Recommended Posts

Hi George, Can you remember a Pauline Goodwin that live in

bottom yard in Moss St opposite where you lived near butchers.

The first yard behind Co' Op and i think she lived at top house. Brian.

 

Hi Brian, I didn't live on Moss Street, Sandra my wife lived there, I asked her about Pauline Goodwin, she doesn't know the name, but she will ask her sister Susan when she sees her.

George.

i had too use the side genel too get to the toilets in the yard.

Hope your well. Brian.

Well we had further to walk than you Bri,we had to use the toilets in the yard.Apparently many moons ago our house,the shop and your house was a pub.Never knew if it was right or not.Can you recall Mrs Beaver next door to you her back door came into the yard but her front door was on Moss st.But your right we only had one door.

Mr Taffinder always wore a flat cap. I don't know how true it is, but my mother told us he never took it of, and the first time Blondie knew he was bald was on their wedding night

Hi Sheila, Mrs Beaver,s name rings a bell but i hardly new her,

i'am not sure if she had 3 steps to go down into the yard from her

back door. Your story was intresting about the pub, for me too get

too my gas meter i had lots of steps too enter the celler then i had

to go through another celler that took me right under the hair dressers.

Could have been a pub with the size of the celler, just think all that

booze down there. Gulp Gulp. :banana:
