I went to Sharrow Lane in 54, and remember I as a great school, much better than the grammar school I went to after, so many great memories of Franklin Street and the school, we now live in Australia but we get back every now and then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

John Crossland 0 #115 Posted February 13, 2020 We were moved to Franklin Street after they had been designated for demolition. I believe the council used those places to house poor families who could not afford normal council rents after they were emptied for demolition. Anyone remember a Connie Crossland?

JanC 0 #117 Posted May 10, 2020 Hi can anyone help me in a search for relatives? Frank Jinks lived at no 2 (or possibly no 1) from around 1918....I believe his wife had originally had the surname Nell Not long after moving there (with 4 little girls) (where did they go?) his wife died. I understand that Frank married again in 1920, and they had a daughter in 1921. The wife and daughter were still there in 1940 but Frank may have died. The daughter (Kathleen) married a Mr Darlow in 1939. Can any shed any light? Would be much appreciated. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Anyone remember a Connie Crossland and the Crossland tribe? we were at 13/2 which was on the same side as Horace's barber shop on the corner, not sure how the numbers worked but you were either next door next yard or across the street, though I don't recall the name Crossland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
