Townfoot Farm
I was born 1949 and lived at Townfoot Farm till 1957. I knew of the Tinniswoods, I am not sure which generation. My dad was a friend of Loise Judson and I remember the son John. I had a friend in Andrew Kidd and were good friends of the family. My grandad was Stan Cranston the butcher from KO. I went to school in the small white building by the swimming pool with its wind-up gramaphone. We moved to a farm near Banbury in 1957 and later near Stratford on Avon in 1963. I joined British Airways in 1972 and retired in 2004. I have several relatives in the area. Jim and Cristine Peat of Ostrich fame, and the Monkhouses and Ingledews. EMail: harrysiddall@yahoo.co.uk
Memories of Cleveland
So Long Ago, But Never Forgetten
I used to live in Eversham Road and to catch the trolley bus on the corner of Birchinton Avenue and Bolckow road was an every day event. I was just 10 years old when this picture was taken, the car probably belonged to Mr Linclater, the cycle shop owner. Next door to him was the chippy, Blackburns, if I remember well, then there was Lightfoots the newsagents, the butcher's shop, and the Yorkshire Penny savings bank on the corner. Unseen, as it is on the other corner, was Lannie's, the tea room and fresh ice cream shop. Bailey's Bakery on the other side of the road, they had 1 penny Hovis loaves and boy were they great.
I was in the young choir in Saint Matthew's Church, went to school at the Board School and, when I had my pocket money, I would stop at the sweet shop, really a residence with the parlour used as a shop, to get a packet of Kayly and licquerice "straw" to suck it... Read more
Grandparents
My grandparents Francis Cuthbert and Lillian (Reece) Conway lived at 109 Birchington Avenue. My mother Mariam Suzzanah lived there for many, many years with her family i.e. Frank, Cath, Winifred, mum, Lilian and baby Kevin. Before that they lived in Bessemer Street. My grandfather worked at the steel works and had served in the First World War. Before my immediate family emigrated to Australia in the early 1960s we were often at my grandparents' home. I remember there was a big grassed area and the bus would do the circle for pick-up. The house had a large back garden in which my grandfather had built a bunker during the Second World War, and he had an extensive vegetable garden, one of my strongest memories is eating fresh rhubarb in a sugar cone on the back step. If you stood on the street and looked right you could see Eston Hills, which we used to climb. My nana died first whilst we lived in England 1961 and my grandfather in 1974,... Read more
Eversham Road
Noticed a mention of Baileys shop, my mam worked there for Arthur Baily and I believe his bakery was at one time near the old boys club, we lived in Eversham Road from I think 1948 until I married in 1968. We lived at no 13 for most of the time but about 1969 my mam moved into no 10 after they modernised them.
Growing up in Yearby
Hi, I lived in Yearby from 1951 to 1966, I went to the village school, teacher was a Miss Lord, I had lots of fun. Children from Dunsdale joined in to make around 20 attending. Fond memories of all the people who lived there during my time. The village has changed a lot, do not know if it is for the better. I lived with my parents and brother Richard at No 1 Fishpond Road before moving into a new home at the back of Raine's garage, courtesy of the farm owner George Towers who my father worked for all the time we lived in Yearby. If anyone wants any information, providing I can remember please do get in touch. Cheers.
Dunsdale
My maiden name is Mowbray. My two sisters (Sheila, Barbara) and I attended Dunsdale School under the guidance of Miss More a formidable spinster of large proportions to a small child!! I have a picture of myself and Susan Weighell sitting at our desk and taken during the 1950's. The corrugated sheet building that was the school - with it's outside toilets, stood to the right as you face the garage and where there has been a playground for several years. We lived on Redcar Road and the view from the back of the property looked towards the old 'Soapwell Lodge' that was demolished years ago. I remember way too much to fill this space but I do remember the shop on the corner house where New Row meets the road and remember seeing the water well underneath the boards where the customers stood. I remember the Falls Field - all smoothed out by a tip during the 60/70s; the Easter Banks where, as a family we... Read more
