Hello bluemack, I'm a newcomer to the site and hope you're still a member. I lived on Wolseley Street for a few years before they knocked it all down, which is a shame, I would love to be able to go back and see our old house.
I have been trying to work out in my memory who lived at number ninety four, and wondered if it could be the Rickets or the Sadler family.
I hope I've remembered correctly, please let me know.
Regards. John

We were also friends with a girl called janet Fisher.the house number was 70 i remember using the outside loo.Their last name was Measey and my great grandad lived with them he was Artur Measey and died around 1955 at 92 years old

The Fishers and the Measys are all i can remember We used to visit my aunt polly and uncle reg back in the fifties.
My mum and dad lodged there in late 40s early 50s my dad worked at a company called wrights ropes Mums name was phyllis rose measey later rose airley my dad was george airley nicked named chuckles. As far as i know he used to drink in a pub called the garrison.
 
Hi You are correct, My name is Jackie Sadler and our family lived at No 94, I am now unsure of the years. I have lots of remories of Wolesley Street, and recall everyone you spoke about. I last saw Edna Ricketts in 1999 at our mums funeral, she told me all her family were well, Sandra was ok. I think our dad worked at Wright ropes for a short time, and he used to drink in the Garrison tavern. (mind if there was a glass he would go anywhere:))
