Hiya. I don't remember your grandparents but both my brothers and me remember your parents very well and your dad's sister too who, we think, lived on Swan Street. I would have been 10 when you moved from Whitworth Lane but my oldest brother Keith is around your dad's age - 73. Brilliant days in Attercliffe.

Hi Jacqui

yes my Aunt Doreen lived on Swan street. Both her and my dad are still alive, my mum died in Jan 2010. I mentioned your family to my dad and he remembers you all. He doesn't do internet tho but he's like most people from the 'cliffe, says he loved it and misses it and wishes it could be like it was.

I haven't spoken to anyone yet who doesn't miss the old Attercliffe. Trying to get the kids to understand how we lived in such cramped conditions yet, because we knew no better, loved it all, is another story!! I speak to a few of my old friends and neighbours from Whitworth Lane and Swan Street on Facebook and we have some right old natters about life down there. We didn't actually leave there until 1971 and were possibly the last ones to go on Whitworth Lane. Just going back to the Internet - I have both brothers on my back to do this on the net or that but do they let me show them how to do it? ..... Forget it-they're both a nightmare. Keith seems to think that if you talk to a laptop, it will do the job for you ...... amazing but funny.

Yay - Saturdays at the Pav. Sometimes we were lucky enough to sneak in through the back doors on Swan Street!! I too went to Carbrook County then onto the dreaded Coleridge Road. I used to know someone from Rotherham Street - Marilyn Christ. She went to Carbrook too.
