Where do you live in Canada Dave ?

Yes I did live near Billy Limbs the butcher shop, I actually helped out with mobile deliveries on Saturdays !

I remember the bakers shop, best buns ever !

Hi, my name is John Tonks and Neil Ward was a school chum of mine. I lived at 212 Petre Street and attended Burngreave Boys School, I haven't seen anyone I went to school with since i joined the army as a boy at age 15, mind you, I emigrated to Canada in 1986. It would be great to make contact with Neil after 50 years ! Hope all is well for you and your family, Sincerely, John

Hi Mr. Freedom, I used to live at 212 Petre Street from 1955 to 1964 and my best mate was Peter Braeley, I remember his Dad was an amateur radio ham. Pete and I got up to all kind of things and sampling the pastries from Gillotts bread vans was one of them. No idea where Pete is now. I attended All Saints Junior School from 1955 to 1958, my teacher if I recall correctly was a Mr. Baize and then went onto Burngreave Boys Sec Mod School until joining boyservice in Sep 61. Some guys I can remember going to Burgreave Boys with was Malcolm Shepherd, Neil Warris, John Keighly, Micheal More, Terry Parkin, Gerry Cavill and Mick Oxley. Those were great times and although the streets were a bit tough there was nothing like the violence and lack of respect that exists now. I emigrated to Canada in 1986. It would be nice to hear from you, I am currently working on reconstruction in Haiti after the devastating earthquake last January, Sincerely, John
