to do with a mode of transportation!
