The Wrong Guy
There at the time when Cawthorne was a tour operator and whether it was coincidence or not the tour operator was called Harry Cawthorne coach tours. I do believe that they were an established firm; it could well be that the village was named after the Cawthorne family. My mother who was called Ivy Mitchell was to organise a trip to Blackpool to see the Blackpool illuminations. The thing about it was that we lived in Royston in South Yorkshire, and we were to travel to Cawthorne to start our journey. When we got there some forty-seven of us found that the coach that we were to travel in was an old Guy's petrol engine coach, and even back in 1952 it was considered as a museum piece. Being an inquisitive young lad, I asked Harry why the Guy coach was being used and not one of the modern buses of which he had in the bus depot: apparently those coaches were in need of repair and that it was...

Memories of Wombwell.1950/60
At 66 years of age I still keep in touch with most of my friends that belonged to the coal mine community. Living on Wombwell Main Pit Row we were a large family of nine. Our mother did her best to keep us clean and well fed. She was a wonderful mother, friend and neighbour. Mum never turned anybody away. My twin sister and I attended Hough Lane Methodist (Tin chapel). The Sunday school anniversaries were something special. It was here my sister and I sang our first duet. Miss Florence, Miss Hannagan and Enid we remember to this day. We attended the church up until our teens. We started Kings Road Junior and Infants at an early age like everybody else.

Yorkshire Family Tree
My great-grandad came from Tankersley, Lowder Lee Backhouse, born 1856, he was model maker (E & M). I don't know what sort of models he made. He was married to a Mary Coperly who came from Wortly, Yorks.
The Howard Brothers
I am trying to source information, or hopefully copy of documentary, concerning the Howard brothers' fight to prevent their cottage being demolished, to make way for new houses. I believe the docu was titled: A Fight for Rose Cottage. It was made in the late 1970s, early 1980s, perhaps made by Jack Rosenthall, the late celebrated playwright. Any information greatly app.
Ebenezer Square
Hi, does anybody remember living in the Ebenezer Square? We lived at the top, if you turned left you went under a hallway and we lived in one of the houses. I remember some of the families, Fallis and Fletchers, and we had a relative who had a shop at the side of the Co-op, she was called Goldthorp, when we bought 2 ounces of spice, or sweets as they are called now. If it went over she would cut the sweet in half ,the good old days, 2 blackjacks for a halfpeny, wow we thought we was rich.
