Frayava   10 #97 Posted August 26, 2010 My wife lived on Clement Street: one of a family of four girls and a boy. Her dad worked at Brown Bayleys as a Chief Electrician - Arthur Smith. She went to Coleridge Road Schoool then reluctantly to Hinde House. She used to knock about with a group of three other girls and by a remarkable coincidence met up with one of them on a Cruise Ship. They hadn't met for twenty years then found themselves stood next to each other on the party to celebrate the last day of the cruise.

TC_Lad   10 #99 Posted September 1, 2010 Hi I am Alan Fishers cousin. He lives at Brinsworth now. I saw him last Saturday at his son Daniels 21st birthday. Hi Frayava. I knew an Alan Fisher back in the 60s at Turners Court School in Oxfordshire he came from Sheffield. I am wondering if your Alan is the same chap? If he is would you ask him to contact me, Both I and a mutual friend, Alan Birch would love to hear from him! Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Meg312010@ Â Â 10 #101 Posted September 3, 2010 Hi Joan1, no one seems to remember the Central and we all had sucha good time bopping to the live groups. Screaming Lord Such, Dean Marshall and his deputies, a guy called Jonnie White would sing and many others. They were great times if it was open until twelve you were safe to walk home, unlike today. I recently met up with an old friend and we had a laugh talking about the fun we had. We never bothered about the pubs , although our boyfriends at the time did. I lived near Alfred Rd and married a lad from the same area, let me know which end of Newhall Rd you lived, we just might no one another. Keep in touch LG.............. Â Did you go to Maltby street school Joan! I went to that school from 1945 to 1953 my name was Margret baker, I think you were a year younger than me, Im 72 now:):) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I went to that school from 1945 to 1953 my name was Margret baker, I think you were a year younger than me, Im 72 now:):)  Yes I did Margaret and can vauguely remember the name. Did you go to the mission on Clay St? Someone said the other day though, that in those days, anyone a year or two above us were real grownups and wouldn't want to know us younger ones...... I left in 57 so you would have been leaving as I went into the seniors I would think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
