Page Hall Shops - History

[bantycock]

I remember this shop well as I lived at 4 Idsworth road which was the first house.If I remember correctly the guy who owned it was called Stan and they had a son who used to knock about with us playing football in the working mens club carpark.

 

John Cave can you remember Gary Berry aka Yankee and Winston Robinson they were from that area ?

The place has gone down the pan...! Do you mean Page Hall in general? I have to ask 'cos I havn't been there for years, even decades...

 

I was back there about 6 yrs ago and I could have cried as the place has become like a shanty town.Most of the shops are now foreign owned.Not a place I would want to go back and live.Still I have my memories.Page Hall will always be with me.

Hi Bantycock

Yes they were good old days.What is your name?I now live in Essex which is where my work took me nice place right by the sea.Garry & Keith live in Ontario,Canada and I still visit them.Struggling to remember names from way back but do remember Winston and a girl called Lesley Lawton (I think) who lived on Idsworth Road.

It's Gary I was the one who kept the pigeons just off little bolsover Garry should remember me lol I was always with lloyde siddall from the fruit shop !

I was around there 1978/82.

The garage on Little Bolsover was run by Mr Taylor, his son Mick and daugher. Next to that was the photographers then Silhouette - the sauna -it burnt down taking the photographers with it.

I still have an ironing board I bought in Popes opposite launderette! I remember one of their sons opening the 'new' shop corner of Little Bolsover and FP Rd. I got a quilt in there.

At the launderette were 2 older ladies - one was Evelyn and she lived in Popple St. Maybe no 77.

 

Does anyone remember the small convenience store between the bike shop and Little Bolsover? It was run by a guy who had 2 very elderly sisters working there an I think they lived over the shop.

One of them told me a really strange tail that on opposite corner of L Bolsover/FP Rd lived a lady who was the sister of Christie the London murderer. Apparently her husband had topped himself in one of the buildings on Little Bolsover (she owned the buildings). Could you make that up? Anyone heard that story?

 

I remember a charity collection box on the counter of that shop was for The Society for Distressed Gentle -folk - I kid you not.

Last time I went back was in 1988/89 it was looking a bit sad then but recent pics are grim. Saw a bit featuring PH on TV last night - one those benefits programmes.

I went to school and was best mates with Julie Lawton who lived on Idsworth Road. She had an older sister but can't remember her name. Julie's Dad was a Postman who sadly died when we were in junior school

When the old lady died lots of paperwork relating to Christie was found in her house on Hinde house lane think it was her brother a Scottish family rented the house on the corner their name was miller I was friends with them
