nosy nellie Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I remember someone called White did not know him well quite a bit older than me but I remember he was always doing swaps comics. I think he was something to do with the fruit shop could be wrong memory not what it used to be,but I can always remember more about times living down Watery Lane and Hammond street than I can remember what I did last week:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cityguy474 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Although I wasn't born or raised in Upperthorpe, I did have connections there. My grandparents owned the sweet shop in Addy St opposite the cinema in the early 50's. My great grandmother lived in a big old house in Shipton Street. It had several cellars which made an ideal shelter during the war. The family name is Needham. As a child visiting the area, by tram in those days, I remember walking up Albert Terrace Rd., past the Upperthorpe Tabernacle. I also recall a lady named Vera Boot, who was great at wallpapering. I think they lived in Addy Street too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
