Hetty Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I didn't grow up there, but well remember the shoe repairer, Mr Dunwell, he was deaf. Frank Bland had a corner shop, he used to deliver to my Grans! He sold wonderful Danish butter that he used to just cut a lump off, it was fabulous!!

Hi Hetty, My father was Frank Bland I remember his shop very well, up until the time he had to sell it because of ill health. He passed away last yearhe was 88. I used to deliver groceries with him, must have gone to your gran,s. What was her name? Remember Mr Dunwell, he used to repair our shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetty Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Gran lived on Struan Road. I remember your dad well, I used to call him Uncle Frank!!! Gran died in 1983, just short of her 90 birthday. We had a special relationship, first grand child born to her first born, my father. She died whilst living with me and my late husband. I miss her. Sorry to hear of your dads death, I know it comes to us all, but it doesn't make it any easier does it? In fact Gran outlived two husbands a son and daughter in law!!!

My Dad always went to the pie and pea shop youre right they were good dad and mom also used to get tripe and onions from there. Used to go to the woodseats picture palace on saturday mornings for the kids matinee, it was always full. Good memories of the smithywood club, had some good groups on there, John O'hara and the Playboys spring to mind. Life seemed simpler then!

Hi Brian, I remember some of the names you mentioned, Pauline Johnson and Joan Mullins rings a bell. Don't remember Tony White though. We also used to play on the field near the river, seemed to be a lot of fields to play in then. I went to woodseats school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
