Cliff Ton 10,529 Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Welcome Kathleen. Â It's always interesting to see if there's any reaction when someone replies to old posts. Radford Boy"s was made nearly 7 years ago but he still looks at the site frequently so hopefully you'll get a reply. DaveK hasn't been here for a few months so you might not be so lucky.

Radford Boy 26 Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hi John Dudley. You are correct. I am indeed the Les Newberry who emigrated to Australia in 1964. I married an Australian girl and have three children and now five grandchildren. Prior to retiring in 2012 I was the product manager for Australia and New Zealand for a range of Samsung products. I was back in the UK only four months ago catching up with my cousin, Paul Brooks. Paul used to live at 82 Southfield Road, right next to the gates to the playing field.

They had two daughters, Patricia and Joan. Any one know what became of them? I was across the road at number 44. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Radford Boy 26 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hi Pete C. Sorry, the memories starting to fade a bit. (The joys of getting old). We left in December 1964. I do remember Pat Crowley, Paul Scales, Russel Palethorpe, Nigel Wagstaff, Sandra Talbot, Chris Morley, The Blatherwickes, and John Dudley. I have photos somewhere of most of these people. Must see if I can find them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete C 2 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Pat Crowley and her sister Ann lived next door to us...think we moved in to number 63 in 1960/61 so would have been there when you were..I had an older sister Sylvia who was best friends with Sandra Talbot...also had a younger brother Andy...I left school in July 1964...would love to see any photos you have.

Radford Boy 26 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hi Jackson, A girl that lived opposite me on Vale Crescent South worked at the library in the 60s. Her name was Joan Barks. Wondering if you knew her and where she is now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
