Nobody more than me.. I can assure you of that ..

And Nobody is doing more than me to make sure Eldon Grove will not be forgotten..
Eldon Grove is my heritage... the place my dad played as a boy...
next to the street where my dad was born..
It is over the road from where I live and it is steeped in my family history..

Edited... the place I played as well as a boy...
I played footy there plenty of times with my mates.

And... the area my grandad played as a boy..
he was born just off Eldon Grove as well.

I am the last person anywhere that would want to sabotage and ruin
a thread about Eldon Grove...

Eldon Grove is me... and my family before me.....





The arrow on the left points to the actual Dutch Cottage my dad was born in on Arley St in 1919..
my cous reckons it was in one of them right opposite The Non Pareil


My grandad, my dads dad, was born in Gildart Gardens where the other arrow is..


Thats just a small bit of info about my immediate family around Eldon Grove..
I had cousins who lived in the area.. I have cousins still in the immediate area..
and I had family that actually lived in Eldon Grove dwellings..

Me ruin a thread on Eldon Grove ?...
sorry, never in million years would I do that..

And here you are starting it up again ?
I'm sure that the men on here are quite capable of speaking up for themselves , they don't need a shop Stewart !
Again this site is run and owned by Kev , who incidentally Kev , it would be nice if you were to intervene now and again by way of moderation .

Good to see you standing up for order and reason on this occasion, Pennylane!

I suspect, however, that you’ve arrived in the middle of the latest tantrum and have rather rushed to judgment here. Did you really work your way through all the stages of the escalation that went on here? - I can’t say I can really blame you if you didn’t though!

I certainly would accept that I am not best placed to play the role of peacemaker where this person is concerned, but I should like you and others to understand that my intervention was certainly not intended to ‘start it up again’, but rather to re-direct on to myself the free-flowing aggression that was already apparent and beginning to fasten on one convenient target after another. If you don’t believe me, just look at the record… unless it’s already been rewritten!

You must remember that on a previous but quite recent occasion, when I sat back and did nothing, two members were goaded into losing their tempers and replying in kind. By drawing the hostility on to myself, I believe a similar situation was avoided as I was determined not to be drawn into hostilities. As a result there was no need for the Thread to be pulled.

Lets get back to Eldon Grove.

It's a bloody shame the way its been left. A work colleague of mine who lives oppposite says its always on fire!

Sent from the back of Michael Caine's Mini Cooper S, holding on for dear life......

I first remember it being on fire about 1995/6 when the students were in there. I lived in O'Connell Road then.

This historic building, which was officially opened by the Countess of Derby in 1912.

Eldon Grove Labourers Dwellings opened in June 1912 and was constructed in an attractive ‘Tudor’ style of brick walls and blue and grey slate roofs.

Summer Seat just around the corner from Eldon Grove,built in around the same time but in much better condition. This makes me believe people should never be housed in flats or tenaments.I speak from experience as I lived my first 20 years in one
Admittedly tenaments did produce good neighbours.

Summer Seat 2008 and 1910. Wonderful Houses.

Bevington Street ( Opposite Eldon Grove ) 2008 and 1913.
