I have just found your post, being new to the forum, Bryan, 3 years later. I do remember all of that. Also sledging down Grasmere Road when it snowed. My Gran lived on the corner of Rydal and Grasmere. Think I know who you might be.

Hi Pipsmum,

Depends how far down Rydal you lived. I didn`t know many passed the little grocery shop halfway down. My gran lived opposite Taylors grocery( think that was the name) on Grasmere corner.

Hi Pipsmum,

Second one to you for today. Found other posts and both my husband and I came up with: Fred Wragg. Joe worked with him at the Parks dept. That was around 56-57.

I remember a Judith Wragg from school. Possibly King Ecbert Girls High. Don`t remember much more than that, sorry.

To add to the Rydal Rd. query I didn`t live there but spent a lot of time at my grandmothers house.
