[Caz1 10]

Lived on the manor at 128 (if i remember correctly)Alison Cresent late sixties early seventies, went to Pipworth Road School. Great times, had my fisrt real drink in the feathers prince of Wales road and my first game of electronic tennis in the Stradbroke.

Hi, i lived at 112 alison Crescent late sixties early seventies. Next door was a family called Harrison and next to that Blackmore. I wonder if i know you.

The thing i remember about the Manor years ago is that their seemed to be a class divide' date='the upper Manor looked down on the lower Manor,which is strange as no one had much where ever they lived.[/quote']

Yes i agree Grumps, some friends of mine moved to Manor Park and they thought they'd gone up in the world. Mind you the houses were more modern and theirs even had a shower which was virtually unknown on the Lower Manor.

Was Selwoods not the name of the garage opposite the springwood !!! or am I getting mixed up - I remember a Janet Selwood

 

This is really bugging me now !! the garage was owned by a family with a daughter my age, her dad died very suddenly, think whilst we were at Woodthorpe Junior school so pre72 and they sold up and moved away, fairly sure it began with an S was it Stones ?

Hi

My dad used to be good friends with the guy who owned the garage across from the Springwood. I am sure they called him Danny. The Selwood does sound familiar though. My dad used to talk about him often. Around 1966 Danny saved my life apparently when i was 4 years old and got knocked up into the air by a car while running across the road. My dad says Danny tried to catch me and because he ended up breaking my fall it saved me. Apparently he broke a finger for his trouble. From what i can recall they were a lovely family.

Possibly we lived next door to a family called the Dungworths on one side, can't remember the family the other side but I think it was a guy who lived with his mum and had a great garden. I had 2 sisters and a brother. My mate was Arthur Ledger who lived over the back garden.

Hi, i know the Dungworths, they were over the crescent and down the other side of the road. I don't remember anyone else down there except an old lady maybe called Carr? She was very nice and was always saying nice things to us about how pretty we all were (5 sisters) thinking about it she might have been called thompson..memorys are quite faded.
