Kidorry   189 #4 Posted June 23, 2017 Was Ken Sheldon a Grimesthorpe lad ? I think he was, because his brother Sam lived next door to me and he was from Grimesthorpe. I think Ken also ran the pub on Derbyshire lane after that and one on the Kelvin before that. If it is the same man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I think Ken also ran the pub on Derbyshire lane after that and one on the Kelvin before that. If it is the same man.  The reason I asked, 'Mr.K' is that in the Ellesmere Youth Club. (Buckenham Street ) Some of us met a lad in 1961 who said he was from the Botham Street area, when asked his name. he said it was 'Sam' (which it wasn't) and I think he would have been around fifteen at the time, He was a thick set lad as a youth and tho' quiet and polite, nobody messed with him.
