sares67 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 oh my god, blast from the past Richard. Sarah Malone here. Rays lorry was so much fun. funny how thinking about it can bring back so many memories. back then when we all lived there it was so fab. never realised it at the time tho. its not the same anymore, never will be. seem to remember Pete being in a band years back called lasrevinu. is that right, rings a bell as remember it was universal spelt backwards. I have moved from sheffield and now live in barlborough. but am sad to say that my children will never have the kind of childhood that we had. was so free and so much fun. everyone knew everyone and the sun always seemed to shine. Hi Chris, how are you? not been on here for so long. only looked today out of curiousity. hope you well. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Chris, how are you? not been on here for so long. only looked today out of curiousity. hope you well. xx Hi Sarah You and Sean were quite young when I left. I can still remember the pair of you flying around the front grass on wings I'm sure I can remember breaking one of your bikes when you were about 4 I nearly was your baby sitter too; but your mom picked Stephen Hill & Rob Crocker as they were a couple of years older than me I've been reading the posts and having a great laugh to myself. It really is something that people who aren't from Gleadless Valley can understand so it's difficult to share the memories with your nearest & dearest I always look for your dad's entries in the Star letters page - he's good isn't he? The photos are interesting too I often pull up outside Slack's on a Saturday and stop and watch the block for a few minutes - I was there last Saturday. Nobody ever seems to be about though I don't know why I do it - old habits I guess I wish I'd been on last year when you all went out - Laurie would not have been the eldest then!!!!!!! My brother - yes he is still singing!! His latest band 'The Wild Cats' played at the Boardwalk 2 weeks ago How strange you living at Barlborough - I'm at South Anston! PS Chris appears to be the mortar that binds the brickwork of these threads - don't lose him!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gejroberts Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 That would be the 'Bean' then, played many a game of footy on there Hiya, I was in the John O gaunt last weekend and got talking to a couple of locals about the 'Bean' I'm interested in finding out more.

gejroberts Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I remember the "sandy bit", as we called the playground, being built, it was bean shaped and later it became known as "the bean" (or "beyn" as we would have pronounced it!) just next to the 8th hole on the golf course I think, that area with the fields and the woods were great for playing on for kids.
