Brian White Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 All this is really interesting. Jim and Phoebe Eccles were my uncle and aunt. The house on Cuthbert Bank seems to have been home to a few generations of the Eccles family. I didn't know that before today. Phoebe's parents, who were my grandparents lived with them too at that address. I well remember the shop at the corner of Cuthbert Bank and Bamforth Street. We were in there often. My recollections of the Eccles family are almost all of the prewar years prior to 1939. OK, Boozy, Keely and Retep - tell us more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeley 1969 Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 My great grandmother was a spye before she married edwin eccles and she died in ecclesall union workhouse around 1917 when my grandad was 10 he was then in Fulwood cottage homes until he was 15 what we cant understand is why his family didnt help him in anyway. He very rarely spoke about his time in the home and it was only after he died that we were told he had been very badly treated in the home.
