Sorry Nomoney but yes Lants did do the best fish and chips though Whitehouses weren't bad.

Sheila lived on Clarefield Road off Carltonville Road together with her sister Myra and her dad was Ernest Damms.

Hi Alan How are you? A few weeks ago I bought the book once round the lump by Anne Sapcote, what a great book. Reading the book has sent me off on a great journey remembering what a fantastic place Carbrook was and what a great time we all had as kids living there. I contacted Anne and actually met up with her yesterday at Ice Sheffield. She walked me up to where the entrance was from the rec to Blaco Road. Then down Terry Street. Though the junior school was demolished the infants school is still there. The original wall that went right round the two buildings is still there you may remember that this wall ran round round the back of the school and looked over into the rec. Do you remember Alan there was always an old red telephone box on the corner of Terry Street? I could go on all day. My best wishes to you and your family. Marie

Hi Debwads It is lovely to receive your post. Your mum will remember my family very well. I lived at number 27 2 houses up from the wood yard on the other side from you, my name is Marie, my sisters were Kath, Jose, Enid and Doreen, I was one year younger than Lewis and when he came over a few years ago I met up with him. If I remember rightly either you or one of your siblings had piano lessons with my mum Hilda, I am remembering the name Julie, but it was a long time ago. I am going through a phase at the moment researching our childhood in Carbrook and I'm sure your mum would be like me, very interested. I have managed to research some pictures of Melville Road and the adjacent street. I was only a little girl but I'm sure I remember that your grandad always wore a hat and smoked a pipe? Only yesterday I walked on Terry Street which led up to the Rec. Please give my best wishes to your mum I would love to talk to her about when we were kids. Marie xx

Hi Terrortone Do you remember the huge fairs that used to come on the pheasant ground every year. Ludbrooks small bakers shop just past Flathers chippie where we used to go every morning on our way to school and buy a warm penny or halfpenny bread cake and eat it before going into school.

Hi RickyO I understand from my older sister that Mrs Bell who owned the chip shop was a very attractive lady. I was born in 1944 so I guess it would be the 50's when I was old enough to go on my own. At this time it was owned by Mr & Mrs Lant but was still mostly referred to as Bells. I was brought up on Melville Road off Carltonville Rd and I used to take newspapers to Matthews chip shop and Mrs Matthews used to give me pie and chips in a dish. Do you remember just after Carbrook Street was Jacksons chipshop also known as Whitehouses, where abouts did you live?

Hi J, I can remember Reaney Daley, Geoffrey Allan, George Hibberd he lived on Weedon Street, Jacqueline Pierce, Valerie Ashworth and Jacqueline Ashworth I think they lived at the top of Carbrook Street before the Stores. Christine Strutt, Carol Outram, Linda Smith, Lynn Kemp, Alan and June Hollingsworth, Maurice Hartley, Tousi Kemp, Larry Frith, Tamba Smith. Did you go to C of E school or Carbrook County?

The pictures on Staniforth Road was the Regal, there was also the Pavilion before the Globe and the Adelphi was just passed Newhall Road.

Hi Cleegirl The fellow who gave the skates out was called Roy Darwin he had a sister called June and they both used to dance on skates and were very good. I used to go caroling on Xmas Eve until I had enough money to go to the skates, great memories. I was born on Melville Road off Broughton Lane in 1944.

Brilliant! Great Memories Lash Larue?

Yes Jim Brilliant then and after seeya soon he used to say Ha and gallop off on his horse, great reminders

Yes I remember your grandparents very well I was born on Melville Road off Broughton Lane and was always in their shop. They were the best fish and chips in the whole wide world and have never found any others to touch them. I remember your grandad had really bushy eyebrows which used to facinate me when I was a kid. Ian was a bit older than me, but remember seeing him talking to his parents in the shop. I can remember all their faces even now. The shop was also known as Bells.

I remember being afraid of the Cuba crisis and thinking it might start a war. I was 18 at the time.
