On The Manor TV Series From the 80s

[Janette1169]

Anyone remember the TV series On The Manor made by Yorkshire TV in the 80s.

Did you live on the manor during the making of this series?

 

If so what and who do you remember from it?

Troggy with his wheelbarrow full of wood, the kids fishing, A guy cycling down prince on his way to work (Who would get copper from houses due to be demolished). People removing slates. Pigeon keeper.

oh old "troggy" i remember him walking down fretson rd with his wheelbarrow with a reg plate saying troggy 1.he had a 6/8ft plank of wood across the barrow & would walk down the middle of the rd with the bus behind him with the driver ranting and raving and troggy laughing his sox off.

troggy had a terrible life his parents used to make him sleep in the coalhouse and take all his benefits,

i remember he was allowed to sleep in the old garage at the back of the manor hotel,he had amattress and a bedside cabinet with an old broke telephone at the side.he thought he was in a 5* hotel

i remember one of the regulars brian mangle asking him to get him some worms for fishing and old troggy came walking in the pub with a barrow load of muck and tipped it out worms an all in the front bar.

i used to say to him troggs if u want to come in here tonight you best have a bath and there hed be at 7pm clean as a button:hihi:

i also remember he collected so much wood at the back of the pub and was gutted when the landlord took it all to the magnet pub for their bonfire because someone at southey had set fire to it early.

troggy went bollistic.

god i thought he had died poor b*:)gger

[roughy101]

I remember he had a girlfriend,she bled him dry and when he had nothing left she didnt want to know him .he used to go and shout outside her house if he had money she let him in if not she called the police and had him locked up.

many many people took advantage of troggs including the well known drug dealers (but thats another story).

One man who did look after troggy was the postmaster terry??
