Phil_T   10 #2053 Posted September 11, 2020 Hello Moss Street, I lived on Moss Street from 1952 till the mid 60s. Our address was Hunsley Street, but our only outside door was on Moss Street along with the coal shute and the one downstairs window. I can remember the garages and pigeon coits, never tried to climb up them, but recall the rats and my pals of the time using them for shooting practice of an evening. Never liked eating the pigeons, too many little bones, but we were rather poor and it was good protein so never refused if offered. I have been looking through some old stuff recently and the link below is the photo from a negative. A lady with a small dog, I think it’s the bottom of Moss Street at junction with Carlisle Street. I would be nice to put a name to the lady, if you or anyone else on the forum remember her. I have some more negatives that I hope to scan and share if this link works. Cheers, Phil https://flic.kr/p/2jFnKGT  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Covid has meant I have not visited since last September but am still in touch with a number of Grimesthorpians. So sad to see all the problems at Fir Vale & feel so sorry for the friends I have who live in that area & have to put up with such behaviour. I will have to come soon as we are nearly out of Hendersons Relish. I have to keep both us & our 2 children & adult grandaughter supplied with it so bring back 12 bottles each visit !! I really hope my old church Reform Chapel opens up again after Covid as so many of us had such great times there in BB , Sunday School etc & it did such great work in the community. There are only a small number of attenders though now many of whom travel quite a distance to get there. Best wishes to all my Grimesthorpian friends ! I remember Peter and Celia Garrett used to belong to Reform Chapel.......possibly after The Methodist chpel closed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Peter & Celia still attend Reform Chapel. Spoke to Peter a few weeks ago - Chapel is closed because of Covid though. Only about 12 attend in recent times & most of those inc Peter & Celia, Jean & Bernard Oldman & Gordon & Janet Kay live some distance away . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I remember at one time playing with one of the young ones who lived there, I think one went to Jordanthorpe after passing the eleven plus. I remember setting up a dartboard on the top of those steps on Moss Street, and my belated apologies if it was you, but that dart that stuck in the back of the hand was I assure you not intentional !. Somebody's mum was not very pleased. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
geotom   10 #2058 Posted October 6, 2020 The picture of the young lady with the dog, I seem to think that the photo is the wrong way round. At the bottom of Moss St was Fred Alison, the butchers. The reason I think it's the wrong way round, is that the shop in the picture looks like the old Chemist shop, on the corner of Grimesthorpe Rd, opposite the school, after Dennis Collins took it over.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Have just held a miirror to the photo and immediately realised that the Victoria Hotel would be just out of sight on the corner of Grimesthorpe Road, before the shops. There was only one zebra crossing on Carlisle Road. which confirms the location to me as I lived only yards away on Adsetts Street below and opposite the rear of the Vic. from birth in 1943 to 1958. Edited October 7, 2020 by PeterR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
