Anyone from Gleadless?

[Jorrigan]

I also remember (names only, not faces)Philip Slack and Peter Reaney, I think they were in my year at Gleadless S.M.

 

My form teacher at school was called Hilary.G.Pearson,her handwriting was beautiful, isn't it funny the things you remember ?

 

I lived round the corner from The Jolly's, and used to pal around with their daughter but I can't think of her first name.!!!!

 

 

I am a member of the Jolly family and I think the daughter you are referring to was Christine, she lived there with my grandparents Stan & Ethel and their children; Brian, Alan & Dennis (my dad). I am currently researching my family tree and would love to discuss the Jolly's with you further to get some anecdotal evidence. Please get in touch.

Thanks

Got to say growing up on G.V was a great experience. Reading all your posts brings back fond memories of people and places. I have not been back to the valley for over 20 years and feel sorrow at its demise.

 

I lived on Overend Drive and would hang around with John Sullivan, Andrew Roper and then Mark White. Of course there was the likes of Sharon Fletcher and Tina Marsden to keep us smiling..

 

When we grew up to our drinking days the Horse and Groom and the John O' Gaunt where the ones. Then we lost Daryl Wilde and Mark Bell ( Belley ) along the way R.I.P. We loved the Valley and lived for the weekends Friday at the Limit or the Crazy Daisy,Saturdays at the Rank ( Top Rank). Always on the late night bus home it was great, brilliant banter fuelled by copeous amounts of alcohol and there was never really any **** it did not matter if you came from Heally, Newfeild or G.V....... Great Times!!

 

Anyone know any news about Glenn Robinson, Glynn Machin, Phil Rose Mick Lindley, Craig Schemelled, Steve and Paul Senior, Gary Carr, Mark Platts, Gary Scholley and Anthoney Neil. They would all be about 42 to 46 years old now.

 

Take Care

Sorry Amanda,I have only just read your message,I do remember the Jolly's but it is so long ago(1963/4)I don't think I could help you with your family tree,although I do remember names from that time in my life I don't really remember details.

If I can help in any way,please get in touch.

Stumbled on this site by accident and had a right giggle at some of the memories and names I remember.

My name is Neil, I lived on Fleury Rd between 1966 and 1991 (the house with the flat roofed electrical sub-station next to it,my mum and dad still live there!)

I can remember loads of people from back then but the only one posting who I remember is Potlegs(Laurie).

Anyone remember me?

Hey Neil I lived there around the 60's I left around 73' but my mom has lived on Plowright close since she passed a year ago, i would go home every year to visit what school did you go to what age are you

i'm russell boyce (btw) lived on spotswood from 1970-1996, now living in adelaide australia for the last 14 months, and although great memories of the valley, dont think i'd ever come back, its not the same anymore, or maybe just for a visit in a few years.
