Did you live on the Manor Estate in the 1930s - 50s?


Recommended Posts

I Was Born 2 Woodthorpe Close Manor Estate In 1935. Went To Standhouse School

& Prince Edward School. Use To Fish In The Pond On Queenmary Rd & Play On The Allottments . Use To Go Over The Cematary Wall & Over The Wall To The Manor Castle. Just Great Happy Days On The Manor.

When I Visit The Uk I Always Visit The Manor. The Last Time I Came I Saw All The Houses Pulled Down . But It Will Not Stop Me Visiting The Manor When I Come To The Uk In May Of This Year.

Regards Roy.

Vera Hopkinson, nee Pope, is wanting to hear from people who knew her and to nudge their memory she remembers having a cat with wings when young.

All came to see this cat from far and wide so she is wondering if anyone remebers this event which was writen up in the Star over 60 years ago.

We thought this may bring her to mind.

Vera' Mom was a dinner lady at Pipworth Rd School (Mrs Pope ) along with Mrs Craven and Mrs Hampshire who's son was in Vera's class at school.

Mrs Hampshire lived across the Rd from Grace Bonsall.

 

Related to Neill and Darren? Neill had a Jack Daw called 'jack'?

 

It used to fly down and land on our shoulders all the time. What a great pet to have.
