victormh Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Danny and myself were childhood friends, in same classes at Swallownest Infants School and Junior School then we both passed the 11+ and went o Woodhouse Grammar School He lived with his auntie on Park Hill, Swallownest and visited his mother regularly, she lived at Hollinsend, just below Intake. His mother lived just across the road from a mutual school friend - he is still alive, retired as Man Dir from his own materials testing company, living in Nottingham I havn't seen him since probably 1960/61 although we lived just over the hill about 150 yards. I was working for a London company from 1961 and then another of their offices in Manchester. 1966 I left for Driffield, and in 2006 Malaysia No idea who he married or where they lived. But my father went to the United Coke and Chemicals offices in Orgreave around mid 1970's and he told me he had seen Danny working there - cannot be any later year because we semi-retired my father to Bempton, near Bridlington about 1977/8 and he was only a part timer at Handsworth business from about 1974/5 That's all the help I can give you - I have no idea whether Danny is still alive and kicking, or not - there has been nothing on the Woodhouse Grammar School web site in the "old pupils passing" notifications and up to July 2006 I have never seen him at any of the School Reunions As for his age, will be 80/81 now - he was one of the slightly older pupils in our classes - I will be 80 in July of this year If you find anything out or even a contact number for Danny could you please let me know Best Wishes - Victor, Malaysia - hot every day, no seasons - virtually similar every day of the year -today (Sunday) 2-40pm it is pushing 108 degrees, but will drop to about 88/90 degrees during the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye up Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Thank you for all the replies, it was me that started the Treeton Grange fb page last week.
