Cyclops Street in the 1920s


Recommended Posts

Hi IVANDARRELL Second time doing this, is'nt it maddening when it does'nt go through. I think I remember the 'Dunns' moving into Cyclops st. Some of the other names are not ringing bells, I seem to remember 'Stocks' who had some older lads,older than me at the time. The 'Pickerings' lived in what was once a butchers shop store front with a house attached, situated at the corner of Botham St, when you talk large family, theirs was large, 13 kids as I recall. When you talk about pigeon fanciers, there were a lot about at that time. 'Peter Gill' who lived on Botham St North, kept pigeons on the spare ground behind his house. In the 'Butler' family I was closer in age to 'Shirley' than the other kids. Ta Ta for now.

 

Regarding the Stocks, I remember, Billy, Jonathon, Angela,and they had an older brother called Jimmy, who was something to do with a bookmaker, and he drove an old Austin of England car.

I think you are Darryl Allen, if so I dont think you will remember me. I was born in no 56, but only lived there for 5 years, and then was wisked away to another Star System, only to be returned 5 years later, about 1950. You will probably remember two of my sisters, Ann and Beverly Dyson.
