I lost contact with all the family after my father died and only got back in contact with them fairly recently. We keep in touch via email now. I had another cousin who lived on Newhall Rd, Charlie Simmonite. Don't know if anyone remembers him. He lives in York now.

 

Charlie Simmonite lived in Swallow Street and went to Maltby Street School and also worked at Sanderson Bros & Newbould in the Bandsaw Dept.

Hi, I have been trying to remember names, I think I remember your family also the Moorwoods/Mooresand?. I now remember the lady's name was Ivy Shaw, a huge women with a pinny, hairnet and a stern outlook. I do remember Derek, but I thought he ran the corner shop opposite us.

I believe the Gibby family were Farley, wife?? and Silvia (she went to London to have a career in " The Theatre ") I also remember the Warner family, my Gran went to Bingo with the mother, I knew Jane. I remember mass trips to the Pictures on Saturday mornings and best of all, the WMC trips to the seaside. Enough pop and crisps to make you sick for a week. Fish and chips in the street. Fantastic. The adults that were "in charge" often drunk before arriving and topping up all day. Kids now cannot understand how good it was, let loose in a strange place full of new things and money (10 bob) to spend. If you were lucky you got trips with numerous clubs to Skeggy, Mablethorpe, Cleethorpes, and very rarely Blackpool. With the old joke of looking sicker than a Skegness donkey on a Blackpool beach !!!.

Great memories.
