Hey up gaz, he built my super dream in 1980 nice bloke, very quiet man. I had my bike tested last year at beavers on grange lane by stuart ,hes a nice bloke anall. Im sure i heard Tom had passed away.? ....sorry Tom if you ant.

I'm sure our Cath will remember you both,she's older than me. I really can't believe that. I never realised that was Debbie. Did you recognize me from grimesthorpe ,when we were down Gower st.

Well I'm gob smacked, I never knew that. When we're down Gower street years back , I never realised that ,that was Debbie from Hunsley st how thick am i. Jenine sends her love.

7Hi sheila,Nice to hear from you,me and Jenine got married in 93, we have 1 daughter and 2 grand kids. Is Debbie (Debbie hepplestone),youre sister.

We are mate,and to say it's best part of 50 years and we are all still talking about it, it must have been a special place to us all.

I mean ruthin st I think you're right gaz, thats the name i was thinking of.

We pinders lived at 34 botham st ,the steps to our yard were at the top of hunsley st,on the right going up.

I was born in 62,so i must have been very young but i remember it.its amazing what you remember.

Hi st Petre What year do you think it was ,would it have been in the late 60s?

I remember the quary finding it completely by accident with a few mates about 1970 We had come over from grimesthorpe ,one of our mates fell in the water We never went back it was a frightening place we were about 8 years old.

Hi does anyone remember the massive fire at Firth browns one summer we had been to skegg it must have been the works weeks and when we got back Carlisle st was closed off and firth browns was destroyed

Hi I was just reading this forum on grimethorpe and saw my name I'm Tony pinder how are all you old people. I lived on botham street from 1962 Till I think 72 I loved it and i wish I could go back Summers were always red hot and winters were always 6foot of snow Bloody miss it Now ive got grand kids and they are always on about global warming they should have lived next to firth Brown's for a few years Polution I'll show you bloody polution It was fantastic. Miss you all Every bloody one of you x

Yes ..i tell my kids that ,but it seldom works,i think something more proactive is called for.

Thanks for your reply jane if my memory serves me did they live in the yard opposite the who can tell,and you are older than them .in the same yard as an old lady that lived in the corner house.i think she was called mrs green.

Im wracking my brain to remember you jane ,can you helpme out.sorry. Do you reme ber my sister catherine

Forgot to say kaye lived over the back from my mum ,my mum lived on gregg house cres and kaye lived on sicey av which backed on to it . Were angie and stuart blonde haired kids.?

Wow, yes i do remember kev renwick,tiny little lad with round glasses ,just like me , we went on a mission one day to the quarry opposite shiregreen cemetry now jacobs drive and the quarry was full of water, kev fell in ,the sides were very slippy ,we had a right job getting him out,it terrified us,we were so lucky,ill never forget how scared we all were. The wilsons moved to shiregreen,michell,delise,wayne and malcom, wayne was my best mate back then,malc and my little brother went missing one day ,they had been gone all day ,they had ended up over burngreave and the nuns found them and bathed them ,our terry was only 3. Its amasing what memories come flooding back,so thanks for them memories,they're priceless..

Its never pointless if you want to see change mate. There is always an answer to the problem its just finding it.

Sorry to hear about your dad mate . My memory is shocking i cant believe how much you remember,i remember a few people , Pete farnell he moved to shiregreen and we lived a few doors apart in the 90s. Kieth ford, he moved to shiregreen and still lives here, I remember the baileys, the wilsons from the bottom of botham st, and i remember michell seal from school,i liked michell she was a right laugh at school. When i read some of the names mentioned i remember the names but not the faces,but i left grimme in 72 and i was only 10 . when you all went to whiteways i never went there.i went to hartley brook then firth park comp. After we moved to shiregreen i spent all my time at my grand parents on skinnethorpe.

I understand people's frustrations in seeing page hall in such a state,but i dont see how just washing our hands of the situation can resolve it. I didn't know that the council go every other day to clean the streets,if thats the case then surely there are leaders of the community that could be doing more. I grew up in page hall and its sad to see such decline but i fear it will just get worse if there is no intervention of any kind from the wider community,they need help,that im sure of.

So why dont we all get together one weekend with them ,get some vans and clean the place up . It would be a start .... From small acorns mate ,and all that ..

Hi gary course i remember you How are you , Did you know my mum went to school with youre dad.
