David Travis and his sister Jean lived next door to myself and my brother Keith on Upper Valley Road, Meersbrook, wasn't his mum from the north east, I seem to recall she had an accent of that area.

Keith has seen David recently, apparently David is a painter and decorater now and he did some work for him. Keith is now widowed, has been for 9 years now, I don't see him very often but, when I do he's usually seen someone from the past. He's met Derek Memmott recently and some others from Carfield but, I've never bumped into anyone since leaving Carfield School in 1962!

Marion Maynard also lived in our yard on Upper Valley and the Storey family were in the yard at the top. We used to play rounders at the top of Upper Valley as there was a huge wall whiich we used as a backstop, we also used to climb over the wall into Dr.Thompon's garden on Upper Albert Road to nick his apples, I always got left behind as I was the smallest so I used to have to walk all the way back round as there was no-one left to give me a leg up!

My husband Roger lived down at the bottom of Upper Valley at number 47 (I think), he was neighbours to David and Peter Horsefield, I think their dad was in the police or something which is why we never played down at the bottom of Upper Valley!

Regards,

Duffems.

Hi,

Loretta Collis was the cousin to my father-in-law (I think), even though she was just a couple years older than my husband her father and my husband's grandfather were brothers. I can vaguely recall her, didn't she have long wavy hair, they lived possibly next door to the Co-op shop on Valley Road. I'm not sure whether she went to Australia way back, I may be wrong as I never actually met her but, I remember somone saying that.

I'll pass on your regards to David via Keith if he sees him, do you want to pass on your name via my pm box?

I can recall the name of Sandra Gregory, wasn't she a friend of Josie Gladwin, there were 3 girls who used to walk home from Carfield together and they were two of them, can't remember the other one's name.

Hope the pups arrive safely.

Regards,

Duffems.

Hi Davided, just thought I'd fill you in about the reunion Banksia mentioned, I have just received a letter from Lynn Thompson (Jackie), the date is December the 5th at the Waggon & horses Millhouses.as i understand it they used a private room for the last reunion and I'm sure you will be warmly welcomed.

Also Jackie's told me there is a school photo going in the Active 8 in December, so don't miss either.

Hi guys, can anyone tell me more details of the reunion?

 

Posted well back in the thread, I was born 1951 at Heeley and lived on Foster Road before moving into the bakers shop opposite Annes Road school at 146 Gleadless Road.

 

Friends of friends are running the Waggon & Horses, so would like to be doubly involved......

 

Mates from that era were amongst others the Siddalls on Foster Rd & the Lockwoods on Tillotson Rd

 

More details please!
