    Hi David

    it's some 48 years ago we were last in contact, Stumbled across this site when trying to find some info about players motor club.
    Do you remember Pilkington’s yard at the bottom of Woodstock Avenue that flatbed Lorry full of bricks. It’s always stuck in my mind.
    I also remember going with your mum and dad to Wicksteed park or somewhere like that. We went in your dads new car or new to him a dark blue Cortina Estate.  We spent most of the time in the swimming/paddling pool.
    Will be in contact via email

    You have a good memory, better than mine. Yes I do have a half brother called Tony who stayed at my grandparents a lot and they lived on Radford Grove Lane. His surname is Barks though.

    He had a Saturday job and worked for Les Tollson’s shop at the top of Glentworth Rd opposite the off license.
     
    As for Martin Jewers he lives on Wordsworth Rd or did some eight years ago as my mum would see his sister Jane sometimes when out shopping. Jane ran the Nags Head pub on Nuthall Rd Bobbers Mill for quite a time. I do also remember Jane Humphreys. 
    Can you remember Vonney Cutts?  I went on holiday with her family to Scotland and Wales. She went to live in Johannesburg.
    I can recall that Ian Munro,s mum did good cheese toast.

    As for Berridge Mr Kemp hit me with his taped together rules a few times but we did learn the times tables, not so good at remembering them now.  Mr Parr rings a bell as being my teacher at some time. I will have a look if I can find any photos..

    It would be good to catch up with David Priestley (Biss). Last time l spoke to him it would be with two tin cans and a piece of strings!.

    Hello Jill, I remember you having dark clearly hair. My hair was very blonde but I have very little left of it now. I used to be friends with Ian Monroe who lived on Grimston Rd near the bottom, a few doors up from the greengrocers  Whetheralls I think and David Priestley a few doors down from the top same side. As to underwear mentioned in Chulla’s post not sure where he was going with that post?  It brought a memory back, my aunt worked at Marathon knitwear on the corner of Hartley Rd and brought a bag full of colored nylon pants for me as they were just coming on to the market at the time.  They got handed out to friends and I remember playing in the river leen with friends at the bottom of Woodstock Av  wearing them. I remember lots of things like making trolleys and riding on them down Churchfield Lane. How times have changed.
    As to me I went to Peveril with that dull brown blazer and did not really enjoy going there!   I moved from Wordsworth Rd when I was 12ish to Homefield Rd  at the bottom of Aspley Lane near to the Wheatsheaf  pub. My surname is Richardson and I now live in Woodthorpe.
