dunsbyowl1867 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 very sad news just been reading about him and it says he was born in pitsmoor does anyone know where abouts and what school he attended. In his autobiography he says : He was born at 82 Bramber Street in 1929. His family later moved to 110 Nottingham Street and later to 34 Addison Road below Firth Park. (Do you think that is where he his catching the tram from in the film of his funeral?). Though not a Catholic he went to St Catherines RC school and then to Owler Lane.
