I started work from school in a prefabricated wood building at the back in August 1967. It was the Stores Accountant’s office. I always recall that the address used was “22,Holgate Road”

Hi Brian (and other readers),
I’m related to Harry Storr and the others that lived variously at Cambridge and Oxford Streets and Rosary Terrace. Any stories and memories would be much appreciated,
Pete

Hi Terry
Hope you’re still around and receive this. My Grandmother Edith Dearlove lived at 7 Stafford Place, my Aunts Rose McGarrity and Lily Turner both lived at the bottom end of Rosary Terrace, are those names familiar to you ? Do you also recollect a Harry Storr who lived around the corner from them, I think that was Mt. Ephraim, he used to run his own “ under the counter Bookies “

Hello, my name is Lawrence Parker and I used to live at 14 Oxford street in the 1950s, the shop was Hawksbys fruit and veg and my mother used to regularly buy veg there, old man Hawksby was quite a character and used to wear a brown suit, brown trilby hat and brown shoes!
