capricorn_11 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 A mate of mine Mick Ratley use to live in the next pub down on Arthur St at the Whitby. in the late 50's /60's I remember Mick Ratley, he was a nephew of a mate of mine, Arnold Ratley, who now lives in Oxford. Mick's mom & dad were Ted & Joan. Ted sadly died quite a few years ago, Joan now lives in Coventry I think. I do not come from that area but during the War our house suffered bomb damage at Pitsmoor and we lived on Ashberry Rd at an aunt's and I attended Crookesmoor School for a short time. I have fond memories of the area especially sledgeing down Bannon Street in winter. The chip shop on Ashberry Rd and Thew's little shop next door.

docmel Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 How about just round the corner from Ashberry the newsagents Whiteheads and the little ice cream factory in the yard behind that only opened occasionally. Also the Albino West indian guy that lived at the top of Oxford street Whiteheads newsagents - he gave me my first job -delivering Sunday papers to the flats on Martin Street. Come Guy Fawkes night he would sell the usual 'selection boxes' but then he would have a large wooden tray where the kids could pick 1d bangers, catherine wheels etc. - not sure whether that would be allowed now!!
