Anyone From Carbrook?

[ThurleyStan 10]

For anyone interested in joining the Firth Park "60" this year reunion, take a look at the facebook group "60 This School Year Reunion Firth Park Comp". All of the details are there, Gill Smith (wife of Alan Smith Berkley St) is co-ordinating the site and more names are needed. Thanks for the names (Tash I have some photos of Carbrook bowling club, photos of your dad that you might be interested in). Some characters I'm mindful of that I don't believe have contacted the facebook group- Susan Moj, Janice Fields, Doreen Broomhead, Carol shirt. Strange that it's all the girls I'm remembering :-) . I know Pete Boldock, Steve Asquith and Bob Bolan are on the Facebook group, Tash is aware too. As for Attercliffe memories, Mr Metham and Attercliffe baths, swimming galas, OXO and iced gems, strange whiffs in the post bath showers and the joy of the toyshop on the way back with as much stock as Redgates all packed into a front room.

You did go to Carbrook with me Tez, (my nickname was Stan, real name John Staniforth). My dad was Harry, mum Elaine, they were good friends of your mum and dad, also of Nigel Wild's mum and dad. I expect Nige went to and stayed in Blackpool, he was obsessed with the place. Can't think why. I was in the Thurley Place mafia with Bob, Steve, his brother John, my brother Harry, Gary Graham and Paul Neville. My grandad (another Harry, Steadfast St) was also a friend of your Dad via the bowls club, hence the Carbrook bowls team photos.

I'm definitely going to the reunion Tash. Hope to meet up with Bob B' and Steve A' this month for a beer. I'll post a link to my onedrive photos once I've uploaded 5 posts (site moderator rules). I'm interested in the names of the people in the Carbrook crown green bowls photos. While on, two more names spring to mind, Paul Box and Stephen King. I know Steve went into the army when he left school, not sure what happened to Paul.

Hi Pete M, I remember you I remember Stan Ward now that you've reminded us. The details for the Firth Park/Hatfield House Lane reunion are "Saturday 17 June 2017. Civil Sports Club, Green Lane, Ecclesfield from 7.30pm". Gill Eccles-Smith needs to know numbers and can be contacted via the facebook group I mentioned earlier in this thread. Hope to see you in June.

Hi John,

 

I remember you from what seems like two or three life times ago now. I was in the year above you at school and know lots of the names you mentioned including Gary Graham, Alan Smith and Paul Neville. My best mates were Andrew Barber, Andrew Davis and Philip Rodgers do you remember them.

[ThurleyStan 10]

A friend of mine, Stephen/Steven Davis lived on Bold St and was a friend of the people you mentioned too. I'm sure Phil Rogers moved to the Flower estate if memory serves. Steve's family moved to Handsworth and he joined the RE bomb disposal unit when he left school aged 16. Steve had a younger sister, I can't remember her name though. Also from memory, a classmate Doreen Broomhead lived close by (Bold St). What would your name be?
