Hugo Page Croft
Recorded 23/24 April 2024
A GOOD STORY WELL TOLD.
Audio recordings of personal, family & business histories. To share experience & anecdotes between one generation and the next.
A fabulous life story from Hugo Page Croft in April 2024.
We begin the conversation with his maternal Grandparents.
His Father’s part in World War 2 - magical anecdotes of American dentistry on the beaches in France 10 days after the 1944 D Day landings.
Hugo talks about the Croft family in Herefordshire.
He dips into the family’s link with King George the Third’s daughter, Princess Charlotte, in 1817.
Hugo talks about how his surname Page Croft was a union of marriage.
Hugo Page Croft’s family were Maltsters.
Hugo describes growing up and community life in post World War 2 England. He lived in the small town of Ware.
Then we embark on his journey from being at home growing up as the middle child of three. To boarding at Shrewsbury School. After school we hear how his business, Moray Maltings began. Captivating stories take us through over 20 years of Scottish Maltings in the 1970s and 1980s. How the business worked with Farmers and educational establishments to develop seed. We finish as the business is sold to Scottish and Newcastle Breweries in 1986.
Formby Podcast would like to thank Arabella Page Croft and Kieran Parker for requesting this recording -A GOOD STORY WELL TOLD.

Living in Ince Blundell in the 1920s 1930s until 2000.
Viva was born in 1925. She chatted about growing up with her family. She is one of 6 brothers and sisters.
She described the family house. Three bedrooms one for the boys one for the girls and one for Viva’s parents.
The toilet is always an interesting subject for me. In 1928 Viva and her family had 2 toilets - situated at the bottom of the garden. The family toilet would have been two seats were cut into a plank of wood. Not flushed away all toilet contents were caught in a bucket - which was then distributed around the garden as food for the plants. - Here you can here Joan - born in 1935, saying her father had the best Rhubarb in Altcar. - All fed by toilet waste .
Bottoms were wiped on newspaper pieces .
Cooking for a family of 8 possibly 9 as Viva’s grandmother lived locally . Was done on a range - Viva’s mother lit this every day. It was in the main living sitting room.
The family kitchen was for preparing meals - vegetables, meat, and would of have a tap for cold water. The kitchen also contained a handy bath in the corner. Perfect for 6 children.
Viva laughs at her own stories as she recounts schooling, ploughing fields, life with six siblings

1920年代、1930年代にインス・ブランデルに住んでいた
ビバは1925年に生まれました。彼女は家族と一緒に育つことについておしゃべりした。彼女は6人の兄弟姉妹の1人です。
彼女は家族の家について説明した。3つのベッドルーム、1つは男の子用、1つは女の子用、もう1つはビバの両親用です。
トイレは私にとっていつも興味深いテーマです。1928年、ビバと彼女の家族は庭の底に2つのトイレを持っていました。彼女の家族のトイレで2つの座席が木の板に切られた。すべてのトイレの中身がバケツに入った - その後、植物のための食べ物として庭の周りに配布された - ここであなたはここでジョアンすることができます - 1935年に生まれ、彼女の父親はアルトカーで最高のルバーブを持っていたと言いました。 - すべてトイレの廃棄物によって供給されました。
底は新聞紙で拭いた。
ビバの祖母が地元に住んでいたので、8人、おそらく9人の家族のために料理をする。
家族の台所は食事を準備するためのものでした - 野菜、肉、そして冷たい水のための蛇口があるでしょう。キッチンは隅に便利なお風呂があります。6人の子供に最適です。
ビバは、学校教育、耕作、6人の兄弟との生活を語りながら、自分の物語を笑う

Viva出生于1925年。 她聊着和家人一起长大。 她是6个兄弟姐妹之一。
她描述了这个家庭住宅。 三间卧室，一间给男孩，一间给女孩，一间给Viva的父母。
对我来说，厕所总是一个有趣的话题。 1928年，Viva和她的家人有2个厕所-位于花园底部。 家庭厕所会是两个座位被切成一块木板。 没有被冲走，所有的马桶里的东西都被装在一个桶里-然后被分发到花园里，作为植物的食物。-在这里你可以在这里，琼-出生于1935年，说她父亲在阿尔特卡有最好的大黄。-全部由厕所垃圾喂养。
底部被擦在报纸上。
为一个8口之家做饭，可能是9口，因为Viva的祖母住在当地。 在一个范围内完成-Viva的母亲每天都点燃这个。 它在主客厅里。
家庭厨房是准备饭菜的——蔬菜、肉类，还有冷水的水龙头。 厨房的角落里还有一个方便的浴缸。 非常适合6个孩子。

Here Dr Phil Smith shares in intricate knowledge of insects .
We explore questions - why does it matter that a Tiger beetle on Formby Dunes disappears.
His stories of biological control are quite staggering. Quite incredible.
Why have the government allowed pesticides that alter Bees behaviour, banned in the EU.
Now in England it has been reintroduced to help farmers grow oil seed rape.
Oil seed rape why should I care - well you will find it is used in cooking oil. You will have it in the kitchen . Restaurants take aways will cook in it / with it .

Capturing Sounds of Spring on a Northern English Farm. A latch opens the gate the door. Food pellets drop into a bucket. Water buckets are filled. Lambs bleat, ewes baa, cattle moo, a tractor purrs as it drops of the day’s provisions, the quad bike buzzes round to inspect the sheep as they wait to lamb, the snowdrops are out in their thousands, sunny yellow straw swishes as feet walk by. The Oxford Black pig calls to her piglets - unbelievably cute. The swollen river rushes past, hens toot at their piggy visitors, sparrows trill and crows caw in the distance, the Royal Mail delivery arrives, spring breeze and sunshine make the grass grow. #spring #newlife #relaxation

Relaxation Frogs Spring sounds. All the words have been removed from this version for your enjoyment . Frog chorus captured on 17th March 2023, Freshfield Formby Merseyside, UK Our first lunch outside on sunny St Patrick’s day 17 March 2023. We have 2 ponds in the garden. One has a sunny aspect. The other enjoys a shaded position next to a large Cyprus tree. A new rain water system introduced recently captures fresh rain water and feeds the ponds filling them with fresh rain water. Solving our leaking pond problem. One frog floats alone in the newly topped up shaded pond. The sunny pond has a chorus of 20 frogs some floating, some sitting on the piles of frog spawn that have only recently been laid. (see photo). This recording captures the frogs welcoming the arrival of the female frogs. The female frogs have returned to lay their eggs - frogspawn. No female frogs were moved but it will be interesting to see how long it takes or if any female goes for the replenished shaded pond . The shaded pond currently only attracts frogs on hot summer days . These confident little frogs liked being photographed. They were brave not moving for any one. The dog was fascinated by them. ……. …….. ……… ………. ………. .. If you have a story or voice you would like to be recorded email Formby Podcast …………………………………. Formby Podcast @ gmail. com
