Parkwood springs

Hi Retep have I got it right but did Winston Kewish live in that castle shaped house,we used to go past it on a dirt path then down some wooden steps to a gennell to the road leading to the wide steps over the railway!.It was a handy short cut from Pickering Road saving a long walk round,am I right or what?.

Think Winston lived in the top flat of the big house (Rock House), it was split into three large flats, the castle house was in the little field at the back, the path led from Pickering to Wallace

was rock house the big house halfway up wallace rd on the left

Half way up Pickering left hand side, below the paper shop.

ok i was just trying to picture where it was. i was only a young lad then.i was born on wallace rd and lived with my parents at my grandad & gramma's house we later moved down to parkwood rd,at the bottom of the station steps,that led from the top of wallace rd.
