macstewart   10 #1 Posted February 17, 2013 Can anyone remember people from Clay St the odd side( numbers I mean) as I can remember there were Pauline and Winnie Grain a few faces I can't recall names also until the cobblers shop on the corner of Brompton Rd. Further down was Joe Emmens Garage the Chapel a few houses then on the corner of Ebury St, Bertha Adams Family grocers shop and a bit further down ,I think it was the Evans shop on the corner of Swallow St. Further down again lived a young girl who had callipers on one leg and then the Houlston followed by the Higgins, Unwins and finally the Woodhouses. On the Even side once again faces I recall but no names but just before Brompton Rd the Standrings mainly Norma and a family of Salvation Armyists which again I can't rcall. On the other side of Brompton Rd I think it was the Swann Family with I think Ernest and Robert and then lower was the Coe famiy,Tony Holmes the Meynell Family and Mick Midlane. After Swallow St the Fishes the Cartrights the Dorans the Haighs the Stewart and then the shop on the corner of Liverpool St the O'Connors and then down at the end the Stewarts and the Stocks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

She had banged her leg at home & when he saw her hobbling suspected a fracture, treat it at his house & said she would have no further trouble from it (and she didn't). Oh to have those times back when folk looked out for each other & were so neighbourly ...... also Alwyn who had a son David? Gawd that's got the old grey matter going .......
