bothamlad Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Had some really good memories of Wensley street prefabs back in the late 60s. There was a bunch of us from grimesthorpe school,we used to head up there in the evenings ,meet up with a couple of lasses who used to live there,Lynn and her mate.What a friendly area that used to be. How times change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broakham Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I used to deliver papers in the early/mid 60s for Revills at Firth Park. The Wensley Estate was on one of their rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of Revills rounds were on the Brushes estate so I also did The Oval, Horninglow, Stubbin etc. The Page Hall round, (Firth Park Rd, Firth Park Ave, Hinde House Lane, Wensley estate and then down to Page Hall terraces) was a bit of an oddity, but was probably because Revills lived down there. It was a long drag but we got 2d to catch the bus back. I can't actually remember crossing paths with any other paperboys, but I used to bump into a papergirl whose round came down Windmill and onto Hinde House. We used to pop into the allotments to errrr... get to know each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
