biker Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 can remember when my hubby was at BBs in the 60s but they climbed the wall into white harts back yard,heard somewhere its a listed building thats why its never been knocked down can't swear to it though.thats where we learnt how to drink. They did have a ladder so that you could climb up it and jump into Brown Bayleys.I used it to return one Saturday afternoon and with my usual ineptitude almost landed on my foreman!!!!

Elwood Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I was born in 141 Cottingham Street in 1954, our house had a small yard just for our house, the yard had a coal house, an outside toilet and another outhouse (I think). There was a gennel running between the yards on Cottingham Street and Westbury Street. The houses further down towards Staniforth Road had four or more houses in them. Thanks for this information. It's interesting that you mentioned a gennel as I have a very feint memory of being pushed in a pram, or something, by two girls, along a cobbled alleway.

RobBodfield Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hi Gethro/ Just read your post here. I remember Brian and Ray - my brother Tony Redfearn used to hang out with both of them. Ray's younger brother, was it Richard? used to be a buddy of mine I also have an eldest brother Jack they would remember. We used to live at number 35 from the early 50's until the mid 60's. What was your wife's maiden name? They must have lived up by what used to be Battistes shop at the Huntsmans Gardens end of the street - across from the Richardsons who lived on the corner. Different times back then.. Hi, My name is Rob Bodfield. I'm Brian Bodfield's son. I mentioned I saw your post to dad. what's your real name?

mickr Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Mick Redfearn. I remember your dad used to hang out with my older brother Tony. I think he used to live in the same yard as the Browns who owned the little shop right in the middle of Beall St? Unfortunately Tony passed away from a heart problem in 2007. Jack is still going strong - he moved to Australia around 1960. Ask your dad what he knows about anyone else on the street at that time and pass it on here? I've lived in British Columbia Canada since 1974. Thanks for the response Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*SueW* Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi Rose Nope, the "Marian Richardson Script " means nothing to me so that must have been after I left in 1959. Also wanted to let you know that I've managed to post the school photo but it's in the " History and Expats " section under " Woodburn School ". Take a look and let me know if you're on it. Are you the girl with ringlets stood in the third row back by any chance ? Let me know if there are any names you remember that we haven't already mentioned. Regards Sue Hi Sue It was actually Eileen Cooper (not Diane), my mistake. However I remember Diane Stewart, we met up at a party about five years ago which was held by Janet Palmer's parents for their wedding anniversary, Diane and Janet were childhood friends. I remember Andrea Cook and I am sorry to hear that she has passed away, even after not seeing people for all those years it is still upsetting to hear news like this. Do you remember learning 'Marion Richardson Script' in school, I remember all the class being provided with a Marion Richardson pen which had a square type nib which was dipped in ink. Its strange how some memories seem to stick out in your mind. Regards Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteley Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I've just had a look at the picture you've put on Woodbourn Road section. The boy on the front row on the right is John Whiteley, also on the pic I recognise Ian Willetts, John Newall, Dave Parkin and Margaret Briggs. I will tell our John to have a look at this, hopefully he will remember more people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Sue Hi Sue Thanks for the photo although I am not on it. I too recognize some of the faces, Ian Willets (he used to bully me using a big Alsatian dog called Rebel), John Whitely, Margaret Briggs (she hasn't changed) and I think Eileen Cooper is on the far right of the back row? Looking at this photo brought a tear to my eye remembering the room and the so young classmates. Take Care Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
