Grimesthorpe Part 3

[stpetre 12]

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

 

Yes I lived down by the Post Office, the Dagenarts (Colin ?) lived near the bus stop.

Hi St Petre, A couple of years ago I posted some photos of the area on photobucket. Here is the link if it still works.

Hi all - My Dads local was the 'Who Can Tell'. The Ooker took part in a games league which my Dad belonged, playing darts, crib and dominoes, they would go to play in other surrounding pubs and likewise those pubs would send their players back to play, just like home and away. The Hensmans were the Landlord and Landlady, I think his name might have been Henry and hers was Ginny, I believe they might have had relatives at the top of Botham St also. The 'Who Can Tell' had a ladies night on Tuesdays where Black Pudding and new cakes were served in the best room, with Ginny playing hostess, I recall this room having accsess on the small road that backed on to the Brickyard. fleetwood

Hi Sheila,

 

I would like to see the pic in colour. I had never been through those gates when I moved from Adsetts Street to Shiregreen Flower Estate in 1958 when I was 14. We had a garden hut there painted dark green. Whenever I see something that colour and shade it's ''garden 'ut green'' to me.

 

Here's my Mother in her garden with the said hut in c1959. Needed to be in colour, but couldn't afford colour photos in those days. .... Then click on the pic for a bigger one....

PS have reposted the pic as didn't work originally.

 

Peter.

I used to live just above the Hooker and can remember playing by the Brickyard gates . As i remember there used to be a small doorway cut in the gates and can remember going thru it and seeing large blocks , but then i would only be small.
