Hello there.

Yes, you have the right Glyn Taylor. I remember him as he was the same age as me and went to the same schools and his younger brother Rodney, was the same age as my younger brother.

They lived on Fawcett Street (the hollow) in the last house on the right before Mushroom Lane. I remember going with him to throw stink bombs into the bookies a few doors below their house. Thinking about the men running out holding their noses still makes me smile. My name is Dave Garton and my younger brother is Alan.

I will throw some names into the pot. Stephen Midwood. Phil Holberry. Stephen Food. Paul Gross. Charlie Billard. Brian Deighton. Stephen Kent. John Unwin. All of these should bring back some fond memories to your father and his brother. Let me know if i can help you in any way. Good luck with your treat.

Hi Kiri

 

I will add a few names to Spada's list but for your Dad's brother Rodney. I was the same age as Spada's younger brother, Alan, and your Uncle Rodney. We were all in the same class at Crookesmoor and used to hang around together.

 

Names I can remember:- John Taylor. Andrew Winkley, Tim Metcalfe, Raymond Pridmore, Ian Unwin (John Unwins younger brother) . Later we went to Myers Grove and thats when the vicars twon daughters started joining the group - Brenda and Lucy Bryan - I think your Uncle went out with one of them.

 

oops - sorry I am Mark Melluish - lived in the corner shop just below Crookesmoor School

 

I hope this helps - tell your Uncle I have some old class photos from Crookesmoor with him and all our mates
