cleegirl Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I remember the Brown family, I lived next door but one to them. Your father in law had his back garden full of rhubarb and he used to sell it in bunches for 6p or a shilling. I last saw Muriel about 30 years ago, she walked very badly but she always worked - she was working in an office at the top of Church street. I don't remember Ken very well he must have been older than me, I am 74. They lived next door to the Hobsons whose son was killed outside Stand House school and then there was us on the corner, next to the fish pond, the Turner family. On the other side there was the Robinson family, whose son , Bernard married Doris Hobson, sister of Edward the boy who was killed, they were childhood sweethearts and last time I saw them they were still very happy. Aaaaaah sweet memories.hi babe just to let you know i am back up and running love j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hi Babsy, I went to Standhouse and can remember the teachers names you listed. Miss Lant was my teacher for a while. I also remember your name and some of your other classmeates seem vaguely familiar. Maybe were in the same class? I have a photo somewhere of the school country dancing group... I think Carol Reaney was my partner....do you remember her? I was six years old in '52 so that might help? Our class used to sell biscuits and choc marshmallows (for the school) in the corridor on the left-hand side as you went into the building.Another name just to mind was Lewis Titterton....ring any bells?

tatty dumps Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I was only saying to Sapper the other day, "I wonder if he's been barred?" Welcome back Albert it's been very quiet without you. Have a look at the Mobility Scooter thread and you will know what I have been up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert T Smith Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 More recent photos. Memories of a very active happy, though poverty struck, childhood. Add any comments. I attended Stand House from 1943(4?) till 46/47. when I graduated to luxury life style by living on the then, New Parson Cross. The main big difference being was we did not have bugs climbing up the bedroom walls!! though we still had dicks (head lice) but after a few trips to the ' Dick Clinic ' on broughton Road, Owlerton, nr hillsborough Park to be treated with ' Derback Cream ?. Derback Cream was a ointment which was easily smelt by everyone, So they knew where you had been. However, because you knew that they had not, you felt proud that they could have dicks, but you did not!! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=51864&l=c0255&id=645681893 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
