Re: Old school mates of mine
 

Asked on sat mog, no-one seems to have seen hide nor hair of him.:confused: Was told his ex missus lives in Blackburn now n is still around, Perhaps moved away?

Re: Old school mates of mine
 

Cheers for your info folks, What about Jimmy Whittle does any one remember him. He was a squaddie for a while I believe. May have changed his name to Pickering but not sure. Speaking of old friends does anybody remember Tez Beardsmore. Jet black hair like a ted. He married a lass from Royds street about 1966. Think he had twins. Called them Paul and Paula after the song. Was best man at his wedding but havent seen or heard from him since.

Re: Old school mates of mine
 

Once went out with a lad called Anthony Petifer (thought it had two 't's not 1)
He used to go up Springhill Youth Club on Saturday nights. Could he be the same one?

Re: Old school mates of mine
 

Well thats him on the left. he was about 10 or 11 here.

Re: Old school mates of mine
 

Seen Tony on stanley earlier this season, though its some months ago, probably before christmas. Lived in Rishton last time I spoke to him

Re: Old school mates of mine
 

Is it terry beardsworth you mean?and did his mum and dad live on belfield rd,and he was the oldest of 4 kids?I use to live on royds st at that time.

Re: Old school mates of mine
 

Yes you are right, he was called Beardsworth., I knew he had a younger sister but didn't know any of his family apart from his dad. Since this post I have found out that he has passed away. I lived on Royds st 1966 to 1968. Number 76.

Re: Old school mates of mine
 

Did Tez marry a girl from Haslingden Mog?
Recall he took his own life poor sod?
:(

Re: Old school mates of mine
 

Dont think so Dave, he married a lass from of Royds street area. Cant think of her name but she worked at Higham Mill with Maureen Wallace, Irene Southworth, to name just a couple. They married March 67. Then had twins. Paul and Paula after the song. Last saw him in 1968. He was a bit of a rebel but he was always ok with me.

Re: Old school mates of mine
 

I lived at no 23,opposite Marys off licence and margarats grocers was on the other corner until late 69 when we moved to blackburn.

Re: Old school mates of mine
 

Terry was a great guy,he use to be very good with us as was the rest of his family.
He died in 68 or 69 and yes he did take his own life,I remember it clearly.

Re: Old school mates of mine
 

Yes you are right,he was in and out of the nick quite often but no doubt he was still a great guy.

Re: Old school mates of mine
 

Here is a photo of Tez and his wife. Joyce. Taken in the Bridge in 1966. Bob Burnside at the back.

Re: Old school mates of mine
 

Yes Mog I remember Joyce now.... the mists of time....
Tez ended up at our house one late night with this bird from Haslingden.after a (err) bed for the night. I thought he went on to marry her.

Re: Old school mates of mine

Re: Old school mates of mine
 

I lived next door to the Pettifers in the 1950s and there were two brothers -Michael and Anthony.
