My mum often sits and talks about the old times when we lived on Cottingham Street. She always says what good neighbours we had. She's 89 now but still remembers everybody.

Yes it it good to see some of the old names on the site and it does

bring back some good memories, when I talk to my daughter about the

rec she does not know what I am on about

Can you remember the park keepers we used to have on the rec

I can remember the little one I think they called him frank but we were

all scared of him. A few have mentioned smiths what lived in the first jennel

I can remember the brothers I was always scared of them.

 

I think they used to frighten everyone

We her only talking about the rec keepers the other day, and I said we had one and we called him little man, and he used to scare all of us, could you imagine the kids today being scare of him.

Can you remember going up to the bumpers on the swings, and wasn't there some sand on another part accross from the rec

[alan1949]

Thats the one I was talking about I think they called him Frank

We was all scared of him and yes there were sandpits and monkey bars

he would always told you off if you went of the swings and you were to old

also can you remember the I think they called the slack hiils just over the railway

bridge we used to climb to the top of them and I think there was also a pond there

where we used to catch tadpoles.

Hello Diane

This is Ann Whiteley, Queenie is my mum, the aunty that lived on Ripon Street with Lily, she was married to my dad's brother. Think you are a bit younger than me, I'm 55 now. Your Kath is the same age as my brother John, he will be 59 in December, I think they were in the same class. I've got a photo of you, Anne Race and myself, think it was taken in our yard. Do you remember Steve and Anne Carey, they lived near you. Sorry to hear about your mum, my mum lives at Darnall but dad died 5 years ago.

It's great to hear from you after all these years.

Take care

Ann
