I remember Dennis Whiteley.Didnt you live down the gennel? Do you remember an old pal called Ken Tooze. How about John Briggs! Keith Harris? Wow! that was a long time ago.Think John still runs a Taxi firm Chappeltown area I think. Long time since Woodburn rd. schooldays eh! Great Indian now! --I go and sit by the window by the wall that Dave Briscoe and I used to climb over,to wag it, after register. And play in the tanks where later, the Staniforth Arms was built. Which allso, is now an Indian too. I once brought home a mortar bomb + some bullets. Dad was not impressed ,neither were the army guys that came to pick them up. Gee! they were good days. Peace & Love. Ken.

 

Yes we did live down the middle gennel. I remember your name, just spoke to my mum and she remembers you and David Briscoe. I will tell our Dennis to have a look at this website so he can get in touch with you. I see Dennis Fletcher most weekends, he drives one of the mini buses for the NHS, see him round Wisewood area every weekend. Didn't John Briggs have two sister, one called Margaret, I think she was in the same year as my other brother John, will be about 57 now.

Hi everyone,

My name is Mark Thompson and I used to live at 140 Westbury Street. I have sisters Marie, Denise, Jean and brother Dennis. We moved to Parsons Cross in 1981 and I lost touch with everyone when I left school in 1982. I went to Woodburne and Waltheof. I would really like to find John Parker, Mark Musleh, Paul Barker, Phillip Wiseman, Michael and Paul Reynolds, Michelle Hirst and Dale Maw. I am in contact with Michelle Laughton and Gary Pickering, Simon Barlow Penny and Andrew Fletcher.

Would be great to hear from anyone who remembers me and it would also be great to have a reunion.

Let me know who would be up for it.

 

Mark
