Hello there
I haven't been on the site for some time, so I hope no-one minds me asking a couple of questions.
1. If you lived in Brookhill Road in the 1920-30's, which RC schools would you attend? (my dad lived there), and
2. Does anyone know where abouts on Derby Road O'Hara's Boot & Shoe repair shop was? (my granddad's shop, apparently there was one on Well Lane also).
Many thanks
All the best
Annette

Hi Ken,
Dad was brought up in 106 Brookhill Rd with his grandparents, his mum & dad lived in 108! I've since found out that his uncle went to Hawthorne Road Council School, so my dad may have gone there too! Dad was born in 1918, lived there until he was called up in 1939!
Thanks for the welcome back Lynne!
All the best, Annette

Blimey Ken, living opposite each other, they must've got into scrapes and gone to school together! small world or what! When my dad died, his cousin, (who was the living image of my Dad), Peter Hewson had us all in fits telling us about the mischief they got up to!
Hang on, Edwards - anyone in your family nicknamed 'Bant'? Don't know his real name unfortunately, but there was a Bant Edwards who was mates with my Dad and Uncle Chris, got a photo of him somewhere!!
