chris52 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I lived on Normanton Street from 1942 until I married in 1963. My parents were Tom and Mary Davison and I had a sister Helen, and a brother Ian, who has since died. Helen is now in Australia and I moved to Nottingham after I married. My maiden name was Ann Davison. Anyone remember the Liversidge twins, Olga Rushforth, Graham Eshelby - all lived on Normanton Street - and playing on Smiths Fields we lived at 194 grimesthorp road I used to walk up Normanton street to go to burngreave school in the late 60s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brooklynex Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hi There do you know ponsonby?

Happy days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hi brooklynex - here's a scan from the 1954 Kelly's Directory that might help you reminisce! The 1968 directory shows that "F. Wordsworth, boot repairer" had taken over from David C. Morris at No 109, and "B. Callis" had the chippy two doors away.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Regarding boot and shoe repairers or 'cobblers'. Does anyone remember the cobbler who had a shop on Pitsmoor Rd, or more probably,The Bank opposite the old gardens. The shop was more or less opposite the Loco Club and was still there in the mid-fifties. Anyone remember his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
