Anyone come from Grimesthorpe? (Part 2)

[fleetwood 10]

Still not coming to me,cant recall Thains remember the Sharps .I'll have a word with our Sue see if she can help with sisters names.

Thains beer-off was on the corner of Margate and Cyclops St, I have an aunt that went to school with their daughter, I think they were there from possibly mid to late forties to early fifties.

i knew him as brinny but forgot second name.

anyway they lived in your house -- then they went, thats when you

On that tip you mention hehe their was a hill that was a shortcut that led down to Petre st. - Iv'e mentioned this before at the end of the war people were digging their Anderson shelters out of their respective yards and they wound up on that tip where all the local kids fashioned a huge galvenised slide down that hill from all the shelter parts. - Telegraph and Star sent a reporter and took pictures, I wonder if that picture is still around anywhere?
