RJRB Â Â 677 #303 Posted August 10, 2010 Just read most of the threads,and some of the names took me back to the Sunday football on the Bolehills.All day games with ever changing sides. I remember some of the names,but have certainly forgot many more,but for starters Phil Adams,Pete Lonsdale, Phil and Steve Scothorne,the Harris twins,John Morley? and his dog Bruce ,Ron ? from Greenhow St, the Godbeheres and the Pickerings,Knocker-never did know his proper name,Tony Hughes,Mick Farley,Dennis ?, Benny. Many more -any offers? I suppose this wa mainly in the sixties or early seventies.

keeleyg   10 #305 Posted August 28, 2010 This couple named Greatbatch lived on Toyne Street, Crookes until 1951. I believe they were related to Sydney Greatbatch and Ruby Greatbatch who people have kindly mentioned on here. Having been in touch with a distant Greatbatch, I seem to think that Ruby is still with us. If my memory is correct they lived next door to a family named Cammack?  Duffems  Hi Ruby Greatbatch is still with us , as is her brother trevor . Sadly Phillip and Margeret have passed away . Sydney was thier dad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
