Guest basilbear Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hello ..i was lucky enough to live at 34 Collegiate Crescent in the late fiftys to the 60s .My mother and father were steward and stewardes..when it was under the control of United Coke and Chemicals .I can tell you a lot about it from that era or are you looking at earlier history? Hello - I've just discovered your interesting link with #34. As it happens I am doing some research on #32. At the period of time that you mention, I believe Mr John Laverick of Tinsley Park Colliery was there (upto mid/late 50s) and subsequently the property was run by United Steel Companies. Do have anything to add to that? It would be very interesting to know more about the USC's use of #32. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SUPRISESTORM Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hello we arrived at 34 Collegiate Crescent ... my Mother,Father and Brother about 1954 when it was ru. I remeber n by United Coke and Chemicals ,my mother and father being steward and stewardess .Number 32 at that time was a vacant property 'English Steel took over at 34 and also aquired 32 .l remeber the builders being in at 32 ..and remeber huge brass chandiliers bieng thrown out .The entrance hall at 32 was very grand with colourful stone tiling ...a wonderful staircase whith huge cut glass windows half the way up the landing ...i used to slide down the banister The house was then split into various rooms for accomadation for the trainee managers to stay.I remember the driveway had two cast iron lamps with with round globes ..which must have looked wonderful at night There was a pathway built between the two houses ..and later a building containing two squash courts and a table tennis room was built on the land in between. If you have any questions please ask! Regards john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest basilbear Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Thank you John, that's lovely. It sounds as though you had a lovely time living there! Thanks for the great descriptions - superb. My research is coming to an end now, but I will re-post if a question comes to me. regards BasilBear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
