A period of massive change in Worksop and the whole country with the depression of the 30s, then WW2 and finally the clearance and rebuilding of the 50s
I was born and brought up in Worksop,my dad still lives in Worksop hes nearly 84, I love these, thank you for sharing,my dad will love all these memories,he was the security at bairnswear for 25+ years, thankyou for this amazing collection
Loved the video, i'm in Australia now, but born in Kilton there, my grandparents lived in Gateford Rd, nan used to have lending library there, Grandfather was a window cleaner, Bower was there surname
Glad you enjoyed the video, I knew a Jo Bower who was a window cleaner, he had a son called Jeff who I used to knock around with as teenagers, both now sadly not with us. Jeff had a son Steve who I'm in contact with. The family lived on Cheapside
My blister,, worked at Burnswear. Do you recall a kind of blacksmith workshop?. Think it was, situated, where Matalan car park is now?. A Hungarian man had it. My Dad's friend.
Wow...Worksop used to be clean. It's a shame to look at these photos, knowing what Worksop today looks like. I think council should start a city wide cleanup thing where the public can get involved and help make Worksop great again.
A nice thought, I believe the Civic Society had a go at get volunteer groups up but it meet with a blank response, but if you want to start up a campaign count me in.
i think you have one thing wrong where you say chethams was there before Boys , Farands worksops first supermarket was there Cheethams was oposite where Markes was a bakery and at the bottom of the shop was a cafe . and no Cheethams was not where Boys is never has been
Hi Brian, in 1939 Cheethams were on the site that Farrands occupied if you look at the picture in the video next door is Harrop's tripe shop, and if you study other pictures with Harrops on you will see they are on the site which Boyes now occupy, also the steps to the left of Cheethams would not have been able to be there on the other side of Bridge Street.
