Martyn 303 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 I was born on Ainsley Estate in 1950, went to Robert Shaw, Peoples College Secondary Technical School and when that closed down to Sea School then to sea at age 16 coming back to the estate when on leave. I came across this site and read the postings and recognized a lot of names. I can answer at least one of the questions. The bonfire at New Bridge did not just appear it was made of trees cut down fromTadpole Lane and Bluebell Woods, towed back along Beachdale Road tied to the back of a bike, along with card board boxes taken at night from the back of the CO-OP. The boys in charge would then build it, making a den in the middle. All good clean fun and in the scheme of things relatively legal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Did the Falconbridge boy mentioned some time ago have a scar on his forehead? He was reputed to have climbed over the railings on to the mainline, and was hit by a Jubilee locomotive. Zanzibar I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
