I used to live at Number 41 Hands Road. We moved in 1977,but my parents lived there from 1964. We had to move due to the old cottages were pulled down. I think theres a couple of Semi Houses built on the site. Can anyone remember the cottages? There was I think 7 small houses 2 up 2 down. One large one on the end. We was posh,we had a bath in the kitchen.

Yes I remember the cottages. The Myers family lived there, and the big one on the end was Cardwells. Wow i'd forgot about them. There was a family next door to Myers as well but I can't remember their surname.(Colliers?). Yes that's it. David Collier used to live there and al the girls fancied him like mad. Myers family consisted of Kieron, Martin, Mark(?)...can't remember rest.

They're fine thanks.

 

I love Commonside and still get a special feeling whenever I'm there. I still go in the Hallamshire now and again for a pint.

 

Hope you are well

 

Do you ever hear from Pamela or Margaret ?
