    I'm so sorry I was thinking of OBF with that ghastly Brian Garnett who by the looks of it has shot himself in the foot!

  • Re: Hodge Lane Sunday School by Dave Collinson (Member 10258759) on 4-Mar-2011
    I also lived in Hodge Lane, 115, and remember going to Hodge Lane Mission on Sundays. I remember you had a card and got a star stamped in it. You needed so many stars to go on the trip away if I remember right. Also remember going to the wash house with my Mam, and yes, the Stag Inn down the road.

    Thanks for bringing back these memories of childhood.

He died at a fairly young age after the war which was very sad for his wife nee Vera Blackledge. I played the kettle drum in the band before and during the war and was a Sunday School teacher after ... more >>
