hudson-phili Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 The shop below the school I believe was on the corner of Albion St and Crookesmoor Rd. The guy I knew who lived there was Derek Tingle (I think) Across the road was another shop called Radfords! on the corner of Horam Road. I obviously was a couple of years in front of you as I moved to Yew Lane School at Parsons Cross in late '58. I lived on Springvale Rd just below Ashberry Rd. and my mate 'Bubbles' lived on Oxford Street. We where christened 'Froth & Bubbles ' by Mr Wild because of our over enthusiasm. We both had the same surname, Hudson. Mr Wild had two canes one called Big David and the other Little Willie. Do you remember them? I certainly do, I think I still have the marks to prove it.

docmel Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hi Yes you will have moved by the time we came up from St Phillips Road to live in the shop - it was around '62 - we took over from a woman whose name escapes me but I do remember she moved out to Wombwell. Radfords was just above us on the opposite side with the brilliant hardware shop on the other corner. Below that was a drapers shop and then the Ashberry pub on the corner. The only teacher I got the cane from was Mr Breken - I know I had it a few times - and he taped the end with sellotape to give it a little added 'something' The only kids I remember on Oxford Street were the Unwins and Dealtry.

Bit of a long shot this, my dad lived on Springvale Road & his brother, they were Eddie & John Patrickson, ring any bells, I lived on Bannon Street when I went to Crookesmoor. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudson-phili Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Didn't know the Patricksons on Springvale. I lived just below Ashberry Rd, and above Ansons Builders Yard. The people I knew on Bannon Street were David Nicholson, also in my class, and Sonia Cuneo, who's mother had vivid red hair and was a lady of 'renown'. Also I worked on the Ambulance Service with an elderly guy who lived towards the top of Bannon St his name was Jack, can't remember his surname but he used to drive an old black Austin or Ford.

hudson-phili Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Didn't know Mr Breken he must have arrived after I left. The teachers I remember are Mr Wild , Mr Waterhouse, Mr Cohen, Mr Waldren. Mr (Pop) Edwards, Mr Woods and Miss Bennett the music teacher. Mr Woods and Miss Bennett (she was a cracker) had a thing going on, as they say in the song.
