Redfyre Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Anyone know if old Albert Butcher is still around? He lived on Nether Terrace, and before he retired used to work at Brightside Engineering after previously being at Newton Chambers. Not seen him knocking about for a long time.

phgoodwin Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 It must have been something bad he barred you for! Trevor was a good bloke very reasonable too. I had differences with him but he was fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapa Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 mh01 Your post brought back to me an amazing memory. I was in the pub yard near the church and there was a load of people there. I was with my grandpop, John Gilpin he was called, we were singing Christmas carols. He was singing the low notes in harmony and I was little, probably about 7-8. It was really nice and there was a band playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
