South Yorkshire memories
Warsmworth 1946-1950
My family were the first to occupy number 5 Tenter Lane, Warmsorth. I think that would be at the end of 1946. I have photos of myself and my older brother outside that house in the snows of 1947. We left in the summer of 1950 and moved into Doncaster so that my brother could go to Doncaster Grammer School, as my father had done before him.
We used to play in an unmade lane opposite the end of Tenter Lane, which we called Sally Gooser (Goozer?) and which lead to the edge of Levitt Hagg quarry. Does anyone else remember this? The only other family name I can remember was the Lowrys who lived next door at number 7. Mr Lowry subsequently had a saddlery shop down on the main road. He made my first school satchel and my very smart music case when I started piano lessons.
I am really interested to find the source of the name Sally Gooser.... Read more
Warmsworth
Yes, I well remember the same walk. The Sally Goozer as I understand it comes from a witch who was connected to the site. Probably an old wives' tale. My family used to live in Levitt Hagg before being moved out to Lords Head Lane. The properties were condemned as I remember.
Going to Visit my Grandparents
I remember going to visit my grandparents and being carried around the lock and talking to the bargees with my grandad.
Staying With The Grindle Family
My father worked at Denaby Main Colliery as a steel erector, installing pit head plant. My memories of Denaby Main are of staying with my dad's landlady and her family. They were the Grindle family and their children were Kathleen, George, Pamela and Carol. I remember being taken to Catholic church on Sundays by a man called "Johnny Early". I also remember Cissie's shop and the level crossing and I think some locks. I was very young but I remember a great sense of security and community and people who all seemed to struggle yet would still share what they had, including their time!. I think the Grindle family address was 14 Anley Street (or maybe Hanley Street). Lancashire was a very special place but for me, so was Yorkshire! Happy Days!!
Ravenfield Street, Tickhill Street..Denaby Main
I loved living in Denaby, when I was a nipper, should I roam into the ajoining streets; I remember neighbours giving me a friendly shove back to my own end with their walking sticks! We never ever got lost as kids; always someone knew us or our family. I remember our families looking after the elders lived on their own. As children we would bring bluebells back from Denaby Woods and share them around to the elderly ladies on Mother's Day. I remember the Lawleys, MacNichols, Joyners, Smallwoods, Whitheads, Spruces. Cocksedges. Walshes, Conlons, Copes, Pashleys, Buntings, Rudds. My grandfather lived in Maltby Street. He used to be a councillor. He had a street named after him in Conisborough. My father Harry was born in Denaby. My mother Margaret and father used to teach dancing at the Denaby Baths, during and after the war. My brother Bob and I went to Rossington Street School. Our head mistress was then Miss Parton, and I loved Mrs Clarke, she was a nice person and... Read more
The Knocker Up.
Does anyone remember George Clark, the knocker up? George and his wife Ethel (my grandparents) lived on Barmborough Street, and they also kept an allotment with pigs. People used to take peelings etc. in exchange for a few sweets to my grannie's, which my grandad used for mixing with the pig meal and spuds. My gran's sister, Florrie Young, I believe lived at the top of Tickhill Street. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers them as I am researching my family tree. I was born in 1946 at 2, Doncaster Road. Gran died in 1964 and Grandad died at Conisbro' in 1971. I have fond memories of Denaby, and visited them weekly.
Warmsworth 1933-1950
My name is Gordon Giles, originally from Warmsworth, but now living in north Wales. When I was 6 months old my parents moved to 6 Gleeb Street, Warmsworth. This was June 1933. I lived there until 1950. We then moved to Balby. I have great memories of going to school in the village, I also remember the people who lived in Gleeb Street, there was Mr Longley, he was a carpenter and made coffins in his workshop at 3 Gleeb Street. At the bottom of the street was a greengrocer called Mr Guest, he had a horse and cart and went round selling fruit and veg. I was friends with their grandson Geoff Norman. We used to play cricket together. I used to visit most houses in Gleeb Street, Mr and Mrs Ashmore at no 2, they sold soft drinks, there was Mrs Day at no 4> It was a nice quiet street to live in. After my father died, he was Thomas Giles, we moved to Westmoorland Street, Balby. I now... Read more
