My elder brother is Ray Johnson (I'm Les Johnson 3 years younger). One of his friends was Ian Kemp who I knew because they let me hang out with them from time to time in the school holidays. Ray lives in Cole Aston now.

Hi Fred, I think I remember you. Did you have sandy blond hair? Or, light brown? I'm not sure if we were friends, in the sense of going to each other's house, but for some reason I have this strong image of what I take to be you as a boy; were we in the same class? I was in a class with a Len Johnson, no relation to me, Les Johnson. I went to the infants school and junior school but left to go to Coleridge Road for senior school. But, I still lived in Carbrook Street for many years. I have seen a photo of one of our classes on Friends United. I think you're in it. There's quite a few faces I recognize. Look up the school name in FU and you should find the photo. Regards

Hello LesJ

 

You mention living in Carbrook area, what year would that be ?

 

You mention a mate called Ian Kemp. Did he live on Barking Street by the Firth Derihon factory.

I worked at Derihon in the 1961 to 1964 period and a lad called Dale Kemp used to be around, think he would be about 6/8 years in those days.

What ever happened to Dale Kemp , again a blonde haired lad , must have been the younger brother of Ian

I lived at 138 Carbrook Street which was just past the weirs head as you walked down from the 'cliffe. 12 houses past Rothwell's papershop. Reading around a bit, I realise that of course there were a few Kemps and I might be mistaken about it being Ian Kemp, although I think it was. I think his street was a dead-end street off the 'cliffe that backed onto the rec' near the Carbrook Hall. Don't remember the name of the street. The boys of the family had light hair, perhaps blonde. I don't remember Ian physically too well, I'm sorry to say. His nick name was Kempy.

Hi Damkina,
