mike-s Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Did Gordon Winnel go to Bents Green School as well?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grave lurker Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hi, I did remember Margaret Broadbent, she lived further down the road to me but I do not know what became of her. There was another family that lived sort of opposite the Broadbents my friends Roy Kinlock & his Brother Neville. A long shot but they may be a possible lead. Good luck. ---------- Post added 12-07-2013 at 18:35 ---------- Hi, yes Gordon did go to Bents Green School (when he went) he just did not like school. He was a friend of mind he lived a few doors from me on my side of the road. He was in the same class as I at All Saints C off E School just over Peter Street. We then went to Burngreave School For Boys then we both left after barley a year there.Gordon went to Bents Green & I went to Whitley Woods School.

Yes thought he did, I remember him being rather quiet and timid, probably because as you say he did'nt much care for school!. Any idea what he went on to do in life?

geocol Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I am looking for an old mate who lived at 57 Thorndon Rd his name is Jack Worrall any one know him and his where abouts If it's the same Jack who had a younger brother Roy, I believe he settled in the Blackpool area (after marrying a girl in that area). (Not sure address would have been 57 , but further along towards Lyons Street) Good luck with trying to track him down. The family moved onto flats on Andover Street after Thorndon Road was demolished. Roy married a girl from Rotherham (and I'm told has died), but they had a son who will be approaching 35 now.

stpetre Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Hi Pitsmorian, Give me your surname, if you want pm me, yeah Alan was the youngest one a bit too young to be knocking about with us 'bigguns', did you get what I said about Angela used to live at 49, so you would not have known her. Thanks for keeping in touch Ciao, Ian The Brearley's, all the kid's were boys were; David (eldest). Peter, Alan, Stephen, and John. Their father was killed from falling debris in the gale of 1962. They lived on Lyons St. between Edgar Street and Thorndon Road. (Some of that I may have got right!) Edited March 28, 2015 by stpetre ex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
