Concord Park Swings

[stevo]

Tara, you've prompted my memory. The swings were against the main road, opposite where our dentist used to have his local surgery. Was it called Wincobank Lane?

 

I spent many times walking trough Concord Park full of fear, on my way to the dentist.

The playground was next to the main road which is Shiregreen lane, just up from what used to be the English Steel Social Club which was on the other side of the road.

1977/1981 i use to live on the flower estate (daffodil rd) & frequently played up at concord park aswell as the park that was situated near the woods at the bottom of daffodil road anybody remember that?

I lived on daffodil road too, remember the park that was put on wincobank hill, just down from bluebell road at the top of the middle field.

it too had one of those cone shaped steel round abouts with the seats on, it was great. it used to smash your teeth in when you fell off backwards.

there was also some monkey bars that were ok but i remember hurting myself on the round about more. it was great.

Now you can't beat a bit of good old-fashioned discomfort.

Stevo,

I don't want to digress from the thread too much, but do you refer to Pawson the Dentist here? He was situated near to Concord Park Gates. I too remember fearful trips to his surgery for excruciating fillings.

Can't remember his name Tim. Fear does strange things to the mind! I remember their were plaster casts of peoples teeth on the waiting room window sill.
