Sandholme Road In The 1950s
A Memory of Gilberdyke.
My nana was Toppy Dixon (nee Gossop) and lived in the white house mentioned by Julia - actually the house was called Woodlands. My grandad was Bert Dixon, he worked in the signal box at Staddlethorpe Station.
I spent most of my pre-school years and many school holidays at Woodlands with my grandparents. I can remember learning to ride my 2-wheeler bike down the bridge in Sandholme Road, and playing at 'concerts' on piles of wood at Sandholme station with Nana as the audience.
Bob the butcher called on Tuesdays and Fridays, the fish man came on Fridays too. Horace the Co-op man came on Thursdays with his van. Mrs Creaser usually delivered the post on her bike, sometimes it was Audrey.
On Wednesdays we often caught the coach that came down Sandholme Road to go to Goole Market.
My mum was Marjorie Dixon (later to be Shaw), she had an older brother called Harry (Danny).
