stevie1957 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 My wife tells me that when tentown was finished it was officially opened by Wilfred Bramball of Steptoe and Son fame. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee40 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I remember ten town well.It was at the bottom of woodrove ave opposite the fields.Only went in a couple of times but my older sister was often there with her mates.Used to serve the manor kids and woodthorpe kids.Stopped them getting bored.All changed round there now.My family all still live round there. Often pass the place where it was.Lots of new houses on manor now and woodthorpe shops are a mess.Went to woodthorpe school.Oh the memories, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creaghan Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 HI Kirky I remember Ten Town, I'm not sure that if it were built now that it would be given the all clear by health and safty!! it was a littly bit risky. unfortunatly for me I was from over by richmond park ( the otherside of the College) so it was a little bit dangerous for me to use ten town."might have had my head kicked in by some of the manor locals "you Know the Minchers lived just around the corner" Ha Ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
