Anyone Come From Shirecliffe

[Stockers]

Flo was my Mom, a regular at the Dev, in fact she worked there washing glasses for a while, my name is Lilian Lockwood, I moved away [ overseas]

many years ago, I also played in the woods a nd seven ? ponds

My Dad Tom was the car park guy at the forum, he used to have a fire in an old can, I thought at the time that was a big deal. hi Frank

 

I don't suppose Flo was a good friend of Gert Fowlers was she?

I'll have to ask my mum.

 

My mum lived on Musgrave Cres, my grandad was the local postman (Fred Scott). Gert was a good friend of my Grans (Edith Scott) and years after both my Grand Parents had passed away my mum kept in contact with Gert Fowler who used to come up to our house for Christmas Dinner (mid nineties) and she started bringing her friend Flo who also came for a few years. Flo must have been in her nineties at the time.

Thanks for clearing that up, I spent many a weekend up at my granddads in the late 70's and 80's and have fond memories of Shirecliffe.

[suesher]

Sam lived about 10 houses down from me and married a girl I used to go to Shirecliffe school with, can't remember her name now though, you must have lived there when I did, as I moved to no 61 in 1955 aged 12, and moved in 65 when I got married.

I used to knock around with Mick Cunningham who's grandparent's and uncle Sonny lived next door to you, Sonny and Sam were good mates back then, Fred Thompson lived on the other side of you from memory.

 

sams wife is called vivien.

myuncle jim sadler married fred thompsons sister joyce

Hi Suesher, the Makey's moved in next door to us after the Kelly gang moved away, I visited the old neighbourhood in 92 and didn't think much to it, Peter M and his family had moved into his grandparents house at that time.

I've seen the area on Google maps, it's no longer the place I remember, do you remember Christine, Diane, and ? Mills, they lived with their grandparents about 7 houses from you, other names I recall are the Mulcrones, Siddalls, Fletcher.

Yes Vivian, she often wore hooded tops before they became fashionable, how is she and Sam?
