Hi Peter, I was down Grimesthorpe few weeks ago, i was stood near

the end of Adsetts St watching kids on bikes riding on that pathway.

I also took a short break just to get my breath back from the road leading

from Reform Chaple upto the old club.

Had a good look at Grimesthorpe Club and thinking the good nights

i've had in there with my family and friends, even some of the

committee staff were great.

I remember Cyril Seaman - Oscar Wild -Bill Hanwell - Reg Allen -

Billy Hawkins - Paddy - forgot his secone name.

 

I went to school with Bill Hanwells and his brother Jacks kids

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your kind words.

This photo of my brother Alan and me on the right was taken on Saltburn pier 13th August 1957. A stiff breeze from the right of pic by the look of my trousers

 

My wife and I now live in an appartment in the Victorian building which was originally the Alexandra Hotel. It's the block at an angle, between my brother and me.

The cliff lift you mention is just about to make it's way down and can be seen just to the right of our block, if you look hard.

 

Peter.

I thought at first reading that the 'Alexandra Hotel' mentioned, was the one at Carlisle Street East and Scott Street (which is Grimesthorpe) however to paraphrase Elton John,... 'but then again no !'

Hi stpetre,

 

If I had a time machine I would probably go back half a century and stay a few days at the Alexandra Hotel on Carlisle Street East. I could wander around Firth Browns every day

...Did you know....that Alexandra was Queen Victoria's first name?..

Not quite - it was actually Alexandrina.
