Manor estate 1950 to 1980

[kidley]

Troggy - now there was a fella! He used to live on my nan's road on Waltheof Rd and used to always tell us to f*** off! Never bothered us though, and always went about his business. wonder what happened to him ...

 

Troggy does live on the Arbourthorne he's aged a bit but still looks the same i saw him last week collecting aluminium cans he said he had a front garden full of them that he couldn't get rid of nobody wants them he said so i ask the obvious question. still sound as a pound.

92 Fairleigh, we left in 1952.

 

I have a great recall of it, including the Maypole and the Co-op, there was a very old man called Mr Moxen who lived in one of the oap flats, a police officer named Dusforge who lived opposite us.

 

The officer was called Desforges his son Gerard went to St Theresa's and I bumped into him at Sheffield College in the early 2000's. Looked exactly the same even down to the type of shoe he was wearing.

Hi cuttsie.

We must have been of the same era - did you go to Standhouse? I had a couple of dates (if you could call them that at 11 years old) with Christine. I used to see Julie regularly because: a. She was in the same class as me (Mr Rackham's class year 4) and she lived next door to my Aunt Thelma on Queen Mary Close (or Crescent?). I left Standhouse in 54.

I dont know which class Avril was in Rod as i only met the lasses mentioned after we all left school.

The thing is there must have been at least 6 schools within a mile of Manor Top and that was were every one met up,[ The Monkey Rack.].

I my self could have ended up in any one of three Schools inc Hollinsend,and Norfolk,but somehow got put in to Prince Edwards.
