I Was Born 2 Woodthorpe Close Manor Estate In 1935. Went To Standhouse School

& Prince Edward School. Use To Fish In The Pond On Queenmary Rd & Play On The Allottments . Use To Go Over The Cematary Wall & Over The Wall To The Manor Castle. Just Great Happy Days On The Manor.

When I Visit The Uk I Always Visit The Manor. The Last Time I Came I Saw All The Houses Pulled Down . But It Will Not Stop Me Visiting The Manor When I Come To The Uk In May Of This Year.

Vera Hopkinson, nee Pope, is wanting to hear from people who knew her and to nudge their memory she remembers having a cat with wings when young.

All came to see this cat from far and wide so she is wondering if anyone remebers this event which was writen up in the Star over 60 years ago.

We thought this may bring her to mind.

Vera' Mom was a dinner lady at Pipworth Rd School (Mrs Pope ) along with Mrs Craven and Mrs Hampshire who's son was in Vera's class at school.

Mrs Hampshire lived across the Rd from Grace Bonsall.

 

Related to Neill and Darren? Neill had a Jack Daw called 'jack'?

 

It used to fly down and land on our shoulders all the time. What a great pet to have.

Does anyone remeber the iron door set in the bank-side as you left the end of Waltheof Road in the Thirties?. We used to kid ourselves that this was a secret tunnel to Manor castle!!!!!!.

he lived at number 96, it was the part between archdale road and fairfax road.he must have left school in 1942 as he was born 1928.he moved off in 1953 when he got married and moved to beighton.

Thanks Summer 1955.That would be near Manor Hotel Wouldnt it? I lived 100 yards from the pub.on the junction of Wulfric and Fitzhubert,near the wartime static water tank. I believe its now called Fretson Green and is an area with seats in it. I was born in 1928 and left school in 1942 and moved off the manor in 1955 to get married,so my history has to be very closely connected with Arthurs. The name Sykes stands out in my memory, can you give more names to think about please. Cheers,John[/i]
