I am in touch with Barry Boothman who lived on Roe Greave in the 50s. He lives in Somerset, his sister in Fleetwood. Neither on Accyweb I suspect. Those hereon will not remember you without your name being mentioned.

Not on Roe Greave Road, but my grandad's baker's shop, Martin's, was on the next block down from the the start of it, at that time you mentioned.

I didn't know he'd passed away. That's sad.

I presume, seeing as it's the same surname, and he lived on there, that it's the same person who was the lollipop man at the crossing near the junction with Roe Greave, and the former caretaker at Moor End School?

If so, he was a lovely man.

My friend the late Barbara Catlow lived on Roe Greave Rd. and another friend, Eileen Kenyon too
The girl who used to take me to school Kathleen Yarkess, also lived on this road. I can also remember a girl called Gwen Stevens (stevenson) whose mum had a little shop just after the pub ( going towards Union rd.)

Not same Roland
This one was a potter at Holdens from aged 14 until they closed.
He never married, his sister Dorothy moved out the house 10 years ago and lives in sheltered accommodation near Ossy coop.

I think a lot of surnames that begin Tre- are Cornish Cashy.

It must be the son, considering the unusual name, and the same street.

Thinking about it, the man I knew forty years ago was relatively old then.

Still, he was a lovely chap. All the kids adored him.

May they both rest in peace.

Sorry for butting in again, but that post reminded me of another shop, that was just round the corner, from the start of Roe Greave Road, and was there, certainly in the sixties, because I was togged out in there.

Hilda's Baby Linen shop.

On the other corner was Reader's fruit and veg.

They had a daughter who was a teenager then, a friend of my Mum's, called Kathleen Reader.

I always presumed they were originally Cornish.

I always thought he looked like he could have been an extra in Poldark.

Very dark wavy hair, swarthy complexion.

There are quite a few families in the area, with ties to Cornwall.

I think they came for work in the mills, when the tin mines were laying folk off.
