Anybody lived/played here early 80's ?

I knew the Askhams who lived at number 72, then further down on the other side was a lass called Tanya. Oh and not forgetting the Duffy? family.

You probably mean the Dunk family, Richard, Gary and their dad.
Do you remember the Cardwell family, their dad was a roofer.

The Dunk family, now that's a name from the past, I certainly remember them. The other family I'm thinking of had a huge and varied collection of piles of rust [old works vans] they used to disintergrate as they sat there and one of the little lads used to find it amusing to go around cutting wires that came down the wall of houses.
Can't remember many other names although it's bugging me there was a lass I knew who worked in the Thorntons factory but her name escapes me.

i was born on archer rd ,. next door to the shop .do u remember .some.one by
the name of nicholds.

I lived at the top of Crummock road in the 70s and 80s. My best friend at junior school was Dawn Davis who lived on Buttermere road. There were the Marshalls, Keith and Sharon and their cousins the Battersbys, Dawn and Darren. I remember the Dunks and the Jubbs, that would be Tanya. And Stephanie Hall lived in the same yard as the Battersbys. We used to have a great time playing marbles and french skipping and racing our bikes. Great memories. I am 41 now and went to Carterknowle junior school if anyone has any other memories of that area in the 70s, Millhouses lido etc!!

millhouses park .i think i lived there .used to walk pass laycocks it was a massive building as we thought.? then went to work at guylees ..after i got wed:twisted:

I've just remembered the girl who worked at Thorntons was called Lynn, light colored hair and she'd be in her early 40's by now.

Yeah I remember Keith Marshall used to be a skinhead and had a rebellious attitude, I think he stayed in prison for a while.
I still remember those steep steps that went upto Archer Rd, probably be classed as an health & safety issue now.
At the bottom of those steps our lollipop lady used to live there, with those Landrovers parked in her yard ,and her husband and son dangling their fishing tackle from their bedroom windows.

Battersby, was this Gayle' s surname as well, i definately remember her !

No, there are not there anymore, but you can still make out where they used to be if you go onto Archer Road and see where they have placed newer stones.
I still remember the colour ( dark green ) and pattern of those railings for the steps, used to be a nightmare in the winter, one slip and could have ended in a bad way.
