TWhits   11 #541 Posted January 4, 2018 Yes, usual suspects - Mr Jarman, Mr Dore, Mrs Reynolds, Mr Forester, Mrs Smith and a Reception teacher ? Mrs Schofield. Are you still in Walkley?  Sounds like Mr Forester, Mr Dore, and Mrs Schofield (although that last name seems familiar from somewhere) had left by the time I started. We alternated Mrs Davison, Mrs Smith for much of our time there!  No longer in Walkley, I am afraid. I left in 1978 and rarely get back there these days. It does seem to have changed a lot. Many happy memories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

stevenm   10 #552 Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) My family have lived at 45 Freedom Road for many years. I moved up at the ripe old age of 6 months in 1950. When my parents had both died, I and my sister rented out the house for a while. I later returned to the house after developing the rear. There was a grocers/beer off called Taylor's further down on the left. Further down there at the corner was a greengrocers called Chapman's. The lady wore a beret and I think her husband was a bus inspector. I think Austin's moved in afterward and then Walker's. Opposite the greengrocer's was a sweet shop run by Mrs Lewis. This was taken over by the Ashmore's (Pat ran a hairdresser's there). Pat's husband I think was called John and wore overalls, they had a son called Robert who was lots younger than us. My friend Stephen Elson and his older sister Linda used to live at number 1 in the same block. Next door to him on the corner with Walkley Road was Dorit's, the beer-off which was called the Royal Oak where there was a small very crowded snug. Needham's took over the business and their Daughter Jean used to go to my school (Marlcliffe and Chances)  Going up the Road were the Woodcock's, Burgess's, Burgin's (property repairer) Crookes (daughters Marjory, Susan and son Roger), Davenports (daughter Jean), Hargreaves (daughter Valerie), , Harrap's (Katherine and Jean, son John), Richard's (son Philip), Peel's (caretakers at the church), Grayson's, Womersley's (son Peter), Mrs Watson. Bryan Thompson (a keen motorcyclist) and his wife, Mrs Settle, George and Joan Torres (niece Sheila), Marples (us), Miss Haslam and Mrs Beaumont (two sisters), Brookfield's, Vanniches, (son Nick), Wadsleys (nephew John), Unwin's (daughter Janet) Sykes's (Rita and Wendy and Moira roundabout my age lived at three houses). Across the road was Nanny Hargreaves, Cave's (daughters Sandra and Pamela, Reeds (son Brian). Frogatts (son Peter), Elliotts (son Brian), Dawson (son Terry and daughter Linda), Tye's ( son Michael and he had a sister) (Mrs Gough) , Coopers (son Stephen my first friend), Bletchers (son Raymond) Chambers (daughter Susan), Sanderson's (daughter Janet who became a teacher  Mrs Thornton at Westward school), Crookes (son John). There must be more. I worked in the voluntary Walkley Action Group which stood up to the Council in their plans to pull down the whole area. Dad was Secretary for our Road.   Edited June 14, 2019 by stevenm Corrections Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
