South Yorkshire memories
Living in Mexborough
I moved to Mexborough in 1953 when I was 3 years old. I lived in Melton Street where I believe the houses were originally the stables for Mexborough Manor. I lived there until 1966 when I moved to the Windhill estate. The 'Schofield' Technical College was named after one of my relatives on my mum's (Thelma Schofield) side.
Could anyone give me any info about the Manor at Mexborough?
Childhood
My memories of Mexborough are of living at York Street and playing in the 'backs' with Ann Sandford, Peter Sandford, Mary Sandford, Pat Sandford, Ian Gamble, Janet Owen, Christine Waller (Bebe), Pamela Foster, Rita Barker, Janet Barker. (Where are they now?).
Schofield College, Mexbrough
I also am related to the Schofield family, my father George Schofield was the flower boy that opened Schofield College. My father's grandad was the person the college was named after, he was mayor at that time, so probably contributed a lot to the community. I have a few photos of the college and my mum Audrey loves to tell a good tale about her visits to Mexborough.
Pollez Coop
Hi! This is not so much a memory as a request for more information. I'm using Ancestry UK to try to track down my relatives. My mother [Vera Jackson (nee Fox)] was born in Bawtry in 1903. She died in 1995. Her adoptive parents (Fox) worked at Bawtry Hall. Her birth register shows her as Vera Coop and I've found a Pollez Coop (born about 1877) who was born in Mexborough. She's shown in the 1891 Census record as a domestic servant at 73/75 'St Sepulstra Street' (can't read this street name clearly!) If anyone has any information about this family or the street I would be very glad to hear it. I was born in Bradford in 1941 and my mother died there aged 92. My wife and I moved to Cyprus in 1997.
My School Days.

Bolton Hall
My aunt and uncle, Lily and Fred Boardman, lived at Bolton Hall until about 1963. They had a clothes manufacturing business, called Ellen Efbee. The factory was on the ground floor and they lived in a lovely flat up the beautiful wooden staircase and behind big double doors on the first floor. Everywhere was lovely polished wood. Most of the hall looked Victorian, especially the pipework, but at the rear there was a door with a stone set in with a date from the fifteenth century engraved in the stone. One day a hole appeared in the grounds where the mine had collapsed and the council used the hole as the local tip for many years. My aunt was a wonderful cook, especially of different types of scones and breads covered in butter. My cousin married one of the workers and he and his wife lived in a caravan in the grounds near the paddock (which was used by a neighbour to graze... Read more
Kids in The 50's
I had a wonderful childhood growing up on Commonwealth View. We played "tiggy" and "can" on the street and roamed over the farmer's fields over the "suicide bridge" and went "mountain climbing" and rummaging on the tips, also many trips to the "milky stream" to catch stickle backs and drink cold tea out of pop bottles. One game we played was "digging to Australia" - funny because that's where my brother and I now live but I'll never forget mischievous night, penny for the guy, May Queen parade and Sunday School Outings. One day a guy came to work and he also went to Bolton on Dearne Infant School, also at the same place I met a great friend who was from Wath. I wonder if anyone is around from those days on Commonwealth View?
