:Looks like you've got it sussed. Casemates I remember it well when i lived there It wasn't that nice but when i went to Gib in 98 ish it was going under a lot of improvement and suspect it's quite nice now...............do you live in La Linea?????????????

I was there between 1981 and 83 don't remember any names just faces

The house featutred on the corner used to be occupied by a family called the Smedly's Ian & Gail the children

I was posted there between 88 & 90 and don't remember half names as well as some of you guys who where there years before me.I was always playing football and not in the pub.Those all weather pitches ironic really as you could play football on them if it had rained or was raining

Have ever visited Gibraltar?????????????

My dad Charles Edwards worked @Firth Browns in the 70's and 80' before redundancy..Sadly he passed away some years ago..so I never got to know what he did there.But in later years when I started work I met a man called Arnie Bowler and I think he liked it he used to say ''if he wasn't in bed before midnight summat were wrong'' they even used to bring beds in. I grew up in the Ellesmere area and remember hearing loud hammer going through the night 1000 pouder or higher?????????????no double glazing then..

Do you recall a Teacher called Miss Quebiack who taught at Ellesmere schoool during the early seventies. She was a Scottish lady

Hi thanks for your great reply.We must have walked the same turf, you reminded me of a lot of other people&places.like the parky who worked the wembley playground (strange job full employment post war policy)he was Scottish i think and didn't take any shi.... rubbish.and the Junk shop on the junction of Ellesmere Rd and Petre St.Which never seemed to be open and had a large golden Labrador as a guard who would bark at anyone who came anywhere near the shop. I also rember playing football in the play ground of Ellesmere school for hours on end, if we could get a ball,and the peace gardens of the community club. And the Palfreymans who owned the corner shop.As I remember she was a small blond lady who wore glasses and he was quite tall (I was a 5 year old kid everyone's tall)and enjoyed a cigar.they also owned a Rover car I think. I came in to contact with a family called Palfreyman a few years ago, from Eckington I wonder if their related.........

Yes Mate I was a pupil there between 76 and 81 we might have just missed each other.Mr Kitchen Ron Reid Mr Jessop miss Nolan miss Woolans Mr Clarke who else Mr Morton Mr Reagan Mr Guest Mr Lewis Mr Styan Mr Cockshutt Mr Whittle Mr Farmer Mr Taylor and probably many more if i think on crazy school but pretty cool
