Just before Christmas I was trawling the shops in Freshney Place when I happened upon the new GTFC Reminiscence Hub.

To give myself 10 minutes off from the drudgery I nipped in to have a quick skwizz around and found myself reading EVERYTHING on the displays. Very interesting and learned a lot.

But one thing that did catch my eye, which I never knew, was a photo of a house that GTFC owned in Cleethorpes, maybe there were several others too, but during the years 1951-1954 it was the home of Bill Shankly. It was, and still is, number 16 Campden Crescent.

Who knew? Does anyone know of any other 'club houses' that have been owned by GTFC over the years?

Ive got a photo of it, but I cant remember how to add photos in this post. Has the option been removed?

The club owned several properties in that area for a long time. I believe Don Donovan moved into one when he came here from Everton.

In fact, there’s charges against some properties in the club accounts

Back in the early 70s Mike Hickman and Stewart Brace lived in houses owned by the club in Twyning Place

I wonder if some of the houses mentioned near to Queen Mary Avenue were owned by Bill Carr?

Wasn't his depot somewhere in that region? Colson Place?

In the early 1970s they owned a house in Pendreth Place in Cleethorpes. It was next door to my Nan and Harry Wainman lived there.

Pity they didn't hang on to all those houses.

Would be worth a tidy sum nowadays.
