South Yorkshire memories
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.
Village Kid
I grew up in old Denaby with my 2 older brothers. My mum had lived there from birth and still does to this day. In those days it was a real village community, unfortunately this has disapeared over the years, it is now a place for people with too much cash, the spirit has left the place. I spent many happy hours up the wood or the playing field, football was the order of the day on Sunday afternoon. Acorn fights were the event of choice in the woods as well as games of hiddy (hide 'n seek).
Childhood in Old Denaby
I can remember most of what you are saying, I had some great times as a child living in Old Denaby. I wonder what happened to all the people in the years that have passed.
Old Denaby
I was born on Doncaster Road, Denaby Main. I remember my granny taking me to Cyril Scott's farm for a bale of straw for the hens in the push chair, he always had a big horse in the stable, and there were 3 old railway carriages down Ferry Boat Lane, one of them was painted pink and white and was lived in by an old lady who sold flowers, the others were derelict. The village shop was a converted poultry shed and still had the iron wheels attached. In those days Old Denaby was a typical rustic village. I went back a few years ago for a visit, it's totally spoiled now with horrible modern houses on virtually every bit of ground, it was very sad to see how the village has been ruined. My mother's stepfather was shot and killed by a gamekeeper in the woods in 1931, for poaching, his name was Charlie Wright, just a couple of hundred yards in from the village, the woods were owned...

Main Street
Hi, can you help? In the 80s there was a small car garage just off Main Street, Mexborough. It was next door to Rennys hair dressers. I think it was called Pennine Garage. I wanted to know what became of it etc. Thanks, any help you can email me at gpjones@fsmail.net thanks?
