davyboy Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I had just left school(1958) and got a holiday job before starting tech. I went into the office to report for work (dogs body)and there was the most gorgeous girl typing away. A couple of weeks later the office cleaner asked me if would like a date with that girl. Yes Yes Yes, We were together until she passed away a year ago. Her dress reminds me of that meeting and I have it in the wardrobe 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me back to summery days at Mulehouse Road when I was nowt but a snotnose. My in-laws bought their first house on Mulehouse Road just after getting married in 1970. It was a terrace and cost about £2K! I also had a great aunt and uncle who lived on Stannington View Road and regularly used to visit them in the ‘40s and ‘50s as a child. echo.

My old stomping ground. It was the first house my folks bought. Clueless as to how much it cost. I played on the field that was next to Crookes WMC before they sold it off for housing. The Bole Hills too was a favourite. They moved up to Crookes from Canny Street on Attercliffe about a year before I was born. Remember well walking to Lydgate school through the cemetery in the dark of winter being a fraction more than scared stiff! When I was 11 they moved just across to the other side of the cemetery to the top of Delph-house Road. That home cost them the princely sum of £1,100. I don't think you can buy a wheely-bin for that money in Crosspool nowadays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
