Hi Nick.  Thanks for your reply and the info on your uncle Joe and Aunt Gladys, I have fond memories of them both especially during the war years, all of the neighbours were very nice and we all stuck together during those bad times. The street was not cluttered with cars in those days mostly horse and carts making deliveries. Moore's the coal merchant at #121, George Myers the green grocer at 116. Jim Warrington the milkman all had horse and cart. My parents Walter and Nancy lived at#122 from 1934 until 1972 when my dad retired and they moved to Bridlington. I am keeping my two lifelong Sharp Street friends Ron Green(from #79) here in Canada, and Dennis Peck (#65or67 ?) in Australia, up to date with this site as they do not have email. I can answer any questions that you may have but unfortunately I cannot figure out how to send a personal email address to you on this site.

This is my first posting on this site and I have registered after reading the entries with great interest, as I was born (1935) and lived at 122 Sharp Street prior to moving to Canada in 1964  (Just 5 houses away from 112 where the Robinsons lived.) At that time Joe Robinson lived there and he was the local barber.
I can report that, prior to and after WW2, the roll of honour was on the outside wall of Beals Joinery which was a large carpentry firm owned by Roland Beal who lived in the last house at the bottom of Sharp Street across from the Warrington family who where the local milk producers and delivery family in the area.
I am pleased to hear that the memorial is in safe hands at the Wyke office in the Newland Avenue school (which I attended as a child) and I hope to be able to see it when I visit my family in September.   George Barrett.
