earlybird8 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I remember Pauline Williamson off Cotleigh Rd, she had a brother called Roland. I was also younger than her, so didn't get a look in! The only other females I can recall were Maggie Bishop and Mary Wyer, but I think Pauline was most likely to be the best time trialler. Oh, there was also Betty Sergeant, who Les Poole used to fancy.

Bassman62 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Pewitt Café near Owler Bar According to local gossip it was bought by the owners of the newly built stone house. The story goes that it was deliberately set on fire so that they could then replace it with a modern building, but there are always tales like that going around.

If you lived opposite Pauline, you may have known Dick Mottishead. He was a tyrefitter at Kennings. I worked with him for a while whilst serving my apprenticeship, great guy! I lived on Springwater Drive, Tom Porter is the name. Used to be in Howard's bike shop quite a lot and was good pals with Keith Booth who worked there. I think I might know you?

earlybird8 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hi OAP 1942 I'm sure I must have known you way back then. I used to deliver 'The Star' in that area for many years, and I'm wracking my brain to think of names. I seem to recall a family called Bakers, who could have lived at 14 or 18. And a guy with a motorbike and sidecar (Storey?) at 22 or 24 (bit of a perv, I think). Dave Mottishead was the son of Dick, the guy I worked with. They did live at no. 6. Please, what's your name?
