Will that include The Beagle and Golden Palace.

 

Why not? Depends who bought The Beagle in the latest auction.

If it's one of the Stantons.....

The surname sounds vaguely familiar, the two girls who used to knock about with us were, Elsie Watson & June Cromwell. Nearly all the kids about my age, I was born 1932, used to congregate in the circle at the top end of Masters Rd.

ahh i remember now.its just up from the old hillards supermarket in barnsley road. the only time i was that end of deerlands was when we was on our bikes back in the early 80's going down the 7 fields from alan ponds garage-having a quick look for the odd chopper or grifter bike dumped in the stream on the way to the end-great times

John Mayor is the one in the middle,I believe his mum,Hilda,has recently passed away.

 

Sorry to hear that

I last met John around 5 years ago the last time I was back in the UK

Where the stream went under Barnlsley Rd, next to The Huntsman, you could ride a small bike through it. We you to stop half way for a fag, and watch the earwigs fall down off the roof when a bus went over the top!!

Has anything wonderful happened to Deerlands Mount? I used to live there from around 1963 to 1977. I attended Mansel then went on to Yewlands. Beginning to feel a tad sad at all of this looking back on the past - but it has to be done!
