Hi all I'm wondering if anyone remembers my dad from Thomas Street their surname was Cartwright, he lived there with his mum Julia and dad Lenny, he had 5 brothers and one sister. They lived there in the 1960's and stayed for 14yrs. He often tells me stories of Thomas Street and some of the people who lived there so was hoping someone might remember them.

Hi Nelly, my dad remembers your family, I think he worked on the coal with Ted.
I am doing the typing as he is not so good with technology yet... He would be made up to chat about the old days ... Hope you are still using this site

Unfortunately it is over five years ago since Nelly last accessed this forum, but you never know.

Any idea why I can't download these images?
Can someone send me them?

I lived up in Dingle Road a couple of hundred metres up Borough Rd. I used to go with mum and an old pram down to the gasworks to get a bag of coke. It must have been before I went to school( Christ Church Claughton).

Hi all, my great grandfather lived at 23 hind street, and was a 'fireman' in the gas works- does anyone have images of the pictures linked in this thread? They're not accessible.
