I hope Andy and Lou are there.

Yeah, it IS a real place. I actually grew up there - (1961 to 1977) Was a tiny village then, about 300 people - haven't been back for decades

I still live there. Have since 1988. I guess I spent my whole life in Little Britain. Still about 300 people. No one believes me when I tell them about it. That is a real old sign.

I have lived in Little Britain for the last seven years and nothing has changed except maybe the grocery store name and the gas station name. There is 400 people in the big town now!

Ya I lived there when I was born. I lived there since I was 10 yrs, then moved. Great town.

L.B. is awsome. Iwas born and raised there. Played hockey at the Arena, fished under the bridge and hung out on the stairs on the corner (was then the movie rental place). I left in 1998 and now live in Sweden.

My granparents had a farm near Little Britain that I spent all my summer's at, close to Cresswell Church. I remember going to a store called "Kacey's" in the 70's, is it still there?

No. Jim Casey sold the store in the late 90's and moved to Trenton. I still have contact with his youngest step son. The town just isn't the same.

Does anyone know Dr. David Fleming Stirling, DVM? He grew up in L.B. Recently, I learned of his untimely death and wondered if anyone would mind talking to me about it.

I attended the university of Guelph with Dave, 1984-'89; he graduated in '92. Our group spent many happy times sifting through reading week, letting off steam at frat parties where Dave was always the most fun, etc. He had a medium-to-small black pup named, "Plato." I understand he moved to Vancouver in '95, married his bride Diane, and had a daughter Ursula.

Though Little Brit is not a booming metropolis, it produced one of the finest people I have ever known. Dave scored 100% on Dr. Joe Prokipcek's "Killer Chem" class, for example, an impossible feet for anyone who knows of this 'weeder' course. He made us all laugh often, heartily, and gave us a reason to forget our troubles during the more stressful times akin to university life.

I hope he will be remembered by the 400 or so people of Little Britain forever.

I am hopeful that there is someone in Little Britain who knew Dr. David Fleming Stirling, DVM. I learned of his untimely death recently and hope someone has any information. He was a good friend to me during the university of Guelph years and it is shocking to learn that he is gone.

Thank you for you attention into this unfortunate happening.

Kind regards,

my mom..grew up in little britain... Marie Heatlie..in the 30's.. living in toronto... still lots of visits... own corner store back then!

Nice to see someone else knows about Little Britain...............Sports Capital of the Kawarthas. I was born and raised there. 1961 to 1987. I haven't been back home in almost 17 years. It is funny how the two schools I went to were made into houses or apartments. As a teenager. Sports-a-rama weekend was the big party weekend.

We are thinking of renting a house in Little Britain......can anyone tell me what exactly the town has available? What I mean is will I be running to Lindsay to grocery shop, bank, and for kids spoorts? We have a 5 year old son that we would like in hockey, where do we go for that? And swimming lessons etc. Is there a daycare in Little Britain - we also have an 8 month old and I do plan on going back to work so we will need childcare hopefully close by.

Any info on the town would be much appreciated as we are in Alberta.

Also the house is located at Ramsey Road, East of Marquis Corner (East of where the chip truck is at Simcoe and Ramsey Rd). How far out of town is that???

Thanks so much

I was born in L.B. 27 mar 31. Lived on the main street, and we rented a house from Mr. Kennedy, next door to rhe Moores and acroos the street from Mr. Prosser and the Chidleys..The corner store and post office was owned by Mr. Gord. I knew John and Bill well, Also the Chidley boys. Doris Kennedy was the best looking girl in town. My brother Lance and some of the older boys damned the creek about a mile upstream from town, for a swimming hole. Have many good memories of the village. Will be going there for a visit in the spring of 09. Better get at it, as I'm nearly 78. Live in Comox B.C. now, but that village will always be home.
