[Growing up in Bilborough]

Hi TrevorS,

Thanks for your welcome post.

I lived at 100 Melford Road, born there in 1951, I lived between the Haywood Family and the Simpkins, the Fletchers lived at 96 and the Brindley family at 94. Bernard Brindley was my best friend. I went to Melbury primary and then onto Glenbrook juniors. I came across this site by accident and was really surprised to see my name mentioned in a past post (November 2014) by Bilbraborn who remembers me. I would really like to hear from him. If yourself or Blondie (posted mentioning the Brindley's) know of a way of contacting Bilbraborn that would be good.

Welcome Terrence and have fun.

Now then Blondie. A few names have rang a bell DING DONG!! I knew Bernard Brindley who lived with several brothers and sisters at around 92 or 94 Melford Road. He was associated with my friend (who I lost contact with years ago) Anthony Broughton. I briefly had contact with Bernard again in the 1990s but haven't seen him since. There was also a Jimmy Bridley and I remember younger sister Avis who was at Bilborough Grammar School. A nice lass but a bit of a torment. I remember Lorraine Sharpe. I didn't really know her but she was in the year below me at Bilborough Grammar School.

OK back to Terrence. My mum and Dad are both deceased so I can't ask them, and we moved when I was only two. I remember a man called Alf Allen who lived nearby. He was a joiner by trade like my Dad. There was also a woman who lived nearby who owned a very well trained Alsation dog called Guilder. This dog, I am told, saved my life when I was a toddler by preventing me from running onto Wigman Road when the Milkman left the gate open.

Hi Blibraborn, I'm Anthony Broughton, 100 Melford Road from 1951 to 1963
