Next to the baths going up the cliff towards Banners was The Greyhound pub. Opposite side of the road was The Globe ' pictures ' adjacent to the clinic.

Hello all "Cliffe Folk",

 

Found this forum three nights ago and have literally spent 36 hours rivetted, trawling through the wonderful posts on it. I have cried with laughter and at times "choked up" with the wonderful memories that came flooding back after nearly forty years. Good old "Raymond Hall's!" Our neighbour Mrs. Brookes on Westbury street used to say to my mum, " If tha' feels a bit badly lass, don't mess about wi' Dr. Wainwright, get thesen' to Raymond Halls & tha'll be "double reight" in two minutes!"

 

I lived at 46 Westbury Street, 1960's -1970; My mates were Sharon & Paul Rippon, Paul Rawson and Roy Cusworth to name but a few. We attended Woodburn Hill School (Unable to recall any teachers) I do remember something about Dixon, Willis, Winyard, and Warner?? Ring any bell with anyone or have I lost it?

 

My husband cannot understand the passion about the "Cliffe," - mind you he's partial to a bit of Henderson's Relish ( A southern Lad!) You've got to be a Cliffe kid to understand it.

 

Everything came flooding back to me ..........Ohhhhhh the Bridge Chippy! Can taste them now. (Cake, chips and scraps.) Also, Banners, Edward Jennings, Hitchins especially the "Rads" all evoke such wonderful memories. How I loved watching the "Rad's Turns" Can you remember those little snacks, which contained a Dairylea triangle/ biscuits / pickled onion in a bag?? Choked up when I saw the name "Biggsy" - however that's stories for another time.

 

What was the name of the Barber on Staniforth road, just below the Rads? I am sure that I recall him having a seat on a wheel which he used to pedal round a little track whilst cutting Gents' hair.

 

BROOKSY - (the boozer maestro!) My late grandfather (George Stuart - coal merchant) used to use a pub down the Cliffe called " The Baltic" any ideas.......? Also are the Fletchers who you knew, Josie / Robert / Sandra (Cannot remember the other brother and sisters names) They lived on the next street down from Westbury street towards Woodburn rd.

 

Their Dad had a couple of old coaches that they used to park on that piece of wasteland where Flo's corner shop was. Remember the "Penny sweet tray;" Black Jacks, Fruit Salads, White Mice and Red laces. There was an Irish family that lived next door to them. The parents were Katie and Owen (pronounced "Own" as I recall); with son Owen Jnr. and daughter Marie. Ring any bells?

 

Well that'll do for now, Cliffelass

That's the name! Do you remember anything about his bike? This could only have been another unique "Cliffe" eccentricity.
