Milton Rd Carcroft

A Memory of Carcroft.

I remember growing up on Milton Road. Most of the families moved in at the same time, we were mostly from Scotland, our dads came to Doncaster to work in the coal mines. All our neighbours were friends, all the kids played together regardless of thier age; rounders, running round the block, kirby, hide n seek. We were out from morning to night, only going home for food. I have great memories of growing up here. Parties every old years night in every house on the street and everyone was welcome, friends neighbours and strangers. My dad still lives on this street and a lot has changed but its still our road and as some locals called it the Scots Estate.

I lived at 10 Askern Road Carcroft from when I was born 1945 until we moved to Warrington in 1954 My parents were Robert (Bob) and Jessie TYREMAN and my sister Anne born 1942. Dad was a miner and worked at Bullcroft pit He was born at Pickburn 1902 and his father was the Station Master there. After Mum and Dad were married in Grappenhall Church on 7th September 1940 they lived at 11 Sandyfield View Carcroft for a short while before moving to Askern Road. I remember a church being on the corner and the prefabs on the other corner. It would be lovely if anyone out there remembers any Tyremans After Dad's father died in 1923 my Grandma had to leave the Station House Pickburn and she lived on Skellow Road with her children Regards Ruth Pattinson nee Tyreman
