Hyde Park flats

[bladegirl34]

I don't remember the Samuel Plimsoll pub having the climbing frame outside it. there was a play area a bit further over, nearer the old church. could that be it?

 

The Target pub, on the biggest block, had a climbing frame and play area nearby. In fact, as I type, I'm looking at a "shweeeet" photo of my stepsons, from 1984/5 taken of the boys, infant school-age, sitting on top of the tube-y thing you could crawl through (In the days when it was safe to crawl through it!!) with the flats behind them.

 

i remember the slide near the church yard it was made of concreate i fell of it and cut my mouth open

My sister lived on reubens row, so as a young teen i use to hang out there around 81 - 85. They were good fdriends with mexican des (bless him) & used Sue s shop on the tick on a daily basis. Never had to have there name put in the window though.

I remember hearing about the girl who had the TV land on her & many other jumpers but never saw anything gruesome myself.

Oh the memories!

 

I was brought up on Broomhill flats like gez so understand the problems of living in high rise inner city flats, but to a young child there was so much exploring to do.

I lived on the Hyde Park flats for a while.....43 Dacre Row I think. I well remember the tv going over the side and landing on a little girl, dont remember the ants but my place was riddled with silver fish. Those 'garchey' systems in the kitchen sinks were forever clogging up. I hear now that they are demolished and went into filling in the hole in the road.....best place for them.
