GORDONSTON

Hello Dave , !!! It's been a while ! , yes we were big friends in our childhood we played together constantly until our lives split when we flitted and started our working lives ?. I do not recall seeing you at Chaucer Comp. ? where Pam and myself ended up . Yes we played many many hours with the entries as goals , the railings in the middle , and of course cricket ...do you remember how many windows we smashed !! plus climbing on the roof to get the balls back ...I could go on for hours ?. Phil Hartley lived in the corner of the first floor which was underneath my Grandma & Grandads which was nu.13 !! the Charlesworths , the Woollens had two daughters Gillian ...but I forget the other ? I think ??? John Cole went to Australia ?. I remember Jimmy & Pat , Bryan Young and his mum ended up on the same St. as us at our new house at Broomhall ( near the Hallamshire Hosp.) I'm afraid he died a couple of years later , do you remember how he used to make cricket stumps for us ?. The last time I saw you , I was up a ladder and you were driving a dumper truck with very long hair !! out Mosboro/Halfway , we didn't get to speak for some reason ?. Well Jennifer and myself ended up living out here but Pam is now in Louth Lincolnshire . Well I certainly couldn't play Foota with you anymore !!! LOL....am sixty bloody six !! time flies !. Gordon.

Yes , Andrea lived on the top floor in the opposite corner to our Nan , They were Mr & Mrs Shaw as was Mr & Mrs ( Bill ) Shaw who lived next to us at No.9 ? , two Shaw's ...confusing !, we flitted from No. 1 to No 10 in 1954 ,so the Shaw's would already have been there. Confused .... there was also two Smith families as well !!!!.

Hello , I am Pammie 's brother . Rosalin and Gilliam Woollen lived on the middle floor , they moved to Chesterfield Rd, I think ? , John Cole lived directly above them on the top floor next door to our Nan. I heard that John went to Australia ? but again not certain. Mrs Young also had a disabled son Brian who loved cricket and used to make us cricket stumps at Remploy !!, sadly he died a few years after the demolition. I thought the café owner was Percy ? but it could have been Horace ? , he opened another café just across the road.
