Crabowil Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Hi Nick, Sure, I remember you I've been gone for 52 years and never been back but am going to England on Aug 4. Can't wait to get to Stannington and see who I can find. Do you know what happened to the girls? I'm not on Face book. Really don't have the time for it. ---------- Post added 19-07-2018 at 22:21 ---------- Can't send you a PM until I have 5 msgs posted. ---------- Post added 20-07-2018 at 11:15 ---------- Is the rec. still at the bottom of the Rise? And the Post Office just a bit further on than the primary school? What number bus runs up there now? It used to be No.7. and used to go from behind the cathedral(?) in town, can't remember the name of that street. I suppose it's all changed now, but want to be able to catch a bus up there when I come over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin441 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I used to know a girl called Judith Rose who lived in Stannington in the 60's . Does anyone know her ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unwind Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I remember Judith Rose. I think she lived in the cottages just below the old Hare and Hounds. She was a year below me at school, more my sisters age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin441 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 That's right she did . do you know what happened to her ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unwind Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Sorry I can't help there. I left the village in 1970 when I married. Lived in Oughtibridge for ten years then came to Canada. I don't have any relatives living in Stannington now so have really lost touch. I last visited in 2014 and it had really changed a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabowil Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Anyone remember Shirley Wright? She lived on a farm right at the end of the village in the 60s, then she married a man called John and they lived in a lovely renovated cottage up from the Hare & Hounds. Lost touch after I came to Australia, and she was my very best friend, would love to know if she's still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabowil Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Thanks for that. That's right, she married John Gilman, wonder where she is now. I will try to get on Facebook, but as I'm still working and looking after grandchildren I don't have time to sit and try to work it all out. And with coming over there in less than 2 weeks, time is a bit on the short side. Looking forward to seeing the old places again. Hope the weather stays nice! ---------- Post added 24-07-2018 at 07:21 ---------- Trams are back, but how do you get up the hill to Stannington? Is the Hare & Hounds still there? And I remember the Lomas Hall, we used to go to dances there on a Friday night. It was a great meeting place. Also remember Rev. Stebbings my Dad used to tell me that when the Rev. went to town, he would call at all the pubs on the way home and never have to buy a drink, and he only had one drink in every pub. Don't know if it's true or not but that's what I was told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daven Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 My Mum and Dad were married by Rev Stebbings back in 1954 If he was 'over the limit' when he married them does that mean that their marriage was not legal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
