My grandparents (Sid & Annie Morgan) lived at 45 Girton Road ,Sid was a train driver for B/Rail.My dad was Ken Morgan and his sister Betty.

both went to Carbrook school in the 30s. Ken was a good footballer in his youth and played for Sheffield boys and England boys before doing his national service in the parachute regiment.

I used to visit my grandparents regular and remember old Mr Boswell & the woodhead family.

I remember some of the names mentioned, I knocked about with Michael Brooks, John Shaw, Mark Ash, Alan winters, left carbrook in 1971. Be nice to hear from anybody that remembers me. I am not the Alan Smith married to gillian Eccles, he's my uncle. 

Hi Alan (waffles) Mick brookes saying hello mate, remember you well,  we had some good football on the rec didn’t we?  Alan winters is in Blackpool got a guest house there, haven’t seen John shaw for around 20 years. Mark Ash not since the cliffs days .  Hope you’re keeping well mate
