Hi to anyone who remembers me!	by Paul Grant (Member 10239546) on 8-Aug-2009
Hi, just googled Bulkington and found this little gem linked to the "chequers". I'm now living in NZ but do visit Bulkington when i visit Mum and Dad occassionally. Dad, John Grant, plays bowls and drinks on the Chequers sometimes. If you know him say Hi. Loved living in Bulkington..was born and bred there and went to school in both schools before going to Nico. I have an entry on Friends Reunit ed and would love to hear from anyone who might know me! ... more >> Re: Hi to anyone who remembers me! by Lichfield Press (Member 10251001) on 20-Aug-2010 It seems that not a lot of people visit this site, which is a crying shame. This is just to say that the new book Bu'kin'ton Kid, a Bulkington Boyhood in the 1940s is now available at £5.99 from practically next door to the Chequers at Atmosphere Electric Bikes. The Chequers gets a mention. Reply

Disappointment	by Jacqui Wills (Member 10051294) on 4-Dec-2001
I am disappointed in the lack of news from the place where I was born and raised for the first 16 years of my life. I signed on to this page expecting the life and energy of a people I remember. My family and I left the UK in 1982 to come to South Africa. I do remember the Rec but there were other places we used to go as te enagers. Please post more comments and "gossip". I might even see someone I remember. ... more >> Reply

Ken's Chippy	by laura tivers (Member 10043511) on 6-Sep-2001
Ken's chippy is the best. The actual food is not the best around, but the welcome you get whenevere you walk in there more than makes up for it! Re: Ken's Chippy by Noel (Member 10049917) on 8-Nov-2001 Eeeeee...not arf. She's affectionately known at two chips, locally. And she don't like going too heavy on the batter bits either, I guess because they're free. She'd rather throw them in the bin than give 'em away. Re: Ken's Chippy by Dave Bowns (Member 10060047) on 2-Mar-2002 Nice to know Ken's chippy is still in business.Remember using it most Friday and Saturday nights after coming out of the Chequers or the Working Mens Club.As I've not been back to Bulkington for over 12 years,is Derek Taylor still licensee at the Chequers,does anyone know?

Wonderful to read this site. I have been there several times visiting family from 1984 until 1997 and would gladly leave Canada to live there. I think the people who judged Bulkington have never given it a chance. Go Ken's Fish and Chips Reply
