Here you are.http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w303/lazyherbert/clunroad.jpg

excellent thankyou!!!!:)

There was a WMC iirc. One of my relatives lived over the wall fron it and in the summer when they had the windows open in the club, it could be very noisy :)

edit: or was that Clun Street? :confused:

My grandparents, my mum andher sisters used to live at number 91 clun road.
The surnames were whitty and marshall

I remember visiting my aunt and uncle who lived on Clun Road when I was a young girl. Their surname was Fairest although can't remember the number.

rubydazzler i think one of my relatives might have lived over the wall from the club .Was the street called Ditchingham street?

That was a good little club that Clun Rd workingmans club, I used to sometimes go there on a Sunday lunchtime, 12 to 2 when we lived on Petre St.

The rellies I'm thinking of lived on Grimesthorpe Road, at the bottom opposite where the shops were, and the road with the club on was the first on the left as you turned into GR, it was a really steep hill and I thought it was called Clun Steet ... it's 40 odd years ago, I can't remember now :( It's all gone now anyway, demolished years ago.

Also one of my aunts had the hairdressers on the corner of GR and Ditchingham Road, it was called The Crest, They lived in the house behind it.

I just joined the site and saw the posting for Clun Road...I have found relatives that lived at 5 Clun Road, on their marriage cert. in 1881 by the name of Edward MORAN married Elizabeth HOPKINS.

Hi
I used to know a John Moran from that area in the early 60s, he and his family moved to Alice Springs in Australia, sorry don't know any more

Hi painterman, thanks for that info, I have several John, James, Vincent, Thomas etc MORAN, they seem to use the same names in every generation. I managed to find at least one branch that went to the USA.

My grandparents, Walter and Emma Hobson, lived at both 12 and 14 Clun Rd. We spent the first night of the blitz in the reiforced cellar of No 14, which was, incidentally, next door to the WMC. They later moved all the way to No 12 - don't know why.

That was a good little club that Clun Rd workingmans club, I used to sometimes go there on a Sunday lunchtime, 12 to 2 when we lived on Petre St.

my family lived on clun road, the name is butcher, i was born there in 1960 but i thought it was called clun street, but now i know it was clun road. we later moved to petre street to, we lived at 126 petre street, but i dont know what number we lived at on clun road there was my mam dad brother and two sister and me.

Hi Mollydog,
I was friendly with your Mum and Dad and used to drink with them and John and Jean Steedon in the Brunswick when Dick Finney and dear Cath kept it.We used to sit in the passageway across from the bar. I dont suppose mum and dad are still around it must be over 30 years since the Brunswick closed

hi wow!.. i'm so pleased someone remembers my mam & dad, yes that was there favorite pub the brunswick, sadley my mam passed away almost 14 years ago and absolutly devistated my dad. but my dad is still going, although not in the best of health he's now 78, hes had a few strokes and is now in a nursing home near where my sister lives in parson cross, im his youngest daughter and i moved to Newcastle upon tyne almost 30 years ago, i was down in sheffield last weekend to see my dad, next time i see him i will mention you. who will i say your name is, and are there any other people you remember who i could mention to him, im sure it will bring back some great memory for him, thank you for your reply. rita

Hi Mollydog,
It was good to hear that your Dad is still around,when you see him next ask him if he remembers the week end trip to Yarmouth with the Brunswick and Johnny Malloy with his little green bottles.I could give you loads of names but the ones he is most likely to remember are Albert Newton Arthur Hobson @ Bill Wilson who ran the tote also Frank and Lily Bond and her sister Eva Aston who was barmaid and i,m Dennis

Hi
I used to know a John Moran from that area in the early 60s, he and his family moved to Alice Springs in Australia, sorry don't know any more

if it is the same John Moran parents name was Frank And Kath Moran
He is my cousin

Hi Noodles 1961

That sounds like the same John Moran, his father Frank was a painter and decorator for a while over here.
The one thing that sticks in my mind about john (he probably wont remember me, never mind the incident ha ha), we were larking about in Sutherland road baths and he hit me in the mouth with one of those rubber buckets and it left the smallest of scars, but funny enough after all these years every time I notice the scar it reminds me of John, funny the things we remember and others we don't.
If you still have contact with John my nickname at school ,and stll is, Chalky.

