Stuzo Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Hello Cornish Rose I read in the Pyebank thread that you tragically lost a little brother aged 8. Was that in a motorcycle and sidecar accident. I can remember a little boy dying in the accident and know that he lived near Langleys fruit shop. I can remember as a little boy everyone in the neighbourhood being shocked and made very sad by it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember as a little boy everyone in the neighbourhood being shocked and made very sad by it Hello Stuzo. Yes, you are right. We were going on holiday to relatives in Newcastle, I was in the back of the sidecar, Tony was in the front. He fell out, whilst we were travelling, at a place called Pity Me, Durham. He had severe head injuries. I remember it well. We lived in the yard behind Langley's shop. I still have letters etc sent by Pye Bank school teachers at the time, and the news cuttings. My son is named after Him. Fancy you remembering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmorle Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Remember Don Morley from Bramber St.Also the Wellbornes,Whittackers,Marshalls,Whites all lived at the Bull Rocks end of Brunswick Rd.Can anyone remember a little old lady that lived in the second or third house up on the right from the Bull Rocks.She always wore black clothes as if she was in mourning.Little lace up boots and a little hat even in the house.We would call every time we went to the chip shop & she would always ask us to bring her a fish.Her name was Mrs. Cooper. ,,,,,,,,,,, Edited January 22, 2011 by madmorle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
