Kirky 1 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Your right, Stephen etches, that was the guy, his dad use to always stand at the gate smokin. And as regards the marriots, they were three different families at Frank Wheldon, two of them lived over on valley Road, just up from the Carlton hotel but neither were related My brother use to hang around with Jimmy on Cavendish road, and Fred, which I found strange at the time, because if I remember, wasn't Fred an Hells Angel as they were called then? And my Brother had a lambretta? They use to always go to the disco at the forum on a Saturday night, and always end up fighting (not with each other of course haha) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kirky 1 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Can you remember Mr Cauthorne who owned the newsagents near you, and the crofts who ran the post office next door, they had two daughters, Alice and Susan I think they were called I have so many memories of carlton girls school, as I said before, my dad was the caretaker to we lived in the school house, That house was so big inside. And I think the prefects used one of our rooms for some reason? Like a common room or something? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kirky 1 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Opposite Belper avenue, they use to be a little footpath that led to the back of the golf course and on to foxhill , before the golf course was their, they were orchards and fields, have you any idea what we use to call that area? Because it's doing my nut in, haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DAVIDW 1,681 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Yes that name rings a bell there was a also a George(?) Wilson had a brother Sidney who was a signalman on the railway(Colwick East Junction) Don't know anything about those Wilsons . Getting back to Johnny Marriott , it's just come back to me that his nickname was "Yane" He got that because if you asked him for one of his sweets or a chip , he would reply " Yane avin any " !!

piggy and babs 544 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 the area you talking about down the twitchel was russia either because of all the russing waters whhen it had been raining or it looked like siberia when covered in snow. fred never hells angle just a biker like all the kids fred was the youngest and would have been 60 now but died at just 53 i went to his funeral. although they did sometimes have hells angels visit them including friar and mac friar had a sidecar with a coffin on perhaps this is why you thoughtfred was hels angel, a lot of people still think all bikers are hells angels Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kirky 1 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Not sure about a David cross, but seems to much of a coincidence for him not to be related to Carol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
