Thanks for the update Jaysay, I remember Barry living on Park Road.

To think I trawled all the way through the 60s pop group thread when I first found this site (don't ask me why!) and never picked up on Dave Foster!

Am I totally wrong in thinking that Peter Bentley's father had a hairdresser's too?

Thanks again
Sue

Just a point on Barry sue, when he was young he had jet black hair, it is now as white as snow, his fathers hair was exactly the same

Now does anyone recognise these two reprobates? The one on the left is John Serjeant who was my boyfriend in the early sixties. I think I met him at Knowlmere Street and we went out for probably a couple of years till I left the high school in 1964 to go to college.

I think he may have been adopted though he never said so. He lived with his parents at the bottom of Avenue Parade and they also had Farmery's leather shop just round the corner on Abbey Street opposite the Post Office. His mother was a piano teacher and I didn't know till I read on this site that she had been kiiled on the road outside her house in the70s. How awful.

I would probably have got better A level results if I hadn't been going out with Sarge but I have to say that even though he left school at 16, maybe 15, and was working at Howard and Bullough he opened my eyes and broadened my horizons to a lot of culture such as classical and folk music and films. That sounds patronising, it isn't meant to be. We used to go to Manchester a lot at weekends to places like Free Trade Hall for concerts, Manchester Sports Guild for folk music, films at the Odeon on Oxford Road, and shopping!

The other person in the picture is Stuart Hartley who lived on Tremellen Street and had a glass eye. He started a branch of CND and according to another thread on here organised a Cuban missile crisis protest at the Grammar school.

I think my mum told me a few years later he was in the papers as he had goneto university, spent his grant on booze and ended up in the gutter, literally. I think later he may have gone to Japan to teach English.

We aspired to be beatniks in those days, hence the protests and the endless hours in the Blue Dahlia drinking coffee and putting the world to rights!
