i lived in hackenthorpe in the late 50s and early 60s i it was on carr forge road dont know the number

my best friend was ronnie best he was very big for his age we went to rainbow forge infant school together.

my favorite memory is of getting a cake from the shop on my mothers bill and shared it with the girl next door we ate it under the bin shed so nobody would see us

and their was a woman we thought at the time was a witch we called her the mad cat woman arnt kids cruel?

my name is steve savage anybody who remembers me from then i would love to here from you my mother and father was ted and bettie

The mad cat woman was Mrs Varty, you can imagine what we used to call her. I knew Ronnie Best, went to a party with him in the mid 70s, he drank a whole bottle of Whisky and passed out in the toilet, nobody could use it for the rest of the night cos he was wedging the door shut.

If we are talking of the same Ernest Bingham who was married to Jenny and had 2 boys Jeff and Richard and a girl Pam, they used to live at 19 Dyke Vale Road then moved in the 80's to Drake house Lane.

If it is the same person he was my Uncle.

I was friends with your brother Barry. Later we both went to Thornbridge. He had a long standing girlfriend I seem to remember who lived near The Golden Plover. (Linda somebody)

Barry and I met once in the 70's - by coincidence. He called at our house in Walkley. Was he a salesman or something?

Empty bottles to Hogshead pub for deposit back, quick look in bike shop window, penny's worth of YZ (the one with the owl on) gum from machine on post office wall, then watch Farmer Spencer (who owned the green Ford Thames van bring his cows in ... before heading off down the fields (which were reputedly haunted) behind the village school for a spot of spider hunting.

 

PC 'Walt' Disney would remind us we "should be home by now" if he ran into us with his purple and white push bike.

 

Where did 1958 go????

 

I'm going to cry now.
