Anyone come from Grimesthorpe? (Part 2)

[Southweller 10]

Sorry to hear about Walt Dawson. He was one of the true charaters of our area.

Thanks for pointing the way cat631 to the post with the pictures on, that must have been hard work. I haven't looked at all the pictures, but in Church and Chapel people I spotted Neil, The Miller on this forum. Gone but not forgotten.

Since Dors started the 'Anyone From Grimesthorpe' thread in 2006, many of us have posted pictures of people and places in old Grimesthorpe. Unfortunately, as the posts move on, many pictures and photos are lost or forgotten. Most of those downloaded from Picture Sheffield have gone, I assume there must be a time limit on them.

Searching for a particular photo is difficult due to only being able to see the Photobucket address and not the actual photo .

Hi cat631, I have just spent the last hour and a half looking through your pics.Absolutely brilliant.

Although I am not a Grimesthorpian ( I'm originally a Page Hall Lad ) I do like to read this thread on a regular basis. I have contributed to it a few times myself. I know quite a few of the people on here as well. I was very surprised to see people from your reunion nights who I know but didn't realise that they were originally from Grimesthorpe. My brother in law is on a couple of the photo's. Talking of the old photo's, I remember some of those sights very well. I used to work at Brown Bayley's and would walk from Page Hall to Attercliffe through Grimesthorpe on a regular basis. Thanks for bringing some fond memories back.

Yes I sure do. We were good mates at one time. Some years ago we spotted each other in the Northern General. Hope she is well.

Hi Cat, Have just been looking at the photos, they really brought back loads of happy memoirs. There is one with a question mark, I think it is Firvale (where the traffic lights are now) looking from the old hospital gate down towards Owler Lane, the church spire threw me though, but could it be the church, long gone, on Wincobank Lane.

Yes she's fine 4 children /2 married quite a few years older than the younger 2 who are both teachers and unmarried and 6 grandchildren. You may have seen her when my dad was in NGH about 14 years ago. Must tell her I have been chatting to you on this thread when I see her later this week.

Ralph many thanks for the photos. Especially the photo of Neil R. & Les Cusworth, which brought back many fond memories of my time in the Life Boys and Boys Brigade and Sunday School at Grimesthorpe W R chapel. I was very sad that my first trip down to a reunion missed Neil's last ever visit by just 6 months.

I've not lived in Grimesthorpe since our house on Adsetts Street was demolished in1969/70 - but the memories of growing up in the area are still easily brought to mind as are the people, even though it is decades since I may have seen some of them.

 

Don.
