Karlton 582 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 It might be of interest for you to know that I worked for Mr Pearson on his farm at the top of Southcliffe road when I was about 8 year s old helping with the milk round. I don't know if you remember the farm there, just below there onthe same side there was a bomb shelter. and opposite that stood a row of terraced houses called 'New Row' hope it will be of interest.
