I remember the Broomheads on Fowler St, Eric, and his two sisters. Would the Spencers have a son called Les? And the Halls, Ernest, Dennis and Frank. Do you remember Jack Best? All on Fowler. And little Hayward Road, Gouldings, Dereck, George, Tommy and little Arthur. Denis Swift, Denis Bullivant, Denis Wade. On Woodside Lane itself, the Taylors, Martins, Parkers, Revels. Trying to remember the names of the Broomhead sisters, one was called Minnie but I can't remember the other.

What about Birley Street, seems to be the forgotten thouroughfare, remember Mrs Johnson, massive woman.

 

Les Spencer was my younger brother sadly he passed away 1991 aged 37

Its interesting when old Pitsmoor-ians come on here.

Now I was born on Fowler Street and lived on Grove Street at number 5.

I was born in 1959 so remember very little if nothing about the area but someone told me that the Pitsmoor road of today is where Fowler Street was.

I know Pye Bank Rd used to be Pitsmoor Rd.

Perhaps you can tell me more about the area as it was.

I have a photo of a corner shop on Grove Street and a few old ones but very little to go on.

We moved out in 1961 and moved to Woodseats before moving back to the newly built Andover Drive in 1963.

 

My grandmother owned a shop on the corner of grove street and fowler street

I was born on Woodside Lane in 1953, and we left in 1958 during the slum clearance and went to Sheffield lane top. We moved to Foremark Rd and are the Hawnt family. I made friends with the Rowberry's , mainly Alan and barry but remember the other 3 lads Johnny, Peter and Christopher. Any of you guys reading this or anyone who knew us please get in touch .
