But if tony said it was raining it was raining // Bring us a few bricks Tony please when you have time. :hihi: Harry Maynard used to worship him We were working for Hassles (Hassalls) castles at Fox Hill in 1966 . Ray Morgan was tileing the roofs on the same job and he pinched our big ladder leaving us stuck on the Topping out. Tony Hughes who was my bricklaying partner shouted down to Ken Carr our hod carrier (late landlord of the tramway pub). To go and get our flipping ladder back. Ken reluctantly set of up the site and was gone for ten minutes, he came back and shouted up to us that Mr Morgan says that if we need to get down then we had better jump. Ken then added that if Mr Morgan wanted our ladder then as far as he was concerned Mr Morgan could jolly well have it.

scousemouse Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I love reading some of the escapades of years gone by! Just sorry my late husband isn't around, he would have known most of the lads mentioned here, and, I am certain, would have been able to add some funny tales!

Perhaps if you said what they called him and if he was in the building trade we might remember him:hihi: Edited November 17, 2016 by spider1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always though Jesse was stabbed too. Remember Jesse was a bit cheeky but didn't deserve that. John is dead too? When / how was that? Same age as me was John. There was quite a bit of knife crime back in the '80s down the Wybourn. Could name a few involved but think best not.

Guest makapaka Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 All this is way before my time but like reading about it. What was it like back in town in those days when these blokes were about. Was there a lot of trouble? Were they people to avoid or was it just you knew there was no messing with them but were ok otherwise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandy2010 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I knew him a long time ago, he was a top bloke, John Chidlaw Senior He died some years ago, i went to his funeral, had been a good friend to me in the years i had known him, went through hell with the death of his wife, and never got over it, yeh he had a chequered past, but was always good to his family and friends, it was a sorry day when he collapsed but i knew it was coming, it was a pleasure to know him, he helped me and my son and fundamentally was a good person albeit ravaged through drink due to the loss of his wife. I will always have fond memories of Bellhagg Manchester Road, and hope he is safe in Gods hands ---------- Post added 29-05-2018 at 13:42 ---------- RIP John Is Bob his older brother still with us ? John must have been relatively young Many thanks Hi see my other post His brother Robert died a few years before him, a fine man, Court magistrate, lovely man two daughters, John was only about 49 when he collapsed and lived for another 9-10 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
