Parkwood springs

[kevcookie]

I remember going round the back to Bakers shop (was only little so can be excused for being served first!), the play ground, castle house, the ponies that were kept up there once many of the houses were demolished. Even now I get a quiver when we drive past the bridge which was the entrance to such a fab place!

I lived on Pickering Road between 61 and 64.

 

I lived at 1/1 back of 33 Pickering Road - my surname was Heeley. I went to Sunday School at the Methodist Church at the bottom of the Pickering/corner of Wallace Road. In fact my cousin was the last person to get married there before the church closed.

 

My auntie, uncle and cousin lived at the top of Pickering Road, No 100 - names of Nellie, George and Maureen Sargent.

 

The people I remember from that time are: Anita D'Bachua, Evelyn Astill, Linda France, Carol Wakelin, Eric Boocock, John Bryer, Pauline Matthews, David Christian.

 

I new all these people, went to school with them, Hillfoot and then Chaucer.

I lived on Wallace Road No 143 (David Loxley)

There was also a young lad turned up at the mill he and his mate were drowned at Leppings, and his body had floated into the mill shuttle, will type it up and put it on at some time.

 

Whitey was here yesterday.

Hi,

 

My mum and dads familes lived on Parkwood Springs. I was christened in the methodist church and my Nan lived in the big house at the end of Pickering road.

 

Familes names were the White (Dad) and DeAbaitua (Mum is Anita), Whites have the demolition firm A.White (Aaron White was my great grandad). My Mums first house was on Vale Road im 40 now so only have faint memories, one being at the Park at the top of Parkwood Springs. Mum's family were all called Taylors.
