daisydaisy22 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Does your dad know what happened to the Kellys? I used to knock around with Jeff and he had two younger twin brothers I remeber the blind man that used to stand at the bottom of Rokeby road, he was little and thin with bang straight white hair, he seemed scary when we were young but after talking to him he was a really nice bloke.

Bushbaby Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 At the very end of Wordsworth Avenue, just up from the Herries Rd junction, there is a sign which says “Welcome to Southey” Southey? SOUTHEY?? This is Parson Cross surely?? Southey doesn’t start until at least part way up Donovan. The Fortyfoot is a Parson Cross pub. The first “Welcome to Parson Cross” sign is near Doe Royd. This would mean that The Ritz is at Southey? Shum Mishtake Shurrly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard PX5 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 richard px5, just seen your picture of parson cross i like the pulp ---- with common poeple looking at the empty houses. -------------------- who burnt them front of the houses. it was vandals that burned down the houses,, i was just going to visit my parents on parson cross and thought i would stop and take some pics, i was going to go in some of the burned out houses for some pics but it was way too dangerous. its such a shame to see px like it was but i did it cos people was wanting to know whats been happening on the cross as far away as oz,, some people was not happy about my vids i put on youtube as it was potraying it as a bad estate, i put them on so people could see whats happened on the estate but its onwards and upwards on the cross as buchannon regeneration is coming on great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOUTHEY?? This is Parson Cross surely?? Maybe..... but not always ! Parson Cross started life on the far side of Halifax Road, hence the location of Parson Cross Road and Parson Cross School. That was the case 100 years ago. Going up Halifax Road - The Cross on the left and Southey on the right. And Southey covered Doe Royd at that time. The area where The Ritz is now was called Toad Hole. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
