Year: 1965
Cargo Fleet Lane
London born, married a Yorkshire Rose, bought a house, semi-detached, corner of Cargo Fleet Lane/Bournemouth Avenue. 2 children born there (so they could play for Yorkshire, so my wife Margaret says). Many happy memories of walks to Stewart Park, going to the Fountain pub on a Sunday for a pint, walking everwhere. My mother Peggy Pinchin (now deceased) lived around the corner at Woburn Grove. Left to emigrate to Australia in 1973, moving to a place called Slacks Creek, which is outer Brisbane, now Logan City. Last edited: 11/08/2008 14:37 by Roger Hall |

Loss of childhood
I attended the local school at the bottom of Gisbrough Bank - I have several school photographs of myself and classmates. I had a fight with a school friend as to whose turn it was to serve the school dinner that day. This was sorted by a teacher who said - You do it today - to my school friend and to me - You do it tomorrow. My tomorrow never came. That night I was told that Mr Pugh my foster parent was very ill and that my sister and me would be going somwhere else in the morning. I felt so sad about this. I had a little friend called Rex Harris, others were Valerie and Tania. I never had the opportunity to say goodbye to them. I have lovely memories of the 1952 Coronation party. I went as the weather girl, my sister as a doll in a box - I think she won. I remember looking longingly at a copy of the royal stagecoach which was to be given as a prize - it was lovely. I went to brownies held in Ormesby Hall in the stables. I was an Eskimo and the lady maid - I had to walk on stage and say "Madam Snow White is outside and if you've not much work to do she would like to speak to you." We had a car and went out to Stoksley most weekends for an icecream. Our address was 14 Leamingtom Grove, off Cargo Fleet Lane, and our foster parents were Mr and Mrs Pugh. Mr Pugh died I remember going with him to his work at Dorman Long's. I picked up metal circular discs. When we were ready to go I had to clean my hands in a very large tob of swarfiga - I clearly remember the smell. I think he was a foreman, I would dearly love to find Mrs Maude Pugh. She may have died of course. Maybe a classmate would recognise my name as June Almond. I have other snipits of memory and would love to hear from anyone born in 1946 who would have attended this school at the same time... Thank you Ormesby for the memories - Buscelbox@aol.com Last edited: 03/09/2006 00:29 by June Thompson |

Year: 1957
Raining Frogs A memory of Huntworth, Somerset My grandparents, George and Helen (Nellie) GATENBY, lived in Connaught Road during my early childhood in the 1950's. My granddad was retired from working 60+years on the railways so he had retired to a row of about 6 terraced railway cottages. These cottages are gone now and replaced by flats. They had huge back gardens and he grew all his own veg. What I always remember was when it rained it rained frogs. Really! There was always hundreds of tiny frogs all over the place after a heavy shower. I am convinced they came down with the rain but who knows! Posted: 06/02/2008 16:09 by Mark Gatenby |

 Middlesbrough, Hugh Bell School 1896 (ref: 37557) |
Its a Small World - Clifford Wilson A memory of Middlesbrough, Cleveland New Added 2 days ago Hi, I was interested to see you were in 4p Clifford as I was also and of course Dickie Purvis was a familiar name to me as he became School Captain with me as Vice. Our House if I remember rightly was Dormans, which is where I had my first job for a very short time - in other words i worked for Dormans but not for Long! You would have to be from the Boro to appreciate that 'joke'!I was also interested in the fact that you were in Royal Signals for 2 years. I served in Royal Signals 27 years basically as the result of George Harmers advice and recommendation. He was dead right I loved it and served all over the world only left for family reasons but having reached the rank of Captain from that of a Beverley Boy Soldier. In fact the year i left I was due to become Major. So I owe a lot to good old Hugh Bell and in particular George Harmer. For your particular interest I served in Bielefeld, 4 Div Herford and 22 Signal Regiment Lippstadt where I was the Anglo German Liaison Officer which I enjoyed. My first posting was to War Office as a Cryptographer and then off to Korea with further posting to Singapore, Hong Kong and Cyprus (twice) where I served with 9 signal Regiment formerly 2 Wireless. Its a pity we never met. I still attend reunions so if there are any names you would like me to see if I can trace for you, let me know.

 Middlesbrough, North Ormesby Church 1896 (ref: 37569) |
Year: 1941
Cargo Fleet A memory of Middlesbrough, Cleveland I have many memories associated with this church in as much as it was where I went to Sunday School and my brother James was an Altar Boy and chorister. During the war years my mum ran the "Castrees" fish and chip shop in the market square right opposite the church. Her name was Rebecca Wilson but she was always known as "Becky". Although these times were not good ones because of the war, black outs etc., that little shop was packed from opening to closing and created a fantastic place of togetherness. A place to meet and support each other. I remember walking from our home in Chester Street, Cargo Fleet, to the shop and home again after closing when all the cinemas and pubs had closed. I look back with fondness on those times and have often wondered if there is anyone who remembers my mum and also anyone with memories/photos of Cargo Fleet. I do hope this stirs up some memories for you.....Cliff Wilson Last edited: 14/03/2008 10:01 by Clifford Wilson |
