slh73 Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 I used to live just up from there, on Dovercourt Road. Some of my cousins went there. Far as I know, theyre extending the top part (the bit thats actually on Manor Lane), and theyve sold the bottom part (the bit on City Road) to the doctors surgery further down.

Trekker Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 a lot of water has gone under the bridge of life since that time so I don't recall any names. I hope your mums well and you enjoy the lodge. Trek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nettadawn Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Thanks for replying. It would have bin around 58,59 when I first started so when was your mum there? I had some happy times at Manor lane be it a long time ago. I attended Manor Lane School in 1959, I remember sitting my 11 plus there. We used to walk all the way down to the school from Manor Oaks Farm. I remember passing the prefabs and the slag heaps. My brother was always in trouble for arriving at school filthy from climbing over the slag heaps. It was a long time ago and I not recall any names as such but the name Joan Osbourne rings a bell.

RodWalker Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Just stumbled on this thread in the forum. Kirky I used to live next door to your mum. If she still monitors this forum it would be nice to know. Perhaps we could speak using a pm. She'll know who I am from my username. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pony express Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 My mother in law was a dinner lady at manor lodge in the 70s and 80s . Her name was Mrs Jean Finney and she lived on city road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soft ayperth Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Believe there's another thread for this. No matter. I attended Manor Lane School from 1948-51. In the first couple of years I was there, the school only consisted of the old Victorian stone building on City Rd. Then, they built the "new" part of the school in what was then the school yard at the back. Headmistress was Miss Horner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
