davided Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hi Terry I was born there in 1944 and lived on Rushdale untill 1964.We lived at 120opposite what we called the Bomb site. They used to park all the cars on it. On bonfire night thats where we had it and Harry Roberts the butcher used to come and light it.I also had a brother called Steven.Mom and Dad lived there till about 1984. They then moved to Handsworh.Dad passed on a couple of years after moving but Dear old Mom is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhonda Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Davided, I think this was the early sixties when Dave made "The Crying Game" and he still sings it as good. Mr.England had the newsagent's and haberdashers at the corner of Rushdale opposite the chemist. I can remember both Mr England and the chemist were " terribly posh".We moved away in '62 and went to Gleadless and shortly after we were there The Beatles came to the Azena as it was then they honoured the booking even though they had their first top record. God what a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davided Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Well Rushdale Road was awash with shops in those days at the other end of Rushdale was Richards another Newsagents and across from him was another grocers cant remember their names . Then across from Robinsons was Hartleys the fruit shop and where the Bomb sight was used to be a chip shop.Harry Roberts the Butchers. I hav`nt been down Rushdale for a number of years but its all changed now. I think the Scout Hut is still over the back though. It might not be a Scout Hut anymore. I believe the Garages have all gone as well. Please give my best to Lol, the last time i saw him was in a pub (thats not like me) on Narroy Street called the Lord Nelson. Narroy Street runs of Saville Street. Think Lol had been to a Convention or such like. Ask him if he remembers. I worked at Firth Browns then.
