His name is Kim but when he got older he changed it to Dave because he didn't like kim.

Hi There

My Grandma and Grandad lived opposite the Club in the 50's. Their names were Walt & Maud Green.When I used to visit them there was a gap between the houses where a bomb had landed in the 2nd World War.

My main memory of them was my grandmother going down to the pub on the corner each night and fetching my Grandad a jug of ale, in which he plunged a red hot poker !

Tina and Kim Parkin i remember,Kim was a big lad.

I think it was the Bottomleys, Remember Sandra and Shirley lived a little up Clun road from us. Across the street were two different Elliots. The Deakins next to the Rodgersons(forgot about them) Johnny and Paul Reynolds

further up.I seem to remember their mother was a bit of a good time girl!

I recall having a big Tupperware party in their yard.

Mollydog i don't remember you on our road.

The Binghams took the Club for a while.Mrs Green lived at the side of the garages.Old man Bradley(father of Sherwin) had one of these garages as a stockroom for his shop on Grimesthorpe rd.We could climb on top and force the top of the door ajar and swipe a bottle of pop or two!

A sad memory i have is one lad at the top of the road Anthony (green?)was a bit slow and his mother tried slashing her wrists.

Vague recollection of a girl called Andrea (Foster?) lived next to the Deakins.

 

I'm actually enjoying this!

My grandparents, my mum andher sisters used to live at number 91 clun road.

The surnames were whitty and marshall

 

 

 

My family lived at 93 and later 97 Clun Road. They knew the WHITTYs,

one of two of them are on a photo of my sister's first birthday party

held in the yard in 1946.

 

Other families in the same yard, Gascoigne, Wragg, Bennett, Oldham,

Spooner, landlord Mr Skelton & later Mr & Mrs Fisher, who also ran the

"top shop".

 

The insurance man, Mr. White, known as "Chalky White" used to

collect the insurance premiums every Friday night.

 

Other families we remember from Clun Road, Bentley, Ritson, Edgley,

Whitbread, & the men's tailor whose name I can't remember, he later

had his tailor's shop at the top end of Elm Lane. My Uncle still has one

of his hand stitched suits made for him in the 1950s which still fits him !

 

Mr Ritson was something of a local celebrity, I think he was a magician, but he was well known in the neighbourhood for having an extensive train set up

in his house. I never did see it, but it was admired by many. Mrs Ritson used to have a Dalmation dog which took her for a walk several times a day

 

Those 3 story terraced "Artisans" houses were demolished in the mid 1970s,

and Clun Road no longer exists, well "little Clun Road" does at the bottom

and runs between Grimesthorpe Road & Ellesmere Rd. Clun Road used to run between Grimesthorpe Road at the bottom and Catherine Road at the top.

It was a cobblestone road and VERY steep.
