Cliff Ton 10,466 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Might be useful if you told us a bit of your history in Carlton, such as the road you lived on, the school you went to, names of people you knew in your days there. It will ring a few bells for people reading this and somebody might actually remember you. You say you lived in Carlton from 1940 to 57 - does that mean you are now somewhere else?

Karlton 582 Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I was born in kirks buildings, Pearsons farm was only a few minutes away, I remember Straws the bakers opposite the windsor castle pub, huckerby's the butchers and Sid Atkins the butcher who took over from him, shentalls grocery shop, Joe Smith butchers Bert fisher the barbers. I worked on the milk round for Mr Pearson in my school holidays and at weekends. we would often stop for petrol at the garage come blacksmith just below straws, petrol then was something like three and sixpence a gallon if my memory serves me right. please bear with me friends i'm very new to the internet. look forwood to meeting you all. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Karlton 582 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Thanks for the welcome messages forum members, please bear with me. I'm a very new member. I will try to reply as I steadily go along, I've read some of your topics, brilliant. how you manage to put photos on here i'll never know. perhaps one day i'll manage it when I get used to sending messages i'll dig out a few memories of carlton and topics etc. ps. I did attend st. Augustines catholic school although i'm not a catholic, in those days you went to the nearest school, I left at the age of eleven, and then went to Chandos secondary modern boys school. under the headmaster Mr. coates and then Mr. Marsh. I now live in lincs. gud luck everyone. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
