Yes, I recall that family (very pretty daughter), once when making a delivery I knocked on the door and after hearing 'Come in' I entered and the mother was in the tin bath tub which made me freeze still for a few seconds, 'The money's on the table' uttered the unperturbed lady.

You as well! My driver offered to drop them off next time. Many times I had to go back the next day to get the money , once her  husband shouted upstairs that "Burgons was here". The reply was tell him to F--- --f. 

The daughter was a nice girl, lived close by with her Grandma I believe.

Margate Drive?

I think it was Margate STREET (the old houses) that ran from Grimesthorpe Road to Cyclops Street.

Mid 60's

 

The mother was getting off (between the two corner shops on Ludlow St, top of Moss St) where the clock was as I was getting on to go towards town. She was in a state of undress with eyes that could no see.         Not a pretty sight before bedtime

Where was Ludlow Street ? Wasn't Hunsley Street at the top of Moss Street?

Apparently Ludlow St was Hunsley St but they extended petre St and Ludlow St was no Longer needed so I read in an earlier post by skippy who was one of the £10 poms that emigrated.. Not heard anything from. Him/her in ages 🤔

Ludlow  St ran from top of Moss street from Hunsley St all the way to Botham St here the clock was on a corner street light post. This was there because this was the terminus for the #34 bus that had to turn down Hunsley St a bit, then reverse up past Moss street to return to town.

 

Note huts in background on Petre St

Foreground was Ludlow St

Is it where the Target corner shop was? Memory not so good these days 🤔

Sorry ,I don't know that name, but the there was a shop on the corner where the gas lamp is (Botham St) and another on the corner of" Ludlow St" and Hunsley St. Between these was a covered bus stop  The shop down Hunsley St at Ruthin St was Sutcliffe's in the 60's.

I used to go to school with a girl who's family ran the shop behind where the people are stood-late 1950s early 60s- her name was Pat Hemingway.
