Correct about Cynthia bullerboy - She was the eldest daughter of Eileen Grayson, (maiden name), who lived near the top of Park Street on the right hand side.  Cynthia, was Cynthia Hartley and did some part time modelling for Cole Brothers

 

The younger daughter was Roma Skelton - no idea how come the different surname other than her mothers divorce/marriage - Roma will be around 80/81 now if she is still alive. She worked in the office at Dobsons the tv rental firm around 1964

 

Eileen Grayson worked for Norman ??? who had the post office on Park Hill, before it moved to opposite the old Pavillion Cinema

 

She rode all  around the area on one of the old heavy post office cycles with a big rack on the front for the mail and parcels

When exchanging messages with Lyndsey yesterday I was trying to remember the name of a comedy actor who I always though looked like your Uncle Stan

 

However, 5-15am this morning whilst sat having my breakfast at a local Indian Restaurant the name came to me - the comedy actors

name was Arthur Haynes. He had the Arthur Haynes Show on tv in the early 60's, his suffering wife was played by comedy actress Patricia Hayes and the stooge providing the comments which Arthur (comedy sketch name Oscar) would respond to being sometimes Julian Orchard and sometimes Nicholas Parsons  

 

You can find the sketches on You Tube if you just search for Arthur Haynes

 

When he dressed as a middle aged guy in his raincoat and cap he always reminded me of your Uncle Stan

 

Re your mother Freda, I did think it was a butchers shop she delivered for and that is probably how my mother would know her from.

 

Not sure who Fred the Butcher was though - I only remember Harrisons Butchers run by Mrs Harrison and a guy by the name of Hoyle - their son Norman was older than myself. Strange lad then and time has proved that - he married Cynthia Hartley whose mother rode around Swallownest delivering mail for the Post Office located then near the crossroads. Cynthia committed suicide in, II think the late 60's, - used the car exhaust fumes via a tube into the car - did it on a country lane off the road which runs from Todwick Crossroads to Dinnington. Don't know if you are aware that Norman bred the Old English Sheep Dogs used in the original Dulux paint adverts 

 

There was a smaller butchers shop further down High Street but I never went in there - was that Freds Bucthers ?

 

Didn't know Roy and June moved to South Africa, wonder why they chose there unless it was due to family connections. Often wondered where the name DOMOV originated from . Somewhere on this web site there is a mention of the name and its origins.

 

Looks like the "Grim Reaper" has collected a few of the people, I am somewhat surprised that John Farrington is no longer with us , he was only a little bit older than myself - quite a nice guy I remember. Michelle would be the older one I seem to remember

 

Nice to hear from you and Lyndsey and to know what its like on Park Drive, long time since I lived there - has the road been laid yet, or is it still just as it was when I lived there

 

What about Memories - has the company now gone, I know Stan and his wife moved to a new home about 1966 when they sold their house to Eric and Juliette Dobson and also that they had no children. Unless Stan's brother had children to leave the business to 

 

But of course "Life Goes On and On …"
