Bingleys in Grimesthorpe

[Micky D]

Yes the houses you refer to were up a few steps two houses surrounded by railings then an entry and two more houses . The first house was where the Bingleys lived and their married son Harry lived with them,he was the one with the alsation. The next house was the Parnells and across the entry was the Blakes and the Lowes. At the side of the Bingleys was a drop and a wide 'entry' at the top were a row of houses and I think the first family at the top were Elliots. Wards and Hodges lived opposite and their yard backed onto Bingleys back yard.

 

My dad is mates with Charlie Lowe and knew Jack Lowe. My memory of the 60's is fading but I think that Charlie Akers was related to them and lived on Grimesthorpe Road.

When we were kids you could get into the brickyard through the gate that skippy has mentioned (must have been broken) or down the tip, access off of Petre st. I also remember some old rusted machinery (brick crushers, I think) that were still fastened to the old cement slab floor.

You are right there Mickey D Charlie Akers I think was married to one of the Lowe girls. I saw Charlie Lowe a couple of years ago, sadly at a funeral but he was just the same and I would have still recognised him. He is a friend of my uncle - one of the Bingleys

Skippy,-- yes i remember the big gates there but i didn`t know about

the brick company, ( mind you ) i`ve done many a pee`s up side of them

walls. Come to think of it- it`s helped to keep the brick dust down. Hihihi.
