TonyRevitt Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I used to live at 89 The Circle from 1947 till about 1951, my Father had an old ex WD Ford painted red delivering fruit and veg around the Manor and Littledale estates, there was anther identicle truck operated by a Mr Potter from Newhall Road and a guy with a horse and cart whos name I forget. It was very friendly competition, we all had diferent hours and we did Fairfax Road and all those parallel while the horse and cart guy did all the roads at right angles, it was easier for his horse as those raods were flatter. I went to Pipworth from 1947 to 48, when I passed my 11+ I think there was only three of us passed that year, a lad called Redfern and my first and unrequited secret love Barbara Hibberd who lived in a private house on POW road, it was rumored that her family used cutlery. In the spring of 1948, one of the kids from Pipworth was coming out at lunch time and decided to hitch a lift on a passing truck, as the truck picked up speed he fell off and it ran over his legs, a couple of weeks later I ended up in the next bed at the Childrens Hospital with appendicitis. The Manor then was a law abiding lovely place to live, we had country next door, the fields that ran all the way down to Attercliffe, up to the Manor House and down to Wyborne, then there were the woods behind Pipworth that went on forever. The fields became The Littledale Estate and the woods were opencast mines and a concrete mixing operation. We used to walk from The Circle to Ford and you hardly had to use any roads. The only names I can remember were the Ogleys our neighbours I remeber when we moved in they were already in the house with a cup of tea mashed with a welcome. I had a particular friend who lived on Harbourugh Ave, their garden backed onto ours his name was Tony Etches, his Dad was a Fishmonger. When I was living in the USA I came over on Holiday to show my wife where I had lived, we saw on the TV that night that the Police had declared it a no go area, I can't beleive they are the progeny of all the good decent hardworking people that I knew in that area, maybe ignorance is bliss and age begets cynicism.

Am I thinking of the same Annette? I remember all these names but it was a long time ago, just that some names and some faces I seem to remember but putting the two together might be more difficult.
