brian1941 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) Brian1941 I remember the tree very well as I fell off it more than once. I also remember trying to climb the fence at the back of the homes with Tommy Botham but he got his arm impailed on a spike on top of the fence and the firemen had to get him off (Was nasty he still has the scars apparently) Do you remember climbing up inside the outhouse where the dustbins were kept and hiding from Miss Linley? ========= hi suffolk boy, just thinking of them old bangers of them old coaches, bedfords i think they called them. parked in blackbrooke rd ready to take us to redcar, the mother smacked me for calling them biscuit tins on wheels happy times.

SatanInHeels Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 The Grove was on Broomgrove Rd ,( still is but I think it belongs to Hallam Uni now ), had a big snooker room and a pear tree hanging over the wall at the back. Had a couple of weeks there in the early 50's before moving on to 99 Halifax Rd and Miss Backhouse. Happy days. regards Mick. .......does anyone know if that is now the hallam uni nursery? ...we heard that it was but didn't know if it was a 'story' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
