Wadsley village

Recommended Posts

I noticed the name of Terry Dooley whilst browsing through the Wadsley Village

notices recently and wonder if it is the same guy who attended Wisewood Seco dary Modern at the same time I did. It was probably early fifties. As I remember his name when a first knew him was Flanagan, but I recall we were told that his name was to change to Dooley. I would like anyone who remembers this time to get in touch. I was Maureen Hutton and lived on Hallowmoor Road on the Wisewood estate.

 

My mothers family lived on Stour Lane Wadsley Village, their name was Ibbotson. My uncle Vic. was the village cobbler - quite a character. I remember supposedly helping out at his workshop on occasions, I watching and listening to his anecdotes with the various people who visited for a chat as much as anything.

 

I have sent messages previously, but so far no response. Hope I will have more luck this time.

I remember the 40' + 50's at wisewood school and people in wadsley, wisewood and the Sutton estate. I used to play with Jennifer Armitage when her parents were licencees of the wadsley star, I remember her joining the sea cadets but sadly she died when she was about 27. a Mrs Brooks had the wool shop across the road from the star, she was related to the Armitages. In my class at the junior school there was David Batty,R Waistnidge, Eileen Battle, Pamela Peach ,B walmesly, R Bentley, Maureen Revill , Keith Valentine and jean Ibbotson.

Hello, sounds like `R Waistnidge` may be the brother of an `old` schoolfriend of mine - Alan Waistnidge…?? Lived near Balmain or Dunella? Rd

I also remember Terry Dooley.

 

I think it is possible that we were in the same class at junior school. I remember most of the names you mention and think that Jean Ibbotson was my cousin on my mother's side,

 

If you are the same Terry Dooley I remember I will never forget my triumph when you slogged the ball and I "caught you out" playing rounders in the school yard. A teacher by the name of Maxi was supervising and he was totally unimpressed.

 

keep in touch

circa 1960's, I lived there until 68/69 when we had to leave the village, move onto the wisewood estate.

We lived in the cottages at the top of stour lane, adjoining the top house pub (rose n crown). We had to move out because the brewery wanted to extend the pub through the neighbouring 3 cottages.

My grandad Bill Fox lived next door to pub, then the cartwrights then we lived in the far end cottage.

The Trickett family had the pub in the 60's then later on Ted Catlin took it over.

Other things I can remember...

Nellie Betneys shop

Conroys shop

co-op next to hairdressers

Doctor Lamb

Jews pitch(football) on the common

Anyone got anymore memories?

 

My mum's family lived in an old cottage on Stour Lane The Ibbotson family).

The cottage was demolished many years ago to make way for new housing.

One of my uncles (Vic Ibbotson) was the village cobbler for years, what a character.

I attended Wisewood School and lived on Hallowmoor Road. Happy days. I

I recognise the name Trickett and feel we have mutual acquaintances.

Hello - my maiden name was Hutton and yes Maureen is right. Jean Ibbotson is my cousin. I remember the teachers you mention, also pupils Douggie Franks, David Batty, Brian Walmsley all loveable rogues as I remember, good times. Been chased around the playground many times (wish I could run like that now),
