Bushbaby Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 hiya i remember bernard worth. Sharps,Knights,Savilles,Quirks,Wallers,Baldwins,Crowleys, Myself Lindley, Savages, Them where the days I knew Knights (Norman, Jimmy) Crowleys (all of 'em) plus Frankie Sheehan Also knew "Worth Brothers" which came up Wordsworth from Hillsboro via Doe Royd. "Bernard Worth" was the main guy. Good salesman but didn't like kids, which was a shame really cause when he stopped outside 405 about twenty of us got on and started swinging on the gear stick and saying "ave you got anythin for a penny?" If you didn't choose quickly you ended up down Milnrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy knight was yr older than me. went to school with pamela. Good days. Frankie played 2,4,6,8,10 delavio at school, and hot rye. He was a very good footballer. He and I started work together in August 70, at John Bedfords. He was bit posh though - I think that came from being an only child when all other families had 8 or 10 kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelly-dean Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Mr Worth was a lovely man and his mobile shop was a god send! I remember his first van, a red one ..Then he moved up to an old charabang thing lol He came round my way at 7.30 every night and we sometimes got a ride from down the road up to ours..I seem to remember he had a shop across from hillsborough park??
