Southey owl   10 #1789 Posted July 31, 2017 Hi Peter,  In response to your post 1761, the photo you sent below . . .  . . . http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh629/peterlaurence/Margarets%20Albums%20097_zpslxguz6y0.jpg  showing yourself with your pretty young 2nd wife, well i think there's a remarkable coincidence with the following video . . .   The Human League . . . ' Don't you want me baby '.  Your photo showing it was taken in darkness with your car and you and your wife both dressed in overcoats the ' mode of dress ' of the 60's and . . . . . . 'The Human League ' lead singers Phil Oakey and Joanne Catherall dressed similarly both in overcoats both with a car in attendance . I think there' a striking resemblance between the two photos / video . Be interesting what your own thoughts are Peter of the two photos and video.☺  Mick .

The Rover in the '80s video is some 30 years younger than my car. How time flies eh?  Incidentally, all the photos on my last few posts were of my dear late first wife.  Peter.

geotom   10 #1791 Posted August 7, 2017 Hi Southey owl, The video of the Human League just reminded me, Joanne Catherall is a Grimesthorpe Lass. I used to work with her father Les' at British Rail at Darnall, and they lived at the bottom of Crown Hill, then when the houses were being cleared for demolition they moved to Hackenthorpe.

fleetwood   10 #1797 Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) Just been told that Bob Pickering passed away this morning,RIP Bob. Was Bob Pickering one of the large family that lived at the top of Botham St on the left looking down? If so there were about 10 children, probably even numbers boys and girls. The only other name that comes to mind is Roland. fleetwood Edited August 16, 2017 by fleetwood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

SaintsAll   10 #1800 Posted August 21, 2017 Can't help with photos but did you live on Edgar Street ?  Hi St Petre, I lived at no. 17 Edgar Street from 1955 until it was demolished. My friends and neighbours were The Barkers, Sharps, Leggit, Kaczmarczyk, Cryers, Smiths, Trevor Barlow and The Braeley brothers on Lyons Street, I think you must have lived on Petre Street. We lived directly below The Dagenarts who lived on Petre Street. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
