South Yorkshire memories
Anns Cafe
We used to hang around the street but mostly the cafe. There was Pete Lea, Jim Peason, Dennis Buckley and some stunning girls - Jannis, Orial and a few more whos names escape me. We sat in there for hours listening to the jukebox and the songs of the period - Brenda Lea, Conny Frances, the Everly Brothers - when we weren't in the cafe we were in the Red Lion or in the Windmill, listening to blind Freddy play the piano. He used to play a couple of songs for half a pint. Around ten oclock we all finished up at the park gates trying to get off with the girls, its where I met the wife - we have now been married fifty three years,but I still miss the frends from those times.
Pool
Ah, remember playing here as a kid in the 60's
Happy Days in Thorne Park
Happy days in the paddling pool and on the swings, the old parkie taking your name for riding your bike in the park, what did he do with all the names? Remembrance Day in the park in 1963 as a cub, Mr Metcalf leading us. Church services in the little chapel, now a wood yard. Spring is coming, you can tell just looking at the large rookery in the park. Summer's here - listen to the band. Fond childhood memorys. P.S DON'T touch the Kenyons pump.
Old Thorne
In 1851 my Grandfather had a sixty acre farm at 109 Finkle Street in Thorne. His name was also Richard and his wife's name was Harriet. Is there anyone in Thorne that could share any information with me about the Watson family in Thorne.
The earliest Watson I have found in Thorne in my family line was John Watson, born about 1740, and married Ann Glew about 1770 in Thorne.
Good Old Summer Days
My cousin and brothers are in the photo. I'm not because I had cut my foot on the step.
When The Fair Came to Town
I remember Finkle Street, every June there were stalls, children's rides and outside the Red Bear there was a big carousel, and it always rained until school ended on the first day.
Thorne Now.
Hi, I live in Thorne now. I was wondering if anybody knows anything about G Webster & Son? It was a drapers and furnishers, and was located on Finkle Street, phone number was 812 107. I found an old business card today and would like to find out a bit more. If you only know a little bit could you comment please, it would be much appreciated! Thanks dears!
