charliewag Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Before moving to Grenoside aged twelve, I lived on Wordsworth Rd, Eston near Middlesbrough. The houses on our side of the road backed onto a field which served as a football pitch and playing field for the local kids. Trouble was we shared this field with horses and sometimes a herd of bullocks which had a tendency to stampede making us kids scatter. Happy days indeed.

Fiat500 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Fairleigh (on the Manor). Loved it there. A semi with garden at front, side and back. Across was spare land that we called the 'plantation', a spare bit of land with plants fenced off by the council. My mum said she they used to use it as a giant playpen for toddlers until the police turned up. A neighbour had reported youths messing about in the 'plantation'. They turned up to find 3 years olds playing there 😆 I loved living there, lots of friends, trouble is we moved to Queen Mary Road when I was about 6, hated it, no friends. My mum said we moved there cos dad wanted to save a 'tanner' on rent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeG Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Stephen Hill Road, Crosspool. Some great cycle rides round Rivelin and through Lodgemoor and the woods to come out at the swingboats on the A57. Ladybower, Bamford, Hathersage not far away. Don't think I'd get far today - the number of cars on the road would put me off for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sovrappeso Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) Beer-off on the corner of John Street & Baron Street 1957 to 1959. We moved houses several times but the shop was the most memorable. Spoiler Spoiler I don't know what this spoiler nonsense is about. Edited May 31, 2022 by sovrappeso 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
