dawnci1 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hi everyone I have been reading all your memories and wondered if anyone remembers Leonard E Smith, think his mum & Dad were the Claxton's, William & Jessie, doing a family Tree. All I know is the Family lived in Wheldrake Road in 1925, before moving to Hampton Road Pitsmoor in the 30's and living there until the late 40's early 50's Cannot find anything else after that date, other than Len joining the Grenadier Guards during WW2. I am hoping that someone remembers something, although it is probably before your years, Im hoping that someone has older family that may remember. Thanx everyone ;-) x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarefl Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Riding my bike up the slope to Bernards, chips and curry in a tray. Past Tonys shop ("thankyou luv, Ta luv") Up to the rec past the 13 storey flats (one had a launderette!!), eat the chips and do a couple of circuits around the rec. Back down past pye bank school, (after it was sand blasted) then up onto Andover Drive, home. Familys I remember; Cooks, Andrews, Keys, Keyworths, Parfits, Greaves, Blunts/Brunts?, Dales, Crafts. Teachers; Miss Templeton, Miss Chamberlaine (White), Mr Brittain, Mr & Mrs Bezant, Miss Major. Anyone remember any of this? Sounds alot like a day in my life back then . . .my mum (Rita) worked for Cath and Bernard at the chippy and my sister owned the hairdressers "Snip its" in the middle of the chippy and Cario's (Tony). . . you didnt say my favourite teacher tho . . . Mr Fraser . . .I thought he was the bees knees when i was at Pye bank Clare x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Fraser . . .I thought he was the bees knees when i was at Pye bank Clare x We used the hairdressers, well Mum did .... I do remember being sat on the board across the seat to make us higher up. Just spoke to Mum and she can't remember the name of the hairdresser, but does recall having her hair dyed titian ..... I remember that too, I thought some stranger was taking my little brother as I didn't recognise the hair colour from behind LOL I also remember Cario's. It seemed to be (as I remember) as small shop that was absolutely stuffed to the gills with stuff, it's where I had the choice of baked bean or hedgehog flavoured crisps! Wow, such memories and all 40+ years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
