Tibbles Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hello folks .I know this is answering an old post, I'm Martin Phelan and I just wanted you to know that Pete Swan organised a reunion of all his old school pals from Hillsboro' the year before he died .We all met in the Shakey in Hillsboro'. Pete knew he was dying and was determined to see his old mates again before he shuffled off. He was very happy that night drinking once more with his old buddies, two of them Royal Navy veterans like himself. P.S Played in the same Hillsboro' football team as Ron Staniforth Jnr lovely bloke.

tinytingle Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 In the early 50's up to 1960 there was a core of lads & lasses living on the road who played and ganged up together. We were a close knit group and shared many happy hours together especially "down the bank" by the River Don, an ideal place to enjoy mischief. Jimmy Sellars, Kevin Meehan, John Cheswick, Ronnie Staniforth (son of the footballer), John Preddy, Garry Bostock, Elaine Trotter, Pauline Case and Phyllis Bullas. Wherever you are, thanks for the memories. Sadly Ronnie died back up in Barrow in Furness, his birthplace, at a very young age. His sister Lynne is now in OZ. Hi jossman, I was born on Shenstone rd 1942. Kevin Meehan was my best mate up to about 17yrs of age been trying to trace him for last few yrs no luck. I new most of the people mentioned here, also Alan Whitham,Alan Cheswick and peter Hayward, in the next street through the jennel (Eskdale rd) Christine Charles.I seem to remember the Phelans on Fielding rd.Also Kieth Thurman was a mate on Vere rd.this is really taxing the old grey matter. time for Sangria,By the way ime David Tingle (tiny)ADIOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmac 49 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I also grew up on Shenstone Rd....sister of Ron Staniforth. Very happy memories of the Swanns, Meehans, Cases, Cheswicks etc. My Mum, Dad and brother all died in Barrow in Furness , Dad moved us there to take up the Player Manager position at Barrow AFC. We moved back to Sheffield, Dudley Road in fact, when Dad was appointed Coach for the Owls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmarshman Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Picking up this thread , and the comment by David Tingle , I lived across the river in Dudley Road, until 1952, but knew Christine Charles well. My mother was a friend of Dolly Charles her mother , and I had Christine as a girlfriend . Christine was with Regent School of Dancing owned and run by June Wood , who has lived on Vere Road all her life and I am still in contact with her. What ever happened to Christine Charles ?

gmarshman Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hello David Tingle, Would you believe that! Married to Christine Charles. Often wondered what happened to her . Dont suppose I have seen her since maybe early 1960's. My mother was accompianist for June Wood , and her School of Dance on Bradfield Road, and Christine was a starlet. I was born 1944 and went to Parkside school by Wed football ground, but you would have been 2 years up on me . We left Dudley Road 1952 and moved to Crosspool, reason being my dad worked at Ranmoor , and the journey from Middlewood was a pain without a car. My mother did not want to move to Crosspool and I remember many arguments between mum and dad , and I learned the reason many years later. Where is Christine living now ? Gary Marshman North Wales ---------- Post added 08-02-2014 at 11:49 ---------- Hello Martin Phelan, Your name is very familiar, are you related to Terle Phelan, who if I remember was a dentist and drove and Aston Martin. Seem to remember Phelan was associated in some way over the years with June Wood and her school of Dance. ? Gary Marshman North Wales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
