skippy Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 my name is Lilian Lockwood, That name rings a bell, I remember June Riley from the Crescent also. Another name just came to mind, the Haddington's, they lived opposite the entrance to the Meadows, at the bottom of the hill on Longley Ave West, seem to think Beryl married a deaf and dumb bloke in her late teens. The King sisters sound very familiar, but can't remember which house they lived in, just around the bend on Boynton perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibsy Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Hi eastbank. I went to Shirecliffe too, or Herries as it became and would have been there at the same time as you.Give us a hint who you are ? Remember those names well. Christopher Bartholamew and Wesley Haywood were both very blonde haired lads as I remember. I went through junior school with them and John Gallagher too. The last I heard of Wes Haywood he was an ambulance man I think . I have a class photo taken in 1972 as we were bout to leave Herries if you'd like to see it let me know . Chris is my Uncle. Sorry to hear about Fred Thompson,we were in the same classes at Longley and Shirecliffe schools.Also sad to read about the recent death of Winston Bartholamew who went to Shirecliffe as well,R.I.P. Winston was my dad. Edited December 2, 2011 by dibsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads death was a hell of a shock as it was so sudden, miss him so much, him and my mum moved into a bungalow just 4 months earlier which was something he'd been wanting to do for a long time, mum was due to retire on the following saturday as he died on the tuesday. Charlie died a few years ago. Just my uncle John (who is still on Longley Avenue), Eric and Chris left now of the Bartholomew brothers. Hope you recovered from that...lol, my nan was lovely. I remember my dad telling me about the chickens and the way they used to strangle their necks to kill them, i remember him also telling me about a time when he cut off one of the chickens heads and then the chicken got up and started running about. I've got a lot of old photos that I've put on facebook of the lot of them and there's a lot of Chris when he was a lad if you're a member on there.
