I think the off licence on hill side was Allotts , there was a lady called Mrs Morley who lived up there, also twin girls their surname was Owen

I was at school with Pat Dudley she was in the same year as me, as I remember she was a slight blond girl, her dad was a tall chap. I left Botham Street in 1960.

Hi all I lived in Botham Street in the forties & fifties the Walshshaws was 2 girls & 2 boys the other girl was called Barbara. I remember the Butlers Johnny the father use to organise street games after the Grimesthorpe Feast Walk

Hi all, I grew up on Botham St. one of the houses just below the bus stop. My gran lived on Upwell Hill, I can vaguely remember the prefabs being built. Two of the girls I went to school with lived on there.

I worked at Greeting Card House in 1958 I am a friend of Edwina and still am we went to school together.

The Hirst family lived a few doors from me . Mr & Mrs Hirst passed on, I don't know what happened to the boys but the last I heard Jane lived on Kiveton Lane with her husband & family.

My mum worked at GEC until she retired in the late 1970ties she worked in the coil dept. She worked there when it was Metro Vickers and English Electric.

Merry Christmas and A Happy and Peaceful New Year to all Grimesthorpians near and far. Jean J

Hemmingway's lived in the same yard as me, mother & father was Charlie & Pat, the kids names was John, Rodney, & Patricia. In the book that Alan Billam wrote is a photo of Patricia with my dog taken on Peter st. After school I sometimes helped in the shop.

Hi I remember Mortimers shop on Carlisle st but I am older than the person you are looking for. Try looking on "Any one from Grimesthorpe" there is sure to be someone on that site that will know her.
