Hi Dennis - just a thought should this be Davies Street?
Passed this way recently and the laundrette you mention has been boarded up for very many years.

You are absolutely right, it is Davies Street. My spell-checker is set to correct my mistypes and it corrected Davies to David. I have turned it off now!

The thing that amazes me... is just how long there has been a chippie at the top of Neville Street! Is the longest serving chippie in Platt Wazz?

Not a chippy anymore, it's now a cafe... which sells chips!

My Pal Jack Grundy lived in Neville St in the 70s A great Pianist

My grandfather William Dale lived in Neville Street (I cant recall the number) in the 40s and 50s. Does anyone femember the family? We (the Tweeds) lived around the corner in Syreasham Street.

My Dads family hailed from around Neville Street Platt Bridge. He was William Hill and was related to Jack Grundy and the Prices

I remember Mr Dale, and his wife Olive They were friends of my parents Arthur an Eveline. his father "Billy" Dale came to our house every Sunday night after Chapel.( Zion Methodist)

I was born at 81 Neville St, in 1940 relations were all the Grundy's in Bank St. Relatives in Sydney St. Always wondered what happened to childhood friends, Wendy Ellison, Mollie Ingram, Jimmy Clark, Arthur Jones, Eric Tomlinson, Ellsworth Mitchell, Dennis Jolley, Terry Keefe, Derek Grimes, John Howarth, Adonis Gibson. And loads of others, happy days
