Jan's memories

Hello Janice and all other readers
You mentioned the cinemas - the Civic was a flea pit (that's what I
was told and to never go there). I did go once, just once. My
favourite haunt was the Embassy - shows changed every Thursday.
Sometimes I would meet my mum after she finished work at Woolworths

Jan's memories

I can remember an incident at school but can't imagine anyone else would be
interested, although it would be nice to know if anyone else witnessed it

Hello Valleyites. I lived on the corner of Brookes St and St Pauls
Terr as a youngster and attended the Valley Methodist Church
kindergarten in Brookes Street near the corner with Ann Street in
1947. The only person I can recall is Lorraine Ballard who lived in

What a slack bunch we have here. Surely someone has memories of their
days at the Valley School? Or even about the Valley itself? How about
interesting/amusing tales of growing up? Or school-mates you bumped
into in later life?

Hi there
We have two new members - not sure when they attended FVSS so I shall
leave it up to them to post something to these pages telling us a
little about themselves. Which reminds me, I think there are still
several members from whom we have not heard anything. So how about
posting a few words and introducing yourselves. Also, another point -

Hi, Ray, can`t help you with Lanham St., but a name to keep in mind is
Mr. ? Sebborn, who lived across from us in Anderson St. He must have
been amongst the wealthiest in the Valley. Rumour was that he owned
fifty homes in the Valley. His M.O. was to put fifty pounds down as a
deposit and let the tenants pay them off for him. He was the resident

Hi everyone

Good to see Ross' input just recently. Thought I'd bring this little
piece of information to notice: Page 14 of The Courier-Mail of 27-28
September mentioned a cottage at 3 Lanham Street, Bowen Hills (between
O'Connell Tce and Campbell Street). Did anyone read it? The article
states that some 16 families have been known to reside there, the home
