brian1941 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) ------------fulwood--cottage--homes------------- hi flyer------- THE CHAPEL YOU WENT TO-WAS NEXT TO THE SCHOOL THE SCHOOL NAME WAS MAYFIELD. THE SCHOOL IS STILL OPEN BUT I`VE NO IDEA HOW MANY GOES THE CHAPEL HOLDS ABOUT 100+ PEOPLE. I WENT IN THE CHAPEL AND THAT WAS MY FIRST TIME EVER AND I DID LIKE IT INSIDE. THE PASTOR < JONATHAN ) SAID THE SEAT`ING HAD BEEN DONE THE BUILDING AS BEEN THERE SINCE 1873-- AND THE PEOPLE THAT USE THE PLACE, SAID THE SEAT`ING WAS COLD--NOW CUSHIONED. HE SAID IF I`D CALLED IN LAST YEAR- I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE-- LOOKED ON THE BACK OFF THE SEATS AND SEEN LOADS OF NAMES. SOME HAD DEEP INITIALS AND NAMES CARVED ON THE BACK. << DID YOU MANAGE TO GET YOUR`S ON >> Edited April 28, 2009 by brian1941 ADD WORDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian1941 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 ----------- FULWOOD--COTTAGE--HOMES--1940/50------- -----------------THE--5th--OF--NOVEMBER----------------- BONFIRE NIGHT WAS HELD ON THE BIG PLAYING FIELD BEHIND THE SWINGS, SHEFFIELD CORPORATION WORKS DEPT PROVIDED US WITH PLENTY OF TIMBER FOR THE BONFIRE. THE STAFF-- GARDNER--AND THE JOINER PLAYED A BIG PART IN GIVING SCRAP WOOD, AND SOME KIND OUTSIDER EVEN BROUGHT SOME CAR TYRE`S. WORD WAS PASSED ON TO THE HOUSES THAT WE MEET UP ON THE FIELD AND THAT THE FIRE WILL BE LIT AROUND 6.00.PM-ISH. THE HOUSE MOTHER MADE SURE NO ONE WAS LEFT IN THE HOUSE ON LOCKING THE DOOR. WE CAUGHT UP WITH SOME LADS FROM OTHER HOUSES AND MADE-- OUR WAY DOWN ON THE FIELD. THE STAFF HAD LAID SOME TABLES OUT-WITH PLATES OF TOFFEE APPELS-- PARKING CAKE--BAKED SPUDS-- TOWARDS THE CELEBRA`TIONS OF GUY FAWKES. SOME OF THE MOTHERS WORKED ON THE GUY FAWKES AND I REMEMBER THE GARDNER << MR MARSHALL>> STACKING IT ON THE FIRE. THE FIRE WAS LIT AND IT WAS CAUTIONED OFF BY THICK ROPE THEY MADE US STAND WELL BACK AND WE WASN`T ALLOWED TO HANDLE ANY FIREWORKS. // BUT// WE DID GET THE EXEMP`TION OF HOLDING SPARK`LERS, ------//HEY// DIDN`T THEY LIGHT UP YOUR FACE AND THE EXPRESS`ION ON THOSE KIDS FACES. THE FIRE LIT THE SKIES AND YOU COULD SEE EVERYTHING AROUND YOU, EVEN THE FARM HOUSE IN THE NEXT FIELD. I WOULDN`T BE SURPRISED IF THE PEOPLE FROM LODGE MOOR HOSPITAL COULD SEE OUR GLOWING BONFIRE. IT WAS A WHOP`PING GREAT THING---- THE NEXT FEW DAYS-- YOU COULD STILL SEE THE FIRE SMOULDER`ING. // WELL// ANOTHER CRACKER OF A NIGHT TO REMEMBER-- KIDS HAPPY FACES--SPARK`LING--MEM`ORISE---------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
