My names Ray I was born in whitmore reans in the 50s went to local schools and worked in the area until moving to Dorset 10yrs ago we still visit relatives every year and notice all the changes in the city I have enjoyed looking through the site and seeing photos of old buildings I have worked on like Lindy Lous and the old Sunbeam factory I also remember the old st andrews church burning down in the 60s and going to the opening of the new building
Hello Ray
Welcome on board We have quite a few members born in old Whitmore Reans, what was once a neat and tasteful area of town.
It sounds to me you were in the building trade in some way I have a picture of Lindy Lou’s being re-built in the early 1980’s perhaps you were working on it then.I will find it out and post it on People and Places for you to comment on.Please keep in touch!.Below the old cellar head.
I am really happy to know this site. it gives me more useful knowledge. I will come back and hopefully have more good information.
Hi Ray, your connection to Whitmore Reans and the changes you’ve witnessed in the city over the years is fascinating. I am heart-warmed to hear about your memories and experiences, especially the significant events like the old St. Andrew’s church burning down and the opening of the new building.
