Thurley Place off terry street Attercliffe

scrunits I can remember the Hunt family making oatcakes and pikelets in a small outbuilding at the bottom of Amberley Street. I remember it well because my older brother who took objection to having to take me with him and his older mates once sent me into Hunts place to ask if they wanted anyone to punch holes in pikelets. They also made me call in to Mansells Funeral establishment opposite Carbrook Council School to see if they had any empty boxes.

Don't remember the horses Allen but yes I remember Gordon Gregory again nearer to my sister Enid's age but remember him playing marbles in the street.

 

Before I was born my grandad and grandma Barthorpe used to keep the Bird in Hand pub. Enid was born there. Though I didn't know your mum I'm sure I am remembering her coming down Melville Road in a pinafore on the other side from Mrs Bernard. Did Stan used to live somewhere here with his family. Do you remember George and Malcolm Peacock. Yes Lewis Gelsthorpe does live in Canada I met up with him about 4 years ago regards Marie

Grandpa passed away in 1971, aged 71, I was seven, and my sister was just about to turn five.

 

Yes he was slender and (obviously to a child) he seemed tall. I remember his house well, down to the brown pot sink in the kitchen, and the smell of tea.

 

I don't really remember the people from the other houses in his yard, except the Malkins next door. From what I remember of what my mum told me, when my grandpa fell and broke his hip, it was the Malkins and the milkman who came to his help. Sadly, after a stay in hospital having his hip pinned and plated, he got pneumonia as a result of being immobilised, and he passed away.

Hello Plain Talker

 

I do remember going to your mum's house a couple of times as a child, is Dorothy your mum. I think I saw her a few years ago at a school reunion at the carbrook hall, but I am not sure. I remember Janet had ginger hair.

Hi Allan what a lovely mum you had. Kieth & Sharon I remember their names what was their mum's name. Did I used to see your dad with a miners hat on as well. These really are childhood memories Do you remember the Machins or Makins husband and wife window cleaners they lived in the yard above Edna it had no roof on the entry. I can also remember a Christine Wolstenholm lived in the other corner from Edna for a while. Terry Hazel used to live in the same yard as the corner shop Bacons or Iris's. In 1979 we all moved from the area for slum clearance I lived on the Scraithwood estate off Herries Road there used to be prefabs near the owls football ground. Pete Ross was my neighbour. Do you remember the storm when the houses in Ednas yard were struck by lightening. regards Marie
