Can't remember the name but it was a farm. Nigel will know. Did Paul Marsden live at the corner house of Tunwell Ave and Tunwell Drive? I remember him being in the choir at Monteney around 1950/51. He was the star having a lovely boy soprano voice. I see an old neighbour of yours, Joan Leaming. She is married to David Speight who Iris may remember from EGS.

denlin Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I went to school with a lad called Phillip, think his surname was Helliwell, and I'm sure he lived on a farm. This was in Ecco Juniors 1958-1962 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keniris Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Hi, wow Joan Leeming, the teenage flame of my mate Mick Naylor. Yes Paul Marsden had a good voice. He went to the Grand Hotel as a chef after school. The wooden building opposite St Mary's Church was that a community centre. Its gone now, we had our wedding rec. there in 1961' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
