Yeh ... that's where it was, or is. My mom was a member of that church ...

Re: Who Remembers.......
 

Just pinged Arthur St. on Google Earth .... I see the Rec is still there .... lived for a while on Queen St. before my mom and dad split up ... and my gran lived on Victoria St. I see that the cobblestone streets are gone; what a surprise, eh.

Re: Who Remembers.......
 

Cobbled Streets gone, Bloody hell Eric you have been gone a long time:D

Re: Who Remembers.......
 

Still plenty around Jaysay as per Chapel Street in Clayton, which Eric will remember:

Attachment 14431

Did see an L.C.C. notice that it will be closed to allow highway maintenance to be carried out ... 31st August >> 21st September. Can't see it just being weed removal ... possibly re-surfacing ? :(

Can't think there is any in Ossy kate, Chapel St. Clayton I thought that was an unadopted road, its a one sided street If I remember rightly, facing some allotments or fields, not sure, have a friend who lives on there

Re: Who Remembers.......
 

I remember Chapel Street .... right in the old 'hood .... I really do believe that at least one street should be left with the old cobblestones ... it really does have some historical value .... maybe declare it a local heritage site, or something like that ... leave it as sort of an outdoor museum exhibit ... it's not like Chapel St. is a main drag (translation available if needed) ... maybe one of the local councilors could look into it.

A mate of my brothers lived in Chapel St, Kieth Topham. Alaso I used to go to the youth club, a copper called John Garner used to run it, local groups played on a friday night, the Scorchers and Tredwheels & so on, with Roy Taylor,

Re: Who Remembers.......
 

I've just been thinking about cobbled streets, I can't remember as I ain't been down for a while, but is the Straits in Ossy cobbled or is it tarmacked now, bet Gayle knows:D

Re: Who Remembers.......
 

Remember Keith Topham, Alan. My in-laws lived on Chapel Street for years ... think was the third one up. Father-in-law had Ellison Fold Garage behind Chapel Street. They then moved across the road into the sheltered accommodation there.

My sister Patsy clough formerly Mckenna worked at moscow mill for ages and our entire family went to good old st marys. Patsy, Colin, Tommy, Joe and Sharon. We lived in one of the cottages in fielding lane close by pothouse lane. Remember picnics at (cocolumb) brook.Haven't a clue how to spell that! Was a fabulous place to be kids, open countryside and freedom to wander. Shame it is all built up these days.

Re: Who Remembers.......
 

Nor did we, we had a loo in back yard. Good old days eh!

Re: Who Remembers.......
 

Remember the club well, we thought it was the biz at the time.

Re: Who Remembers.......
 

remember Morice Hindle well, creepy guy always brushed too close if you were waiting at the bus stop.

When we were kids in Ossy we thought the winters were ace, some mornings the snow drifts would cover the cottage windows. We would have icicles on the inside of the windows. Don't think i could cope with that now.
