Hello to everyone
Eh-up!
My name is Jack Petty.I lived in Accrington until I joined the Navy at eighteen.( 1956 )
I spent a lot of the war years at a house in Booth Street with my mother .Also at Wellington Street.I remember a lad in Booth Street called Bobby,I think.
Also,round the corner from Wellington Street was South Street,where I had a friend called Bobby Rushton.Of course,I may be mistaken with this information.Oh,yes,in Booth Street I lived with my Granmother and Grandfather,my uncle Tom and his brother Joe.You can see it was a bit crowded!
At the end of the war my mother died giving birth to my sister Christine
She died after a few months.I still go down into the depths at the memory
of that time.When your seven,events like those scar one forever.
I hope to meet them,along with my father when the time comes.
Anyway,this is just an introduction.So,anyone recollect me?

Re: Hello to everyone
Welcome - I was raised in Ossy during the war.
I don't know you but we have quite a contingent of silver surfers here, so no doubt someone will
