[STEVE H 10]

Hi David, nice to hear from you, yes a lot of water, hope you are well.

Ref, David, I think both he and Frank started as steel erectors, mind you a lot of the lads round there went in the building trade.

Hello, I am new to this site, but not so new to Grimesthorpe! I was born in Sharp Street off Carlisle Road in 1958. The Crown pub was at the bottom of our street, Douggie Nadins barbers shop was on the opposite corner. I remember the Gambles family that lived in the yard up from us, Bill, the Dad, Elsie the Mum, Marion, Jeanette and another daughter that was younger than us, I dont recall her name. I remember Bradburys Brick Yard whose enterance ( big green double doors) was at the side of the Who Can Tell pub. Does anyone remember any of my family, including my Grandad, Ted Sellars, who went in every pub in Grimesthorpe, including the Grimesthorpe Club, Idsworth Road Club 1950's to1970's Also anybody remember Downings grocers shop on Carlisle Road, opposite the Alexandra Pub, great sweet shop, he also swapped P.G.Tips cards with us!
