Did You Live In Shiregreen?

[spingoboy]

Hello Nik84,

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply but I've only just come back to this thread, silly me.Too busy rabbiting elsewhere ! Yes tell your dad he's right, my name was Susan France and I lived next door but one to him. We moved down south in 1966. Please give him my regards. I'm not on facebook.

 

didnt you have a brother called Alan?

Shiregreen used to be a lovely area especially Low Shiregreen in the 1950's. Woolley Wood School only had one class for each year, so we all grew up together, before going to different schools after the 11+

 

Same with Firth Park. Used to all go there for the Whit Sing on Whit Monday and the park was full. Don't know whose idea it was for the traffic system there now, but it causes chaos.Was once a thriving shopping area. Like everywhere else now, run down.

 

Such a shame

Tigersoul did you know Valerie Cranmer who lived on Godric in the 60s, she was a school friend of mine.

No, Alan is my cousin. He has two sisters and they lived on Mason Lathe Road.

I lived on Oaks Fold Road.

I recently went back to Hadfield House Lane, some how it looked different, the penny dropped. The trees had grown a lot since 1947.

 

Hi I wounded if you knew my mother in law she lives at 106 Hatfield house lane she was born there in 1939 her name is Margaret Rawson and she had a older sister called Pauline ?

Hi Joeemcon, Did Pauline Rawson go to Owler Lane Inter. A dark haired girl with a rather strident voice when she wanted. She used to make us "fusty firsts" take notice, I think she must have been a prefect if it is the same person.

Hi leftin60,I've just asked my mother in law if Pauline went to Owler Lane and she did . I thought it was her you was talking about when you mentioned her voice .Did you live near her or just go to the same school ?

Hello Timbuck,

Only just spotted this old thread, I'm new to the forum. I was born on Oaks fold Avenue, 1934. I used to sit with a Terry Ashton at Hatfield House Lane,Junior School. He originally lived on Molyneaux Road. His father died while Terry was in year 4 at HHL, I was nearly as devastated as he was. In 1974 there was a Mrs Ashton living at 90 Oaks fold Road, but I may have the wrong Ashton family. I'm perhaps a fraction too early for your age group.

Norrie, I was at the same school a couple of years ahead of you (born 1932) I remember it was a really good school. I lived opposite the school, my Grandma just a few houses away. The Head Mistress, to my shame I cannot remember her name, for years after I had moved on( Firth Park Grammar)she always asked my Grandma how I was getting along.
