Chimay, what was the name of your grandparents?

 

I remember the gennels too...........I broke my right arm when I was about 4 by jumping out of someone's gateway and slap bang into the opposite wall. I also split my head open by running down one full pelt and craching into the bit that stuck out. I remember going to Raymond Hall's chemist with a tea towel wrapped round my head before I was taken to the Royal.

Hi Karensun, my grandparents were the Cookes. Does the name ring any bells? My Nan died in 1965 and some time after that my grandad moved right down the common to live near my uncle and his wife.

My mum often sits and talks about the old times when we lived on Cottingham Street. She always says what good neighbours we had. She's 89 now but still remembers everybody.

Yes it it good to see some of the old names on the site and it does

bring back some good memories, when I talk to my daughter about the

rec she does not know what I am on about

Can you remember the park keepers we used to have on the rec

I can remember the little one I think they called him frank but we were

all scared of him. A few have mentioned smiths what lived in the first jennel

I can remember the brothers I was always scared of them.

 

I think they used to frighten everyone
