Back Street South
This was the early marital home in New Whittington of Sam and Kate Hall. Laurence was born at No 9. The houses stood to the right where the sheltered bungalows stand today. London Street School is in the background.

Springwell
Unstone War Memorial

Springwell and Unstone War Memorial
There were no road markings at this crossroads in August 1934. Albert Bradshaw on his way home to Hundal after a Saturday morning's work, was killed instantly when his motorbike collided with car heading towards Mosborough. Albert's wife Blanche had lost her fiance Billy Andrews in the First World War, which Albert had survived but only after losing an eye on the Somme. His inability to see to his left was almost certainly a cause of Albert's fatal accident which left Blanche a widow whilst still in the early months of pregnancy with her third child, Fred. The shed in the background of this picture stands on the site of Springwell Cottages, home of the large Hall family and their rivals the Wattses.

11 Hollis Lane
Michael and Alice's daughter Sarah Hoskin brought up three daughters from her marriage to Ernest here at 11 Hollis Lane.

Sunnyside, Barker Lane

Sunnyside, Barker Lane
