Born in Croft Baker and my childhood streets were Hope Street, Church Street and then Western Outway after they demolished the first two streets. Stayed there with my parents till I got married and moved.

Born in Croft Baker in 64 and after 4 years in Scartho moved to Parris Place and was brought up there - not a long walk to the ground!

Born in 1964 in Croft Baker, Cleethorpes. Lived in Newhaven Terrace at the time but moved to Cardiff with my Dad's job when I was only 3 months old.

Moved again (with Dad's job) to Leicester when I was 18 months old but when my Dad died in 1968 we were as good as made homeless (as house came with Dad's job) and we ended up back in Grimsby in a council house on Stainton Drive on the Nunny.

When my Mum remarried when I was 12 we moved to First Ave.

Quoted from grimsby pete
My dad worked on a farm in Riby and we lived there ,

BUT

It was the farmer who took my mam to the nunny ,

His name was Peter  


With a change in the preposition that would be a euphemism  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Born at home (my mum's bedroom in the same house she lives in still) in York Place. Grew up there until I moved away to college and work in the 80s. Lucky time and place to grow up. A very well planned and executed post-War council housing development. Wind the clock back or forward 30 years and .......
