My nanna Millicent Neale and her sister Betty were born at 54 Redeness st in 1913 and 1923, respectively. I think they went to Bilton St school
my grandparents lived at 41 Redeness street in the 30s and 40s. They were John (Jack) and Lilian Horseman. Their 2 daughters Evelyn ans Aggie lived with them. In 1939, on the death of my mother my father, Stan, sent me to live with them. He was on war work and couldn’t care for me. I used to play with Mrs Herberts granddaughter. I remember Bilton Street school, and the night the unexploded bomb fell on the gasometer at the end of the road and everyone running. We took shelter in Mr Whitehead’s house. I believe he was the local cobbler I remember going to the pictures with my aunt, and being taken to see the soldiers marching through York. so many different stories and your site brought them all back.
