Heeley Memories

[DUFFEMS]

hi duffems re hide &seek --kick can or deledo any thoughts???

 

Wasn't it something like "de allio", no idea how it's spelt but that's how we pronounced it.

We used to run off in all directions then try to get back to base by kicking the can?

Lots and lots of chlorine! I was something of a diver, loved that high board, till it wasn't high enough and dive off the viewing gallery, one slip would have been instant death!! I'd be in all Saturday morning from breakfast to dinnertime, crowd into those warm fiootbaths to get warm and get into competition for who could create the noisiest smelliest bubbles by flatulence, winner cleared the bath. Great days indeed do. Do the baths still exist?

 

Yes, they do. Just had a refit and still well-used. The rest of Broadfield Road is a desert, though. What used to be Express Dairy is now a few odd workshops, not a house in sight and the club folded in 1980.

I lived with my grandparents at the bottom of Chippinghouse road just up from Healey Bottom I was actually born there in 1948.

I went to Ann’s rd school and Low fields school for a short time (and I do remember the dreaded Mr Golding)

Does anyone remember anything at all about Milligan’s Mansions(spelling) on Woodseats Road and who lived there round about early 60s.
