That's the one Albert, and if you didn't get many chips it wasn't me that served you. I was always getting a b********g for giving too many. But that's me to a fault always giving too much.

I may as well have some whilstI'm there. ' Use to get Three Pence worth to share between us all, With two slices of bread about one inch thick, I was soon filled up !! '.

Thirty years since I was on the Manor, I went back once about 17 years ago and it nearly broke my heart. The Manor I knew died a long time ago and I have no wish to go back, what's your impression of it ; then and now. I don't know whether the chippie is still there, it was just a hope.

I'll take Photographs and post them so anyone can take copies as memento's. (& realise that I'm useless behind the lens!!). J. Boldock1_h. For a quickie - Is the last block of Three Houses on the left hand side, at the bottom, (School end) of Windy House Lane still standing? Visit delayed due to visibility not being clear - Probably go Thursday or when its fine next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the Google earth tip and I'll do that. Looking back on days living on the Manor. We were mostly stoney broke but somehow we were happy.
