I lived in Keighley till 1955 then moved to canada, my email address is sylviarosiek@yahoo.com if you have information at all please feel free to email me as Eastwood School had a lot of memorys for me, so thankyou and I hope to hear from someone.
My Life Living in Keighley
I was living in Keighley. I was attending Eastwood School at the age of 7 years, I don't know what age I started this school, but I have a lot of memmories and would like to hear from somone that could have gone to this school also. My name at the time was Sylvia Rooke, I think I lved on Cravenrow but am not too sure about the name. If anyone out there can help with this school at all that would be wonderful. If you could contact me my email is: rosieksylvia@yahoo.ca. Thankyou, I hope to hear from somone soon.
Friends
It could have been earlier or even later....my memories of a girl called Elaine Potter and us playing tea parties at her house with her dad's homemade apple wine........Yvonne Blackie I think lived in the Rectory.....I think we were about 5 or 6 years old.....my name was Lynn Carney then and we lived in Wighill Street...when we first moved to Sutton-in -Craven we lived in a mill house that was on a cobble street and the houses were back to back, one up, one down. I have some very fond memories of that village.
School And Friends
My name then was Barrett. I remember living on Walton Street, Holmebridge. My best friend then was Dorothy Hobson, we lived at no 6 and she lived at no 18 I think. I went to the council school where the headmaster was Mr Laycock. My best teacher was Mrs Baker. And I remember going to the sweet shop next to the park, I think it was called Ogdens.
Sutton, The Park And Pinnacle
Sutton as I remember it holds many memories. I was born and brought up there, attending school at the Council School, Sunday School at the Chapel and using the facilities of the Park from an early age until I eventually went to do my National Service in 1956. The Park is little changed although it now has many items of entertainment which were not even thought of when I used it. We had four swings, two wit backs on the seats and two without for use by the older children. There was a rocking horse further down the edge of the field and then Mr. Walter Thopson crowned it all by presenting a slide in the late 1940s. The bowling green and putting greens were as now but there was no cafe. There were three tennis courts. Two tarmacadam and one grass. All these have now changed their use. The football field was not as well kept as it is today but provided facility for both Schools and free use... Read more
