7 From Stannington

[jack watson 10]

in the mid/late sixties when attending king edwards glossop rd,I used to use number 7 bus to town from near high rise flats.

Always on that bus was a lovely looking girl on her way to work at,guessing, the mount,broomhill.

She was older than me but we always said hello and smiled a lot at each other.

i was a bit shy though !

She was from top end of stannington,unlike me from the estate....

I never got her name(possibly ann),but i often think of her even now.

I wonder how her life panned out.

Any clues ?

I'm a lovely looking  girl from the top end of Stannington (real Stannington) who regularly used the number 7 bus but I'm not called Ann and I would have been around 5 years old in the mid sixties.

I hope you find your girl.

haha, thanks for the lovely reply! Damn, and I thought liberty hill was real Stannington....never mind..

That bus doesn’t run now does it ? I’m from the lower end of Stannington, Liberty Hill, so we are classed as not proper Stanningtoneers !

No, i don,t think it is the 7.I lived there from being 14 until leaving in 1969 at 18. 

Block of maisonettes across from turnbull.In fact i remember the pub being built.

I,m not bothered about being a stanningtoneer as my heart is in hillsborough.

Thank you Raquel.Sorry Pattricia...

Hello graham.I,m now registered as jackwat.

First time I've seen your comment.

Yes,of course I remember you on that 7 bus.

My mate tony short on there too.

The girl I was asking about was really nice.Still she might be totally different now.

My brother Alan was talking to your Howard a few weeks ago.

God,where has all that time gone Graham??

 

Cheers. Jack.
