I lived in zelah until 72. I have found memories of sports days, and tea treat events. My best friend was julie. I lived at chiverton farm. With my parents. Neil and Margaret Edward’s I would love it if anyone has any photos of them or my grandparents.
Patricia, I don’t know if you are on Facebook but if so go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/1472650986301400/ and join my group. Post a comment and I am sure you will get a response re your enquiry. A Lot of locals on there.
I was happy to find these photographs. I lived in Zelah until 1957 and indeed remember the Sunday School.
I cannot remember the name of the cottage we lived in but I remember the name of the man I believe to be the farmer that being Mr Golly and a Mrs Prouse being a freind of the family. Any bells?
Lovely to see these images Marjorie. I spent 2 weeks on holiday with my foster parents in the mid to late 1960’s and have never forgotten the village and paid a trip back their around 10 or more years later with a pal. When I stayed with my parents we lived in a beautiful thatched cottage next to the church which was across the road from the pub. I now live in Edinburgh and have not been back to the West Country for around 40 years but I’m sure it is still as beautiful as I remember. Regards Keith Parker.

I wonder if anyone has a photo of it today, bet its changed a bit.
I think that might be Rose Cottage that is next to the Mission Hall but across the road from the pub. I will take a photo for you.
