John bycroft Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I knew Pat in the 60s. I was a young sailor and she was still at school (Greystones). She was a lovely girl but we lost touch and I just would like to know how her life panned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a Pat Walker that lived on Slate St at Heeley in the 60s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John bycroft Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 Thanks. But I don't think that was the right girl. I think that the Pat Walker I am enquiring about lived in the Nether Edge area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John bycroft Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 Thanks anyway. I'm just glad that someone is talking to me, at least. I knew the Heeley District quite well at the time. I used to go to the Heeley Colley bug house quite often and the Helley Palace also. We'd always get in without paying, usually through the exit doors which one of our gang would open for us. I had a brilliant childhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are a lot slower than others unfortunately. There’s a few threads about Heeley and it’s cinemas and it’s people ftom round about our time. I was a Totley boy so our cinema of choice was the Abbeydale. I remember though once trying to get in the Heeley Palace to see The Young Ones and not being allowed in cos I was underage !! Obviously early exposure to Cliff would have damaged me permanently!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John bycroft Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 I lived practically next for to the Abbeydale cinema. We used to get into there on most evening for nothing also. It was more about getting in than the movie. But the abbeydale was the best of the ocsl flea pits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreb48 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Trip to Abbeydale pics Glass of Sass Chips from Bedale Fisheries Great night out for a young lad. You know the thread about Abbeydale Secondary Modern that you’ve got going ? Was it part of the same building as Abbeydale Primary School opposite Broadfield Rd? Not to be confused with Abbeydale Grammar that was on Hastings Rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John bycroft Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Yes I used to love the herbal shop and would always go for a pint of sasperilla on my way home from the Heeley baths. Or sometimes I would have Horlicks. The great thing about that shop was also their herbal tobacco. God knows what was in it but I smoked it often, rolling herbal fags with my little fag rolling machine. Its a wonder that I'm still alive.
