HI I LIVED ON THE GLEADLESS VALLEY FROM 1956 UNTIL 1967 FIRST ON BLACKSTOCK RD AND THEN MOVED TO GAUNT RD IN 1962. IT WAS A GREAT PLACE TO GROW UP WITH PLENTY OF GREENERY IN GRAVES PARK ETC.
I WENT TO GLEADLESS VALLEY SEC AND REMEMBER MOST OF THE
TEACHERS ROACH,HUGHES (HEAD),CLAYTON, SMEDLEY,PROCTOR(WITH HEARING AID)AND UPERDINE. IT WAS BRAND NEW WHEN I STARTED SADLEY IT IS NOW KNOCKED DOWN MADE WAY FOR LUXURY HOUSES.
AS FOR THE REST OF THE VALLEY WHEN I DRIVE THROUGH IT IS IN A STATE OF DECLINE WHAT WAS ONCE A SHOWPIECE HOUSING ESTATE, WERE VISITORS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD CAME TO VIEW IT IS BECOMING AN EYESORE WITH MANY HOUSES AND FLATS BEEN KNOCKED DOWN.
