Anyone from Attercliffe 1961/68 who knew John and Alan Smith

[glennC 10]

The names I remember from my halcyon days on the Cliffe were, Pete Beresford(who I know has posted on here) Michael Nash, Roger Souter, Barry Smith, Michael Bickerdike, Glenn and Denis Thompson and I do remember John Stead and if I do remember correctly he did want to be a jockey.

 

In an earlier post someone mentioned Georgie Woods barbers, he had the most amazing contraption, it was a wheel on a pole with a seat on the top and he used to sit on it while he cut your hair:D.

 

I can vividly recall my man taking me there and I used to sit in horror as Georgie used to singe the hair on the mens heads as I thought he might do it to me:loopy:

 

I left Attercliffe in 1966 to go to Brinsworth where I still am to this day, but in 1990 I bought the Lunch Box café and on our first day there my mam Nellie came to give us a hand, after the café had closed we went outside for a cuppa, she turned to me and said "We've come home kid"

 

And do you know what, she was right, Attercliffe will always be considered as home to anyone who was brought up there in the 50s and 60s:nod:

My Mum's family moved back to Attercliffe in 1967 from Barton on Humber, the Hopwoods. My Grandparents were Hetty and Ernest and their kids were Brian, Cynthia, Carol (my Mum) and Geoff.  Sadly, out of all of them there's only my Uncle Geoff left.

I am looking for anyone who remembers us, John and Alan Smith, Baltic Rd. Attercliffe. I would like to get in touch with some old friends from the 60s. This is John who now lives Canada.

I knew you both and your Dad, I think we lived next yard from us, I was Margaret Bell then, now Margaret Savage. My Mum and Dad were Audrey and Arthur Bell. We called you the twins mostly but I remember you didn’t look the same. I think you may remember the Denials, my grandparents. Also the Habajams across road from us. How is life in Canada suiting you John, is Alan still over here?  I live in Aston not too far away from Attercliffe. PS My sister is Ann Bell.
