My Youth In Grimethorpe

A Memory of Grimethorpe.

I was born in Batley in the West Riding, but moved with my parents in 1947 to Grimethorpe. We lived on Carlton Street with my grandparents, Charlotte & Efram Dawson. Efram was my grandmother's second husband, her first husband was called John Mulliner. My parents then moved on to Hastings Street, where I had many friends, my friends in the village called me George and my friends at school called me Dave, my sister was called Christine but she was known as Tina Mulliner. I left Grimethorpe at 17 years of age and joined the army.
