Hi Sheila, I know it was in early years about 1964 when Albert Parr use

to go in the Who Can Tell pub, he use to sing 'i'am not all there'!

Although we all thought that ? but how he use to entertain people

in there, remember where Emly the landlady use to sit he always sung

in that room, not sure if Charile use to treat him to a drink.

Good days. Hope your doing ok. Brian.

Hi Bri,i wasn't going in then about 66 when I started going in.Yes I'm well love only usual aches and pains.

" Where do you come from?" What must outsiders have thought when someone replied "Grimesthorpe Road, Pitsmoor." Grime and pits !

Grimesthorpe comes from 'Grim' I believe, some place name used by one of the Nordic settlers ? ( " Well why didn't you look it up first then ?" ).

Not all Grimesthorpe Rd came under Pitsmoor.

Sorry, didn't know, it's such a long road.

Not all Grimesthorpe Rd came under Pitsmoor.

Grimesthorpe Road ran from Gower Street (Pitsmoor) to Upwell Lane (Grimesthorpe). The demarcation of the two districts was the big white house where the Taffinder's used to live. Similary, Petre Street ran from Ellesmere Road to Hunsley Street and the divider there was/is Garter Street, the same for Carlisle Street East also.
