bothamlad   11 #5 Posted December 8, 2018 Had some really good memories of Wensley street prefabs back in the late 60s. There was a bunch of us from grimesthorpe school,we used to head up there in the evenings ,meet up with a couple of lasses who used to live there,Lynn and her mate.What a friendly area that used to be. How times change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Broakham   10 #7 Posted December 18, 2018 I used to deliver papers in the early/mid 60s for Revills at Firth Park. The Wensley Estate was on one of their rounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Most of Revills rounds were on the Brushes estate so I also did The Oval, Horninglow, Stubbin etc. The Page Hall round, (Firth Park Rd, Firth Park Ave, Hinde House Lane, Wensley estate and then down to Page Hall terraces) was a bit of an oddity, but was probably because Revills lived down there. It was a long drag but we got 2d to catch the bus back. I can't actually remember crossing paths with any other paperboys, but I used to bump into a papergirl whose round came down Windmill and onto Hinde House. We used to pop into the allotments to errrr... get to know each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

blackhill   10 #12 Posted December 30, 2018 hi Bothamlad. Unbelievable. My Grannie and Grandad lived in that house. They moved to Botham Street from Deerlands Ave in the early 50s. I and my cousin, who used to live in Wensley Street prefabs, used to visit them all the time. My Grannie passed in 1958. My Grandad passed in 1961. There was a couple who used to lodge there. The house has long gone now, just waste land last time I saw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
