The Knocker Up
A Memory of Denaby Main.
Does anyone remember George Clark, the knocker up? George and his wife Ethel (my grandparents) lived on Barmborough Street, and they also kept an allotment with pigs. People used to take peelings etc. in exchange for a few sweets to my grannie's, which my grandad used for mixing with the pig meal and spuds. My gran's sister, Florrie Young, I believe lived at the top of Tickhill Street. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers them as I am researching my family tree. I was born in 1946 at 2, Doncaster Road. Gran died in 1964 and Grandad died at Conisbro' in 1971.
I have fond memories of Denaby, and visited them weekly.
