Was there a chirpy on the opposite side of the road I thought the Hodson was opposite the bottom of moss st and the coop store

Butlers chippy if my memory serves me right but will stand corrected as not 100%sure 🤔Think the pub your on about was the Wellington? 

They were  Butlers on Botham St but the chippy up there was run by a Len Enzer I believe.

Would that be the row of houses leading up to the allotments, then on up towards Wincobank Hill ?

If I remember correctly it was Jimmy Childs who demolished the Grand Hotel in 1973 along with the famous Buccaneer pub.

I visited the yard to buy timber for our house which I was renovating at the time.

The Hodson pub was at the corner of Draper Street and Carlisle Road.

          Yes they did, I worked there as a delivery lad 1961-62 at Gowers & Burgons-Lyons Street/Petre Street in Pitsmoor.

 

    I've just found this on the Gower & Burgon site. 

    Guess what , I did that there for two years and left in August / 60. Did you still have a van for the Friday deliveries. I used to have about twenty five orders and made more in tips that night than I got for the full week. The divers name was Len I think.

They had a delivery van on Thursdays and Fridays, one of the drivers was called Ronnie. We used to make deliveries to Grimesthorpe too, Margate Drive. Hunsley Street and Botham Street if I recall.

One drop off was to a family called Richards at Margate St & Grimesthorpe Rd,  that was always a interesting event

Yes, I recall that family (very pretty daughter), once when making a delivery I knocked on the door and after hearing 'Come in' I entered and the mother was in the tin bath tub which made me freeze still for a few seconds, 'The money's on the table' uttered the unperturbed lady.
