MargieH 7,613 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 I've just written lots and lots to Banjo, Stephen, SueB and Compo in reply to their posts then couldn't post it!!! I'm feeling a bit cross about that so I'll do it again when I get back from holiday. In Paris at the moment but I don't think there's Internet access where we're going - in the middle of nowhere in France! Really appreciate your replying to my post about Woodthorpe, though x 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,613 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 #16 Banjo, I, too, played in the brickyard, but several years before you, and watched my big brother sledging on Breckhill Fields - bit too scary and even dangerous for a very little girl! I also remember being chased off the little trucks on the brickyard. On the day before my wedding at Mapperley Methodist in March 1966, I went to the brickyard and picked some pussy willow to decorate the church, along with daffs from our garden and 2 bunches of flag irises which I BOUGHT! We lived nearly opposite one of the entrances to Woodthorpe Park - by the postbox on Woodthorpe Drive - and, when I was little, I thought the park actually belonged to us because it was such a big part of my life. A gang of lads and lasses used to all congregate in the shelter near the swings when I was a teenager, dance to music from a portable record player and generally show off, as you do at that age! #17 Stephen, I never thought of Woodthorpe as classy when I was little, but as I grew older I realised that it probably was a bit! We were quite an ordinary family, though. # 21 Sue, I had a long term boyfriend who lived down Private Road - that was fairly near to St Jude's I think? #30 Compo, I don't think it was our house you stole washing from, you bad lad... It wouldn't have been mine anyway as I was living in Leicester by then. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
