skippy Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Gday Bygum, the fires are quite a long way from us, we are fortunate to be away from the forest's, so all we are getting is dust from a new housing estate on one side, and a new motorway on the otherside. I don't usually come on here thesedays, I go on the Grimesthorpe thread on Facebook. Hope you ll have a Great Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am one of the people mentioned above. (VH). I lived on the prefabs. I used the steps at the bottom of Margate Drive to go to Owler Lane Intos School every day. I belonged to the youth club at Grimesthorpe Methodist Church, was on the committee, and was a Sunday School teacher, and Sunday School Queen. Brian Duty was the person who died, he was about 19, I think. He lived just a few doors from me, and died an awful death. John Downward lived on Grimesthorpe Road, not far from the bottom of Margate Drive. -. he married Valerie Duffield, who lived on the prefabs. I used to be on here as Cornish Rose, but I forgot my password..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wensley1 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I too lived on the prefabs but higher up the hill. I remember a sweet shop nearer the garages opposite weslyan reform chapel and a paper shop at the other end. Sadly in the 1950s it was illegal to buy birthday cards on Sundays and you had to buy a newspaper and hide the card inside! Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
