Anyone come from Grimesthorpe? (Part 2)

[johnpm 18]

From the 53rd I can see Les Cusworth & I think Ian Pinhorn is back row 5th from left (as you look at it). I recognise lad to Ian's right from 53rd but can't give him a name. I think Neil Ward may be 5th from left on middle row with Les Minnis to his left. I have sent photo to Neil for him to let us know if its him & if so when was it.

I am surprised that the 53rd has so few there.

Chris Crossey thinks some of the 42nd (probably actually 21st Platoon at the time) are there too & its the time when Roy Crossey was involved in it.

I have found from Neil Ward (who is on photo) that it was taken at Sheringham in 1962

Sad news, Winnie Martin who used to live on the corner of Southwell Rd passed away yesterday well into her nineties. She had moved to a nursing home in Chapeltown just last week to be near to her son John.

Just come back from the school run to find the bulldozers knocking down St holidays church, so sad, those lovely stone pillars being knocked to the ground :-(

 

 

Which and where is that church? Never heard of St holidays!

[johnpm 18]

Can any former Grimesthorpe BB members identify anyone from this 21st and 53rd BB Camp at Sheringham about 1962. Come on TFishcake and Hawkshead Boy you are pictured on here!

 

 

I should have posted to this. Neil Ward says that yes it was Sheringham in 1962.

Think it should have read St Hildas, Windmill Lane.

This is not on topic I know but I am wondering if anybody could answer my query. Tupholmes heating and ventilating (also known as a sheetmetal co) was situated on one of the roads off Petre St, I'm talking walking on the righthand side with your back to town after the houses had finished and facing the end of Petre St, there was a small road that went down (?), I think a part of Firth Browns might have been on the left side of this road and Tupholmes faced them. My questions are, does Tupholmes still exist? if so, is it the same company with the same name doing the same thing, or did it change hands and possibly go into a different line of work or even if the building still exists?

Sad to hear the news of Mrs Martin, my mother always called her Winnie Barson, not many left on Southwell now, that I knew.

I was down in Sheffield last weekend for Great Sheffield Flood 150th Commemorations as my gt gt grandad John King was killed in it. last Sunday morning I went to the Reform Chapel Anniversary service & took a variety of photos inside & out which may bring back memories to Grimesthorpians who went there. One or two you may not recognise!

Great pics John and lovely to see inside again after nearly sixty years! Looks well cared for. I only went into the area where the pews and organ are a few times, but those two pics have revived my memory. Looks much brighter now than I remember it!

 

Regards, Peter.

Great photos John, one little question, does the stage in the side chapel still exist? As you probably remember that's where they held the Panto's, they were very professional with excellent costuming, they had make -up artists come in to do all actors make-up, as I have said before, it was all very professional.

Hi beezerboy - The two postings answered my questions, one company left or went out of business, at some point another company took over the premises and it would seem to be doing similar work in the fabricating industry. Thanks a bunch.
