harvey19 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 My Grandmother was Mrs Ford,She lived next door to Elsie and Joe Hobson Elsie was Mr and Mrs Simonites daughter. For a while we lived next door to Elsie and Joe over the wall on the other side. I remember everyone who lived in the big yard.Barrie Hobson.barbara Hobson,Mr and Mrs Simmonite,Mrs Dixon,The Hayes Family and Jeffrey Simmonite when he came to visit his relations. There is a thread somewhere on the forum about all the families getting together for The Festival Of Britain and decorating thei houses even though were under threat of being demolished. If you take a look at the (one-up one-down) thread number 14.there is a newspaper article about the families and what they did for the Festival Of Britain. Are you sure the thread is entitled one-up one-down as it is not coming up when I search the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try "Back to back " as the search parameters, harvey:- I think that's the title you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Nellie, which big yard have you photos of ? Any chance of you posting them on SF or getting a copy of them. My cousins May and Jack lived in the same court as the Havenhands. May has tried to reply to you but SF won't let her post replies for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosy nellie Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hello Harvey The big yard where Havenhands lived was further down the lane from the big yard where my Gran lived so the photos would not help you,and they are mainly photos of the family small black and white so you cannot see much of the surrounding area.
