Lambo245 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 This is not lambo245 it is his mother. I am Dorothy Maltby, my sister is called Mary, we had the corner shop on Carter Road at the bottom of Carter Place, where Mrs. Wells used to shop. I remember Mrs. Wells, she had a son called Dougie who was a right little varmint. He once climbed up a drainpipe to get away from his mother. Lorraine's mum died of T.B., I can't remember ever seeing her dad. Mrs. Wells would never swear and instead used to shout 'bleaching soda' as a euphamoismn for any swear word.

trastrick Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Hi i dnt no wether you can help me or not but im looking for a alice mary preece... she lived on carter place. anyone no who or where she could now be.. xx Hi. I lived in Carter Place ("on't little 'ill") in the 40's. Near the corner of Carter Place and Carter Rd, there was Shircliffe the fish man, a Mrs Priest, and the Wells family, notably Dougie Wells, who was known as a "bit of a lad". Don't know if that helps, but may spur other's memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
