i colin morton can remember you and your family can you remember me glenn johnson and my brother dave we lived above you at number 10 bloor st .the last house on the top

I lived at 31 Bloor St, up to around 1957, when my mum passed away and we moved to Boston Lincolnshire, then returned a few years later to live with my grandmother at number 61. I was great mates with David and Brian Mottram.

I can also remember Harry Clegg, I think his name was, who was a complete nutter, and always mimmicking a cat in pain.

The bakers name was Bilton, who are still trading I believe. The son was Philip.

I have often wondered why Bloor street was demolished and the other streets survived. Maybe the bombs made the houses unstable. Anyone know the answer to this

I think Bloor st was demolished so that the council could build the new estate there. I left Bloor st just before it was demolished. We lived 5 doors above where the bomb dropped and basicaly the house was structually sound.

 

At this moment, Brenda Marper, and the daughter of Genine Marper from Bloor st are visiting my wife.

Hi Dennis, I lived at 10, Bloor Street and remember all the names you mention. Went to Burgoyne Road School, Eric Goodison, Philip Bilton and Brian Mottram were in my class.

I too wonder why Bloor Street was demolished, went to visit recently trying to stand on the spot where we lived, do you remember the Scott's Lolly Pop shop as it was known, Jack and Kitty ran it and their son was John? I live in Buckinghamshire now, left Sheffield in 1968
