gingercat1 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Thats right "Pond Street Nora" a lady vagrant who frequented Pond Street bus station in the early 70s. She would spend her time shouting and gesticulating at passes-bye. quite a formidable site. I REMEMBER HER FROM ABOUT 1964. SHE WOULD DRY HER UNDERWARE ON THE RADIATOR IN THE LADIES RESTROOM, AND SHOUT AT ANYONE PASSING BY. SHE HAD THE LONGEST STRIDE I EVER SAW ON A WOMAN! I LIVED ON CHARLOTTE ROAD, NOT FAR FROM POND STREET. I ATTENDED LOWFIELD SCHOOL AND THEN ON TO NEWFIELD GIRL SCHOOL. LIVED ABOUT 2 DOORS FROM NAYLORS FRUIT SHOP ON SHOREHAM STREET, LIVE IN TEXAS NOW.

Jim Hardie Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 The last time I saw Nora would have been in the early eighties. I had not seen her for years and got the shock of my life when I called at a shop on Langsett Road for a newspaper very early one dark winter's morning en route to Manchester. She was sat very still on a sack of spuds near the door. I didn't see her at first and nearly walked into her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
