Hello
Gary.
Hope
you are well, nice to see the site up and running again. My name is
Brian Bower I was on your site before it closed down. I lived at The Laburnums
( Barnsley Road) from 1943 until 1959.We then moved to Hemsworth. I
worked at Grimethorpe Colliery until 1970 I then moved on to work at
Doncaster Royal Infirmary as an electrician where I stayed until
retirement in 2000.I would be please to hear from anyone who
remembers me from that period. I have photographs of some of my
relations who lived at The Laburnums before I was born (when I have
located them). I would be happy to e-mail them to you if they are of any
interest to the site. I would be pleased if you could give me any
information on these people, Denise and Linda Spaxman, William
Newton, Paul Normanton, Clive Dye, Lorna Peel.
Best
Regards Brian Bower.
Denise
and Linda have been in touch with the site but I have lost their
details. If they are out there I am sure they will be back in touch.
Nothing happened for a
while and then out of the blue came this email in January 2006
I have just spent almost two hours reading
through the Brierley Village website. So many old names and faces,
including my own, as well as my brother and sister. Sadly my brother,
Tony Spaxman passed away in 1993 at the age of 49. My sister Linda
Spaxman (now Hand) who continued to live at Park View, Brierley for
many years, now lives in Hemsworth and I live in Pogmoor, Barnsley.
It was lovely to see the old photographs
particularly from the
Methodist Chapel
having spent many happy hours
there as a child. It was also good to hear from
Brian Bower
who lived
a few doors away from my grand parents house (Claudie House). As
children we had many adventures together. Also remembering
Gordon
Steele from Park Estate. Tony used to call him 'Coggy' Steele
- I think this is because he was taller than the others and could
'cog' them up the trees etc.
I would love to hear from anyone who
remembers our family. I have just taken 'early' retirement after
completing 37 years in the Civil Service so I have some time now to
explore other interests.
Great website - keep up the good work.
Regards! Denise

Hi Denise, how
lovely to hear from you. I remember meeting you and your sister Linda
at an exhibition at I think Brierley Club about 4 years ago, in fact I have a
photograph of you both at the exhibition. I have received an email
from Brian Bower asking about your family, is it ok to pass on your
email details to him? Thank you for your kind comments on the web
site, there is plenty more interesting things to come so please keep
in touch.
Yes that's fine, please pass my details
onto Brian and anyone else that would like to get in touch. I spoke
to my sister as soon as I had sent you the email and she has also
started to look at the website again. Hope she can help with the
sponsoring. We did come to the exhibition in Brierley club, please
let us know if you do any more. I have looked at some of the unnamed
photographs and will let you have some names shortly.
Best wishes
Denise Stone (nee Spaxman) Pogmoor Barnsley
