Michael Kitchen 4 Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Hi Trevor, just noticed your communication about paper rounds at Tomlinsons. When I was there, which would have been 1961, we had designated rounds, mine was the long one, morning and evening, plus collecting money on a Saturday morning, all for 11bob. I left Deering in 1962 and their was a guy called Dave Pipes, who lived in Traffic Street,bin my class. Mike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trevor hillyard 0 Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 Hi Michael.You left Deering a while before me but I had a brother there around that time Alan Hillyard.Its got to be the same family off Traffic St.We used to rush from school to get the short round which was Waterway St only but had to go back about 6 oclock to take late papers to the Power station couldnt beat Pipesy tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trevor hillyard 0 Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 Hi again Michael .I lived on the same street as Geoff Thornhill.knocked around with his younger brother Mick Boyle.Used to go and watch Geoff play football think it was down Bosworth Rd area the pitches were next to the coal heaps went home filthy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Kitchen 4 Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Hi Trevor, Geoff Thornhill was a very keen footballer, played for the Deering school team, along with Bob Bonser, Ronald Rudge and Bill Readman. Geoff also played for Clifton Colts, as I recall. He lived in Waterway Terrace I think, and he had relatives on both sides. The Boyle,s I think, were his cousin's, was their a Margaret Boyle? Ronald Rudge lived in Kinglake Street, and we lived just round the corner in Wilford Road, in the sweet shop next to Haywards. Can't recall you're brother's name. Ask him if he remembers Rainford Higgins, a real stand out guy and good athlete. Or Neil Stone, aka Nellie, he lived in the greengrocers opposite us. Mike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I always felt quite sorry for him but never knew his disfigurement was the result of an accident. I always assumed it was congenital. I wonder if it could now be repaired using modern surgical techniques. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
