lynn.55 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Me and my husband bought a house on Uttley St when we were first married in the early 70s. Cost us £400 Two years later we moved to Wixley Rd due to slum clearance. Not long after that we moved to Phillimore Rd school and became caretakers.Happy times and such friendly people.

tripleu Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 My mum grew up in Darnall - she lived on Bridport Road and went to Whitby Road School. She was a MayQueen one year (but I don't know which). She's just turned 70 - my nan and grandad lived in the same house until it was demolished and they moved to a flat on the Greenland estate. I remember they had a big shared yard and the old air raid shelter was still there even when I was little (at least that's what my Grandad used to tell us it was!)

Fletchp Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I lived at 88 Coleford Road in the early sixties in my nans house before my mum and dad got their own place on the Manor. There was Devoties ice cream yard at the bottom of our road opposite the corner shop. At the top were some private garages just before the old rectory house..My aunty Ethel Holmes had the sweets shop just below the fire station on Darnall main Road.. Heres a wierd thing..After I first met my wife I went with her to meet her mum one day and she asked my where I lived when I was young as she knew the Fletcher name..It turns out they lived in the house right next door to us at no 90 although I had moved by then but she used to see me when I'd come and visit my nan..
