* Alan Medcroft - actor. Lived his early life in Yate and Chipping Sodbury and still lives nearby.
* J. K. Rowling - author of the Harry Potter series of books. Born in Chipping Sodbury, at Chipping Sodbury Hospital, and lived her early childhood at the nearby village of Winterbourne.

Used to quite like the pub at the top of Ham Hill (can't remember the name of it now though).

I remember the sawmills because my uncle used to be a builder & I went there with him a couple of times, tagging along on a day when there was nothing else to do on the school holidays.


"school holidays"??? "I remember" ????

When you were at school glasgow still made railway locomotives for the empire!!!;)
 
Well, there's me ....:)
The Sitwells used to live here (parents of Dame Edith Sitwell), Charles Laughton the actor, Henry 11, Edward 1 and Richard 111 all visited, various local luminaries no one has ever heard of made valuable contributions to Geology, Alan Aykbourne premiers all his plays here before they go to the West End and Jimmy Saville used to live her & still visits fairly often - how's that for starters?

Me too. Yeah, what is it with all these Yankees. I understand the site is UK owned :mad:

That annoys me!! Sometimes even the way they speak annoys me hehehe! Have you seen there is now a supporting supplier called 'Hard ... vapor' and looking down the posts pretty much everyone in the lounge is US!!

They also get far too excited about high voltage mods too I think.
