Hello P Weatherall. I am trying to place you. I delivered papers in Craigweil Crs from 1947 to 1950. Hutchinsons moved from their original house to a house near Durham Rd, probably around 1950. Jean lives in Queensland Australia, I think the younger daughter still lives in UK. I am also tryinrg to place Peter Sawyer

Having lived in Craigweil Cres., I knew Mr Hutchinson, he on occaision helped me with repairs to my motor-bikes. When I knew him he was foreman mechanic at Fred Robinsons Transport. I didn”t know that he had his own business, however he lived next door to Peter Sawyer, a contibutor to this site, who will be able to tell us more.

Regarding the VE DAY celebrations in Zetland road , there was a shop on the corner of the back street at the Durham Road end of Zetland road selling groceries , sweets etc . the people who ran the shop were called Hutchinson , I thought they were relatives of yours Ged maybe your parents ,I often went there for sweets on the way to Newtown School when I lived in Hawthorne road from 1930 to about 1934 we then moved to londonderry road . I was surprised to see on the site when I seen it that you were unaware that there was another Hutchinson in that locality which must have been the Lady you refered to, just thought I would mention it

I remember the VE Day celebrations well. I lived in Hamilton Road which is at one end of Zetland Road. We had our own celebration of course and shared the occasion with Londonderry Road and Dundas Street. I am surprised to read that the Zetland Road celebrations included a Mrs. Hutchinson. I was completely unaware that there was another Hutchinson family living just a stone`s throw away. I was seven years old at the time and remember the trestle tables laden with sandwiches etc. Most of us kids had never seen a spread like it during the war years. I can also remember feeling uncomfortable when my mother danced in the street with neighbouring men. My fondest memory however is of the street races in which I did rather well and was singled out for praise by one of the umpteen “speechmakers”. It is certainly my earliest memory of a happy occasion.

My father Paul (young boy at right standing)was led to this site via a magazine in Canada, he was overwelmed upon identifying himself and his grandmother Mrs Foster. Sincere gratitude is expressed to R. Henderson for supplying this photograph. I personally had only seen minimal pictures of my great grandmother until now. Thankyou.
