Guest Ant   #1 Posted May 9, 2005 Did anyone on here live on Rutland Road/Square or have relatives who lived in that area? My great granny ran the sweet shop on Rutland Road before it got too much for her & they converted it to a normal house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Guest Ant   #3 Posted May 10, 2005 No, that was the guards' room and a bedroom at the gatekeepers house where my grandparents lived at the Stones garage on Burton Road: here  The house is behind the car, and the guards' room door can be seen to the right of the steering wheel.

pastille   10 #4 Posted June 30, 2007 My aunt and Uncle (Bownes) had a grocers shop on Rutland Road in the 50's and 60's. Sugar was sold in blue bags,and butter was in big blocks which were cut to whatever weight you wanted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Guest Ant   #6 Posted July 1, 2007 I'll mention the names to my Mother - I'm sure she'll know of the Bownes name, she often talked about the shop.  I have a hand-drawn map my Mother made of the square when she lived there, but there's no Gardener mentioned. He'll have known my grandad, Fred Deakin. Or possibly my Grandmother's family - The Burns. Or less likely, my Dad - William Atkin.

Guest Ant   #8 Posted July 2, 2007 Ah, we have a match!  My Mother has labelled the house at the junction of Rutland Road and Rutland Street "Dawes".  My Mum's family lived just around the corner - Maureen, Shirley and Margaret Deakin. I would have thought Susan Dawes went to the same school. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
