My family has been associated with Tuxford since the 1920s
when my grandfather moved to Tuxford setting up a motor
and taxi business called Sanderson's Garage in the Market
Place. My mother and father lived in the village
for 55 years.
Whilst at college, my late mother researched the history of Tuxford
and since then she has collected many photographs and
newspaper cuttings about Tuxford. In the 1990s I attended
many postcard fairs collecting many old postcards of
Tuxford. I used this information to build my first Tuxford
website back in 1998. For nostalgic reasons I have left
this site online at
A few years ago my mother gave me all her photographs, some
of which were given to her by the late Ray Dawson. This
became the catalyst for me to create Old Tuxford as
a photographic archive. Many of the photographs have
no accompanying information so I am hoping that some
of you will be able to send in information via the Contact
button opposite. I'd like to know who took the photograph,
what event does it portray, who are the people present,
when was it taken, in fact anything you can provide
will be most welcome.
