GJ2004 Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 Originally posted by pitsmoorlad "the names Dempsey and Oliver" Have checked with Mum, who knows all. Apparently the Olivers lived across the road from us and I used to go in their house to watch their telly. We didn't have one then. Another name she mentioned to me was the Townsend family. Should we rename this thread "A trip down (Woodside) memory Lane. Yes your mum is right the olivers did live accross the road somewhere near the woodman pub I know they went to live at firth park behind the old grammer school the brothers were Steven and Peter and I think they had a sister (later on though) I am very sure I know who you are but can't get the name i wlill speak with my brother as he has a better memory and went to school with either you or your brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitsmoorlad Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Wow your memory's good cos we were moved in about 58 / 59. BTW Mum says do you remember "Deaf and Dumb" Annie ? Apologies to the PC brigade but that's how she was known back then. She was speech and hearing impaired yet could "gossip" with the rest for ages. Her husband was also speech / hearing impaired, yet their daughter had no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitsmoorlad Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Cycleracer, I can't remember anything or anyone that far down. It must have been lower down than the school and that was a different world. I only went through there when I was being taken to my Gran's who lived at Shalesmoor.
