:P:P:P:rolleyes::rolleyes:Hello Linda, this is Andrew Burdett Bill,s little brother. I remember you well as a lovely girl when you were with Bill. Both my mum and dad have very sadly passed away now and Bill is living in a flat on Cotleigh Crescent. You can find him in the Sportsman any lunchtime. My sister Julie lives in Killamarsh with her husband Dennis and I now live in a village called Great Coates just outside of Grimsby with my wife we have been married 9 years now. It would be lovely to hear from you Linda. Hope you are well. Sadly we also lost Jo my neice 3 years ago to a brain haemorraghe. It would be really nice to hear from you and where you,re at in your life.

Hi Andrew, this is Ira Jackson, I used to live opposite you on Cotleigh Avenue and Bill and I used to hang about together. I now live in Sutton Coldfield,and, strangely, someone gave me Bills tel. no. very recently. I've been meaning to phone him but I travel a lot and havent got around to it. Give him my regards next time you speak to him and I will phone him with a view to meeting up some time in the near future.

Andrew Burdett-hello.

 

We played together a lot as kids. You might say we were Good mates. Good to hear that you are well. I live in Sheffield with the family. My folks have gone now. I remember your mum very well.She was always kind and friendly.

look after yourself.

I was brought up in Hackenthorpe in the 1970s. I attended Birley Spa infants and Juniors and lived on Springwater Drive. My mum( Mrs Joyce Gray)was well known around the area, being a keen churchgoer at the Methodist church on Spa View Road.She worked as a CCA at the Hackenthorpe Village School and seemed to know everybody.

Hackenthorpe was a wonderful place to grow up. Me and my mates played football on the field on Spa View and golf on the catholic school fields. We used to arrange epic football matches against lads from Carter Lodge which went on for hours.

 

I remember Mr Garlick and Mr Millett's shops and the Ealams newsagents down on Birley Spa Lane. A lovely man called Mr Cooper worked there.Does anyone remember life in the 1970s? in Hacky?
