Lowedges- in the 50s, 60s and 70s


Recommended Posts

i think there is a bloke called gus that still lives on lowedges.he still drinks in the magpie.think he is in his late 40s early 50s.i used to live on toppham road so my dad was a regular at the magpie.wasnt until the middle 70s tho that we moved up to the estate.i know the fletchers used to run the the pub.cant remember if it was late 70s or early 80s tho

Gus was and is a ******, I know his ex wife and I know his son (who is nothing like his dad), does anyone remember Mick Faxon he was a regular in the 70/80's big drinker (but tetotal now I hear) and Grahame and doreen and Brenda (micks wife at the time)

Jauntyone....

Nah...admit I haven't seen D O'B (or any of 'em for that matter) since the day I left school in '67/8....

Other classmates at the time were Max Clarke, Ian Bott, John Coupe, Paul Gregory, Martin Havenhand, Ian Corker, Ray Ashcroft, the Fox twins...I'm sure others'll come to me....oh...Max Brook has just occured to me...others to follow....

 

Ian Corker here. I have been in contact with Trevor Casswell. Does any one know what happened to Chris Barrett?

 

If you look on friends reunited there are some former classmates there. I am thinking about documenting what happened to us all. I know that Martin Havenhand became a Chief Executive with Yorkshire Forward, Peter Cowen is a golf pro in Rotherham and Dubai.

 

I really doubt that most of us could have done as well if we had been born 30 years later. Look at UpMyStreet for Lowedges

 

It is really depressing.

 

Best wishes

Morning Ian...

Think Chris went back down south to pursue a career in art/design...

It's all a long time ago though, so who knows what he eventually got up to (or where!).

I know one of our classmates (for the life of me I can't remember his name) was featured in The Star many years ago, 'cos he'd become a top chef and was the big boy at some reallly posh 5* hotel in Hong Kong.

The Fox twins I mentioned? A senior moment! Actually the Fowlers, Peter and John....

Saw Max Brook in Uncle Sam's on Ecclesall Road many years ago, but nobody else for 20 years plus...

Didn't know about Martin....so one of us made something of themselves, then!

Hi Just come across this site and saw my name mentioned - I lived on Toppham Way when you could see the Peak District from our living room window before the estate became as large as it is now. Remmber loads of guys and girls mentioned but would love to know where my old mate Phil Pywell (might be spelt wrong) or Kieth Grant are now.
