Pednbrose Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 The land used to belong to Sheffield Coal Company, I think, and there was big red mounds of slag that kids used to slide down and ride bikes on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sultana Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Suede - have no idea why, but we always referred to it as "the bottom side", nothing derogatory intended as far as I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depoix Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 we used to play on them,did any body ever walk the full length of the tunnel that went from the red hills to almost the main road near the bowling alley ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffin4 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I lived just the other side of Richmond Park and frequently played on the red hills. I occasionally did a bit of chatting up there in later years too. I can remember the rare train coming in early in the morning and yes, I walked the tunnel on many occasions.