Yes that's the same John I remember.

when i speak to him will ask if he remembers you

Ok thanks, but it's such a long time ago.

did you know any more Morans mine and Johns gran was Sarah Unwin (Moran)

Afraid not, only knew John and Frank for a short spell, Unwin does not ring any bells, sorry.

hi i remember the steedons my mam and dad where good friends with jean & john steedon i used to go to school with diane, i think she had a brother called mark and a little sister called denise my mam and dad are mary & fred butcher does any one remember them

diane sadly died a few year back. i went to the funeral. she had 2 brothers paul and mark. and sister denise. not sure but think she might have had another younger sister. still see paul and john down the pubs on gower street.

Anybody remember Lily Bell's shop on Grimesthorpe Road --opposite the Brunswick pub?

And with reference to Clun Road/Street, anybody remember a lad called Renshaw, who lived on that part of Clun Road/Street near Ellesmere Road in the 1940s/50s? He'd be about 70 now.

I think it was the Bottomleys, Remember Sandra and Shirley lived a little up Clun road from us. Across the street were two different Elliots. The Deakins next to the Rodgersons(forgot about them) Johnny and Paul Reynolds
further up.I seem to remember their mother was a bit of a good time girl!
I recall having a big Tupperware party in their yard.
Mollydog i don't remember you on our road.
The Binghams took the Club for a while.Mrs Green lived at the side of the garages.Old man Bradley(father of Sherwin) had one of these garages as a stockroom for his shop on Grimesthorpe rd.We could climb on top and force the top of the door ajar and swipe a bottle of pop or two!
A sad memory i have is one lad at the top of the road Anthony (green?)was a bit slow and his mother tried slashing her wrists.
Vague recollection of a girl called Andrea (Foster?) lived next to the Deakins.

I'm actually enjoying this!

Hi There
My Grandma and Grandad lived opposite the Club in the 50's. Their names were Walt & Maud Green.When I used to visit them there was a gap between the houses where a bomb had landed in the 2nd World War.
My main memory of them was my grandmother going down to the pub on the corner each night and fetching my Grandad a jug of ale, in which he plunged a red hot poker !

My grandparents, my mum andher sisters used to live at number 91 clun road.
The surnames were whitty and marshall



My family lived at 93 and later 97 Clun Road. They knew the WHITTYs,
one of two of them are on a photo of my sister's first birthday party
held in the yard in 1946.

Other families in the same yard, Gascoigne, Wragg, Bennett, Oldham,
Spooner, landlord Mr Skelton & later Mr & Mrs Fisher, who also ran the
"top shop".

The insurance man, Mr. White, known as "Chalky White" used to
collect the insurance premiums every Friday night.

Other families we remember from Clun Road, Bentley, Ritson, Edgley,
Whitbread, & the men's tailor whose name I can't remember, he later
had his tailor's shop at the top end of Elm Lane. My Uncle still has one
of his hand stitched suits made for him in the 1950s which still fits him !

Mr Ritson was something of a local celebrity, I think he was a magician, but he was well known in the neighbourhood for having an extensive train set up
in his house. I never did see it, but it was admired by many. Mrs Ritson used to have a Dalmation dog which took her for a walk several times a day :)

Those 3 story terraced "Artisans" houses were demolished in the mid 1970s,
and Clun Road no longer exists, well "little Clun Road" does at the bottom
and runs between Grimesthorpe Road & Ellesmere Rd. Clun Road used to run between Grimesthorpe Road at the bottom and Catherine Road at the top.
It was a cobblestone road and VERY steep.

I Know this is an old topic but does anyone remember the LINTON family from Clun Rd? I am doing family research ,and i just wondered if anyone still recalls them .Thankyou :loopy:
