PeterR Â Â 10 #1358 Posted November 30, 2016 Sorry to inform you off Brian Gill passing away last weekend aged 72. he lived on Brathay Road in the same house all is life. He was well known in this end of Grimesthorpe and will be sadly missed. Â I didn't know Brian Gill but, from what you say, he was only a few months younger than me. I lived on Adsetts Street between 1943 and 1957 only half a mile or so from Brathay Road. My condolences to his family and friends. Â Peter.

johnpm   18 #1359 Posted November 30, 2016 So sorry to hear of the sad death of Brian Gill. He was a key member of our Hinde House school reunion group which has been meeting annually for quite a few years & which instigated the recent 60th anniversary commemorations in October. RIP Brian.

geotom   10 #1360 Posted December 2, 2016 I am so sorry to hear of Brian's passing, I've known Brian since I was about 12 years old, when I joined the Boys Brigade at Wesley Hall, that would be going back to the early '60s. I think anyone from Birdwell Road end of Grimesthorpe would have known him. RIP Brian. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
skippy   11 #1361 Posted December 3, 2016 was Brian Gill any relation to George Gill from Grimesthorpe, who played guitar in quite a few bands over the years, but passed away about 18 months ago in Germany. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The spout is still there out of shot on the other side, the square hole is where the handle would have been years ago. It looked much the same when I saw it a few months ago.
