dunreet Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I was born in Cottingham Street. Number 54, I think. The house got blasted by a land mine or bomb during the blitz. We escaped to the cellar of a neighbour's house - they were called Gleadall, I think. I have a cutting from the letter page of the Star sent by Roy V. Johnson of Stradbroke Road. Cravens target for luftwaffe. The bomb hit Ribston road just 200 yards from Cravens on Sunday 15th.December. His house and several others were destroyed in the raid. They were rescued by Tommy Powell a very brave man who got them out via the cellar grate urging them to hurry as there was a UBX in the middle of the road. I´m proud to say Tommy Powell was my uncle who lived near. I have met a man here in Spain called Cleve and he told me he was rescued as baby from the cellar of a house on Clair Road. He has a sister called Janet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Talker Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I know I'm not going daft either. Carbrook rec was never on Bright Street. Ever since there was a Carbrook rec, it was always at the top of Terry Street, on the far side of Carbrook school, about a hundred yards from my Grandpa's house. It was Carbrook Rec when my mum, her brother and her sisters played on it, in the 1940s and 50s, and it was Carbrook Rec when me, my sister and my cousin played on it in the 1960s and 70s. The council turned it into "Don Valley Bowl" when they did the arena etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
