Dukes Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Remember the roads Starting from the Vestry Hall going up Grimsthorpe Rd on the left Bressingham Rd,Clun Rd, Ditchingham Rd. Buckingham St,and i believe the next one was Fox St but can't be sure if thats correct at the very top on the right was colditz Burngreave School. Some of the Families i remember from around the area James's Colk's Clover's Bagshaw's Swift's Morton's And of course my family The Hall's All lived on Ditchinghan Rd The pubs i remember The Buck, Ellsmere,Tea gardens,i can't remember the name of the one at the bottom of Ditchingham and also the one half way up Fox St and of course the WMC on Clun Rd.also the Robin Hood, You where spoilt for choice for pubs back then 1950's !960's And 70's.
