LindaL Â Â 10 #289 Posted August 31, 2009 I was talking to Bill Burdett in the Blue Bell this week and he says he would love to hear from you. He lives at 26 Cotleigh Avenue and his phone number is 248 6014. Â Just found this post. Bill Burdett and I were an item back in the 60's. I often wonder what happened to him and his family, Mum, Dad, Julie and Andrew. Perhaps if you see him again you could tell him. My name was Skinner then.

Downsunder   10 #291 Posted September 1, 2009 I went to the village school in the 50s, then moved to St John Fisher's. Remember well the post office and it's YZ chewing gum machine, Spencer's farm (he delivered our milk in his green Fordson van).  Do you remember the story going round about the fields behind the school being haunted by fighting soldiers?  Lived on Birley Spa Lane - no. 232 - then.  Lived at 236 Birley Spa Lane in the 60's. Pages lived at 232 then. Staffords at 234. My mate Mick Darwent live at number 230, I think his parents still live there. I went to the village school as well, then Rainbow Forge then Thornbridge. Small world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Downsunder   10 #295 Posted September 9, 2009 Johnny Stafford lived next door to us in the mid-to-late 50's on Birley Spa Lane. I remember the family's black Truimph Mayflower car parked up in the front garden/drive. I was 4-10 years old when I lived there. The Derwents live at the other side. Michael was my best mate.   The Rat !!! Mick Darwent told me I was his best mate. We went everywhere together, went to Skeggy on my motorbike and sidecar, went camping at Foxhouse, played football and cricket on Carter Lodge playing fields. We lived on the other side of the Staffords from about 1955 until about 1967. I won't say who I think you are but did you have a sister called Heather? If not, you must have cleared out before we arrived. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
