St Silas church

Recommended Posts

My wife attended that church and also took tap-dancing lessons with the vicar's daughter at the vicarage. She thinks the name was something like Postlethwaite. That would be around 1954/5. She also attended St. Silas School.[/QUO

I was a cub in the 145th finishing in 1958 when we were rehoused from Hodgson St. to Woodhouse. I'd never seen so much countryside! I remember well Rev Haythornthwaite, my parents used to say that if you shook hands with him you'd find a church gift envelope in your palm! Aso went to the St. Silas school with such as Albert Price, Linda Hall and Lois Lambert.

Yes I remember Derby pub and Vauses chipshop. I lived on Egerton St and a lot of the pubs were named after towns or cities: Scarborough, Lincoln, Norfolk (Gilchrists). My Dad used to say he was going on a trip down the East coast when he used to go out for a pint or two.

Hi Bald Eagle,

 

Albert Price, Linda Hall and Lois Lambert were in the same class as me. Who are you?

Bald Eagle I was trying to remember the names of my class mates from way back then but I know that I am missing a few names. Are you one of the names I can remember?

Albert and Raymond Price, Linda Hall, Michael Yellott, Lois Lambert, Steven Marriott, Susan Mullins, Peter Gowers, Hazel Dutton, George France, Margaret Siddall, Jimmy Elwes, Christine Webster, Gary Rhodes, Susan Weightmen, David Pegg, Linda Carnall, David Hodgkinson (not certain of this surname but something similar) June Leary, Carol Whiting (Carol had a brother named David who I think was Down Syndrome but not sure)

See if you can remember more names than me and see if you remember me.

The sad news is that Albert passed away about 3 or 4 years ago.
