Old Manor Estate Residents

[Fletchp 10]

The Addy family lived on Alison Crescent about 2 doors down from corner of Ravencarr rd I think.

I bumped in Tony Addy last summer after about 30 years and in the Turf and had a right old catchup. Happy days

'moen's'.....a few doors up there were the Lewins & can't really rem much else ...I was around 8...I do rem my very good friend marie medley (who has sadly passed)....The Manor was such a fun place 2 grow up, money was scarce but we all knew how 2 have a good time regardless lol! (I do rem that name 'fletcher'...i've seen posts on here)

LOL I remember troggy pushing his cart along and getting uncle george to fix the tv's that he found.. Mum is ok by the way she had herfirst operation yesterday. x

 

anybody who lived on the manor must have seen troggy and his cart, he was and still is a legend . i lived on fairfax road,just below the tennis courts,as a nipper until i married in the early seventies and in between playing on "ten town" and the tip until i could get in the snooker dive (under the manor pictures) or the manor hotel,i accrued some great memories of that smashing estate and made some great friends over those years ....happy days.
