Anybody from Hackenthorpe?

Surely we can't let the council get away with selling out heritage assets from under our noses to private profitters? Not when there are alternatives...

Anyone remember a David Greetham from Hackenthorpe? He would have lived there in the 70's but later moved down south. He was in his 20's then and had a mate called "Ecky" (sp?). I'm asking on behalf of someone at work who knew him around that time but lost touch.

 

It's an old post but:) I used to occasionally drink in The Whetstone on Cumberland Street in the 70's and I remember a Hackenthorpe lad by the name of David Greetham who was a regular there. I got to meet him when the engine fell out of his car one night while he was in the pub. It was an old purple mini, and the engine mounts had rotted. The last straw was probably driving it across the rough ground that was then used as a car park behind the pub.

It was Gus (Gary) Fordham who put the fork through his foot, as far as I remember. In Colonel Lloyds double digging lesson.

A class photograph from circa 1960-61 at Rainbow Forge Infants school. Although I have a good memory I can't recall all the names of the children on the photo. I'll give it a go even though its about 60 years ago.

When we reached junior school age most of the children on the photo remained at Rainbow Forge. A few of us went to Birley Spa Juniors. Who'd want to be teacher's pet in the hope of being invited to one of Miss Pearl Cantor's infamous tea party's. Maybe Downsunder could tell us all about these cosy get-togethers.

 

 

 

 

 

At Rainbow Forge Infants and at Hatfield Woodhouse Infants (my first school. My dad was stationed at nearby RAF Lindholme) I received no physical punishments. It was a different matter at my next schools...
