Interesting, Although from Swallownest, 1940-1968, Driffield near Bridlington 1968 - start of 2007 and from the start of 2007 to here, Malaysia I have some information about Balmoral Road and Woodhouse generally. Halfway down on the right was the house of Jim Maxwell, who had a Coach, later his son Nobby joined in once he could drive and finished his national service. 2 or 3 doors down lived a family by the name of Willy Brooks and his wife, they were the parents of Ken Brooks who married my mothers younger sister, Hilda Marshall. Ken was in the army during WW2 In the same yard of 4 no houses, the bottom one was the Finlay family, son called Trevor - they had the betting shop in Woodhouse My father lived on Sheffield Road until he married my mother in 1939, his family name Hutchinson Hope this information is helpful Best Wishes and Bon Chance

I am originally from an old Swallownest family but left for Driffield in late 1967 Just wondering if I know any of your family I knew a few who were still at Swallownest School and who moved on to the new school just over the top of Diggers Hill, before the start of Aughton, a name which springs to mind being Ken Siddall, from the farm at Fence Best Wishes, Victor, Malaysia

I remember that Stanilands had a fruit and veg stall in the Sheffield Market I also knew one of the sons, Vincent, he moved to Aston around 1962 - he and his wife had a very young child, but no idea if it was a boy or a girl With one of his neighbour's, at the time he tried to start Aston Residents Association, meeting once a week at the Yellow Lion Pub in Aston Vince worked on the family stall in the market. We would all be in our 20's then I lived in Swallownest at that time, but left in 1963 to live and work in Oldham, back to Swallownest a few years later, then to Driffield near Bridlington in 1968, then to Malaysia, at the start of 2007 - still living in Malaysia at 83. Hope this brief information helps all of you gather more Staniland Family information and history Best Wishes - V.M.

Correct, off the top of Coisley Hill, on the left. I think, then, there was a small garage on the other side of the road I am thinking back to 1963/4 My late father lived on Sheffield Road until abut age 14, (1931) then moved to Market Place My wife and I left Swallownest in October 1969, for Driffield, near Bridlington, and in January 2007 moved to our present home in Wangsa Baiduri, Subang Jaya, State of Selangor, Malaysia - hot and sunny 365 days a year, and low cost (petrol is equal to UK Pounds 1-50 gallon) Regards - Victor - (9-13am and already 92 degrees)

I remember that she lived, originally, near the top of the hill gong down from Woodhouse to Intake, I think the lane was the original road to the colliery. She met Gerald when they both worked at Tungsten Carbide Developments at the old colliery site I knew Gerald, he lived with his wife across from the bottom of Handsworth Grange Road Regards - Victor

RIP Margaret - was she married to Gerald Biggin after his divorce. ??

I remember a Margaret ??? Fidler and the name Batham rings a bell - possibly a Barry Batham ????

There was a Tony Rippon in my class at Woodhouse Grammar School from September 1951 I have no idea where he lived but could have been the Intake area. He will be 82/83 years old now, probably born in 1940 Small amount of information, but hope it is helpful to you. Best Wishes ad Good Hunting - Victor M. Hutchinson - Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia

Dear Norbert, My father was from Sheffield Road, Woodhouse, Victor Bartholomew Hutchison, born February 13, 1917 He worked in his uncle's shop on Market Place - G.L. Curr and Son, later taken over by Uncle George's son, also called George. It was originally a Watchmakers and Jewelers but added radios, cycles, and later television. Next door to the right was Bill Whites chemists shop and to the left Wynn Camden who sold ladies' hats. - also there was the George Hotel pub Old Joe Mollinari the ice cream man from Beighton went in there every night after his rounds, whilst the horse and cart were outside waiting for him. Many nights he was very drunk and so he was loaded into the cart, the horse slapped and it would gallop home to Beighton Across the road was the newsagents, which may have been called Crosslands - the name Cyril Crossland comes to mind At the bottom of the yard behind the shops was a row of old cottages, and also garages where Keeton kept their wedding and funeral cars I can visualize much more but cannot recall the names at the moment, I will add to this later after some more thought My mothers younger sister, Hilda married Ken Brooks from Balmoral Road and after marriage my uunty looked after Morris's furniture shop on Beighton Road, and about 1950 moved to a new house on the Ballified Estate. Nest to Mosrrises was Fox's butchers shop, they had 2 sons,Peter and Glyn My cousins who went to the Woodhouse school were Michael and Christine Brooks and they transferred to the school on Ballfield Estate after moving house I will add to this later after giving names another thought.
