STEVE H Â Â 10 #1129 Posted February 17, 2007 Hi geotom again Ref Mr Lowe, my teachers were, Mrs Allan, and Mr Francis do you remember them. Was there a teacher at Grimesthorpe when you were there called Mr Blackmen, could hit you witha blackboard rubber at the back of the class without turning round from the board. His classroom was the 1st one in the huts at the top of the steps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

geotom   10 #1132 Posted February 18, 2007 Hi steve, I remember the other teachers but not Mr Blackmen. Do you remember that old rover car that Mr Francis had I think it was either the 110 or 90, I always and still do think they looked great. If you were to see Brian Gill now he ir the image of his father. I had forgot about Dave Baxter, he was a fantastic drummer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
geotom   10 #1133 Posted February 18, 2007 Hi gritman, Thanks for the info', it was your dad that got them their first booking at Grimesthorpe Club was't it. When I come up Wincobank Lane, I find it hard to believe all the houses/cottages that used to be there, where the Crawley's lived, and where the kids playground is that Steve' lived there, the only building remaining is the two houses on Corby Rd.

janie-m   10 #1134 Posted February 18, 2007 Just thought I'd add a little bit and say hello to a few people now I've finally caught up with what everyone has to say. I've been trying to catch up for a while but my study comes first and time flies when you start looking on here, it's so addictive!  I'll start with the hello's to Aunty gemini2 & Uncle geotom, remind me to never follow you two doing a crossword, the spellings!!  Hi to lolalola, we know each other from brownies and guides, we used to have some laughs there, thinking about it I must have enjoyed being told off cos I don't think a night went by without being told off for something.  Hi to kj venom or rusty as we know you, I couldn't believe it when I saw your name, we've had so many conversations about what happened to you.  It's been brilliant reading and thinking about some of the names seen. Although I was amazed to see that my engagement to shaun had made it on too. I'll have to get the in-laws to look at this cos they will love it and I know they are still in contact with some of the names mentioned.  Well I'll have to leave it there for now cos I've been summoned by him in doors for the taxi run to the pub, take care speak soon x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

STEVE H Â Â 10 #1137 Posted February 18, 2007 Hi geotom Where the playground is was roughly the kitchen in our house, do you remember the two white cottages just at the back of us, one was the Leggett family the other the Lofts, they were knocked down before ours. Another family i think, 4 doors down from the Crawlys was the Broxholmes, two brothers Roy and Stuart. The two houses on Corby were a mess the last time i passed through a few month ago. I think Stan Francis had a Rover 90, built like a tank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I tried to look back for the post about your engagement but can't find that either. I'll understand though if you don't want to give your real name out. You're right about brownies and guides though, getting into trouble was a regular thing. Bye for now xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
