Did anyone on live on the Manor in the Seventies?

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 ?

 

Bit late with this but yes, it was Stones. I knew Danny very well, I was manager of the Springwood at the time of his sudden death. His wife was called Audrey and I seem to think they had two daughters but can't remember their names.

Hi cleegirl

I was telling my mum about your post and she says it was your grandmother that delivered Derek in our house,so I think they must have been very good friends.

My Grandparents lived at 121 Wulfric Road just on the opposite side of the roundabout to the Manor Hotel. They lived there from at least the 50s until the houses were demolished. They were called Arthur and Molly Barrow and had kids called Stella, Jean, Jackie (my Mom) and Martin. I spent the majority of my weekends there in the 70s and 80s.

I was born on the Manor in the 70's.. 76 to be precise..

I lived on Woodthorpe Close until 89 then moved over the other side of Prince onto Fitzhubert until 92...

 

Talking of the post office on Fairleigh, I remember once me and my mum went up, and it was VERY windy that day.. It was blowing me and my mum all over the place..

Well this gust of wind caught hold of my mum and blew her into the post box just outside:hihi: She clung onto it for dear life.. She must have been there for about 5 minutes before she got the strength to pull away..

Extremely funny.. I still remind her of it to this day..

She'd throttle me if she knew I was telling you this.. :hihi:
