I met up with Maurice Cartwright yesterday for the first time
in about48 years it was great to see my old mate again, a lot of
water has gone under the bridge since we last met
I told Maurice people were asking about his family on this page so you may hear from him

Hi
I have just been reading all the messages about Lowther/Exmouth Street and found it very interesting.
I lived in 29 Gladstone Street( Dave Ellis )and i have fond memories of some of the people and places mentioned in this forum . I went to Cole Street school and then Hemingford Street I would like to hear from any one who remembers me .

Hi George
I was born in Gladstone st in 1954 lived there till about 1968 when we moved to the Woodchurch. I went to Hemmy about 1965.
But my brother was there about 1955 his name was Arthur i think the people you knew where a bit older than me you would have to give me a few names i may know them. I remember the Cartwrights who lived in the first house by Baines pawn shop one of girls was my age i think her name was Elizabeth ive just seen the two pictures of lowther st/back exmouth st on previous pages i may have been one of the lads on the wall never thought id see that veiw again GREAT TIMES

Hi Dave most of my pals lived in bright st & back eccky and were older than you
you had me worried a bit Dave in your post when you say Baines
was a (porn shop) i must have been missing out on something
when i lived there, i know what you mean i used to take things there for the some women on our street as they did not want to be seen going to the pawn shop they thought it was degraiding
they were to proud

Dave i used to like HEMMY it was a good school to go to
When i talk to people around my age here i am amazed on how
little they know on history and geography,they must have brain washed me there Your brother must have been there when i was there I remember a bloke who lived in Gladstone st, he used to sail on the banana boats and he used to walk with a bit of a list
I seem to remember that he was either killed in a fight or he was in a fight were someone was killed i think they hit there head on the gutter

Going back to Sun Street, I too went to Cole Street 'till about 1968 then went to Hemmy 'till about 1971
I think !!
I remember the Deers living not far from me on Sun Street.
Our neighbours both sides were called Owens even though they were not related, the Wilson's lived further along and the Bailey's (Ann & John) lived the other end by Richmond's shop.
Does anyone remember the horrible fire in the house at the top of Hilton Street (Sun St end) where the three poor little kids died ??, I think their Mum's name was Sandra.... it was absolutely heartbreaking frown frown
