Hi! I remember the woollens and pat as well! Also the shops! Plus posh blanchards! I went to upperthorpe school but changed to Philadelphia as it was nearer! Then off to Chaucer secondary! Dad went to the gatefield! It was opposite our flat windows!

hya,spent my youth in there ,langsette cycles across the road,the old gatefield pub , just a bit further up . the dragon pub a little further down ,i remember the wollens who lived above the cafe, you are right about the owners name , it was horace ,his daughter also worked there, her name i think was pat ,:)

 

Hi Roy, would that be Rosalind Woollen? I know she lived somewhere around there. She went to same school as me. She had an aunt who had a flower shop on Meadow Street I think.

I remember a chap called Jack Call, he had a son, John. I think at least one of them worked at Osbornes.

Hello , I am Pammie 's brother . Rosalin and Gilliam Woollen lived on the middle floor , they moved to Chesterfield Rd, I think ? , John Cole lived directly above them on the top floor next door to our Nan. I heard that John went to Australia ? but again not certain. Mrs Young also had a disabled son Brian who loved cricket and used to make us cricket stumps at Remploy !!, sadly he died a few years after the demolition. I thought the café owner was Percy ? but it could have been Horace ? , he opened another café just across the road.

Not so bad Roy, how`s yourself? Wouldn`t it be nice if we could turn the clock back for a while and visit all these places again. I bet a million people have said that and my favourite era would be the 50s/60s.

Hi! Gordonston wow more names I now remember!

[Blackbeard 10]

My wife tells me she was born at No9 above Marsden's Pork butchers, she left there in 1953.

[Pammie 10]

We lived next door at no 10 but that could be a bit later! Mrs shaw and her family lived there when we did. They had a daughter called Andrea!

 

Actually Andrea might be the name of the girl who lived above them! Soooo very long ago!!

Memory!

[GORDONSTON 10]

Yes , Andrea lived on the top floor in the opposite corner to our Nan , They were Mr & Mrs Shaw as was Mr & Mrs ( Bill ) Shaw who lived next to us at No.9 ? , two Shaw's ...confusing !, we flitted from No. 1 to No 10 in 1954 ,so the Shaw's would already have been there. Confused .... there was also two Smith families as well !!!!.
