Recommended Posts

Hi lostrider, the photo's with the kids on - on the island, who took these as i am on it, ha ha. my sister linda remembers you and asks if you had a grandma who lived on woodhouse crescent?

 

I am intrigued, I thought you said you were a beatson. There is no one called Beatson on the photo of the Kids on the Island. But yes my gran did live on Woodhouse Crescent, Beighton. When this was taken I think she may have been living with us on Delves Avenue by then. My mum took the photo with my camera I think.

Sorry the girl at the back in the middle is the image of me when i was young, we all thought it was me. Who was she, do you know who the kids all are as some look familiar but we cannot put names to them. Where was the island the photo was taken? Was it the island at the bottom nea Delves or the one near the top near Birley Spa Lane?

Hi Jean (Cotty) OMG do I remember you, and the times we sat on the swings in the park singing our heads off, with all our school pals, and our visits to Cann's Bottom, I always wondered what happened to you, my brother lives just around the corner from your child hood home and I always thought of you when I passed it. Strange you should turn up now.

PS don't know if you remember John Gilliver as well, but he passed away earlier this year

Hi Le Baron

 

Oh God, I loved singing (still do, can't get me off a kareoke). Would you believe a day or two after posting my message I recognised a woman in Argos and it turned out to be Kathy (can't remember her second name) had deaf parents and we used to sing Kathy's Clown to the lad she was going out with. She remembered me and I told her about this site so she may log on one day. Remember going 'down Cams' and singing about it to Down Town.

Still got the scar on my leg where I got stuck on barbed wire when we were scrumping apples in the orchard near Bluebell Woods.

I do'nt recognise the name of the lad who passed away but it's always scary when you hear of people our age dying so young.

Have a great Christmas (looks like it could be a white one) and a prosperous New Year (could do with a lottery win!).

xx
