Hi everyone. I used to live on Broadfield road. I have posted under missing friemds. I just recently lost my dad Walter Nixon to a blood clot - it was sudden and instant and I am having a very hard time with it. We used to go into the Spinning Jenny a lot. Mom used to work at Howard and Bulloughs and I think dad did too. The worked at Silk Velvet before we left for Canada in 1969. Mom was Shirley and my brother is Paul Nixon. We lived at 18 broadfield road.

I've seen Broadfield Road mentioned a few times on this thread. Does anyone remember the Hindle family who moved in there round about 1955? Their parents had just divorced and they moved there with their mother. There were two brothers Thomas and William and two sisters Sylvia and a younger one whose name I don't recall. Thomas would be about 13, Sylvia 12, William 10 and the little sister maybe 7.
I would be obliged for any information anyone has on this family as I am trying to get in touch.

Hi Janet that is about the age that he will be as my father is about that age too and he used to hang around with him.I believe my father mentioned something about him being a talented musician

Mike Mckigney now living in Australia looking for John Power who lived in Water st.
We both loved modern Jazz and spent hours doing solos of the greats.I was lucky enough to meet John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk in a club called The Five Spot down in the village in New York.Wish he had been with me.I spent a lot of time with them and George Shearing gave me a ticket to a concert called Jazz Under The Stars in Central Park where I saw and heard Billie Holiday,Dinah Washington,ModernJazz Quartet and lots more over a few days and nights.Good times John.
If anybody can find my old pal or knows where he is please get in touch with me.
Mike Mckigney.

Keith, do you remember the Rishton family from Green Haworth? They lived in one of the cottages that is now Moorgate, (formerly Biggins Bedlam). I believe it was also known locally as 'Red Lion Row' due to its location.
The names were Florence (Davenport) and Thomas (Rishton), the children were Walter, Annie, Edward, Helen (Nellie) and William (Billy). They all went to Green Haworth School.
