i guess you know jill and neville clarke,,they lived on the corner of holgate rd/ave,, you may also know walter clarke,, he was in a wheelchair, he was known as cripple walt,, he went in colley club but now lives in the old peoples home on holgate

 

Most people who live on the cross or lived on the cross know of Walt. He used to live on Knutton Rd. I was brought up on the cross moved around a bit and came back to the cross. My mum still lives on Rokeby drive and my nanand grandad have lived on Holgate Ave and has done so since the houses were built. My other nan and grandad used to live on Deerlands Ave just before the Adlington roundabout. some of the names of families bring back memories. I went to Monteney infants, Juniors and then Colley. There used to be a blind man that used to stand on the bottom corner of Rokeby Road he was scary at first to all the kids but an ok bloke once you got to know him. We used to race our trolleys down Rokeby Road to see who could go the fastest then crash into the kerb on the corner. I remember the Fletchers van that is still running today and Alfs that is still going. We used to also knock about on the fields of Margetson that are now the flats. I also know Bob Wright he was a very big friend of my dads.

I used to work with Mary Dexter, she was glass washer at colley Club, her daughter married Paul Cosgrove(Cozzy).

Did he ever offer to cut all your hair off? From what I remember he used ask everybody the same thing!

 

He still has the shop on there and still gives every man and child the same cut lol. He is still slow and still has the same greasy long hair he had then.
