Hi pincherpat, I'm originally from Bland St. born 1949, have an older brother born 1939, don't know if these are anywhere near your age but if you go on "anyone from Grimesthorpe" thread there are quite a few of us on there.

My Gdad & Gma lived in bottom house Bland st. Over the wall was big drop. Hi Tom, knew them well, big John was called Bonzo, sadly he' s the only one left, can't for the life of me remember your g'dads and g'ma's name, perhaps my brother will remember, as we lived opposite them.
