Shared Memories of Stocksbridge
 Stocksbridge, the War Memorial c1955 (ref: S324309) |
Year: 1956
420 Rimmington Row- My Home
I lived at the above address with my mum Evelyn and dad Jim Hoyle who for a time was the caretaker at the Stocksbridge C Of E school just across the road. My sisters Valerie and Vivien and I lived with with our parents in a one down and two up house at 420 . The other downstairs room of the house contained my grand father's ( Bill Brameld) cobblers and clog makers shop which as a very youg lad I would help out in. He made me a pair of clogs when I was about 3 years old and I would happily clomp along the pavements making the irons on the clogs spark. I remember a Mr Corbridge had the last house on the street and he was the local barber - very handy with the old wax taper and comb. One of my main memories was in 1956 - at the time of the Suez crisis - when I waited at the window and watched battle tanks being transported on the backs of large lorries- they seemed to go on forever.

 Stocksbridge, from the Clock Tower c1955 (ref: S324018) |
Year: 1953
Early Years
I think the road you see near the top right of the picture is Hunshelf Bank. If I'm right then I used to live in a house at the top of the hill with my family. It stood back from the road and looked down on Samuel Fox's. When I was around 6 years old my parents moved us to the Coach and Horses on Manchester Road which is the main road seen in the picture. I hope I'm right. My name then was Sanderson. Last edited: 27/05/2008 09:46 by Lesley Turner |
