I bought a new house in clough wood view in 1969,and built some gate posts with grind stones set in them and they are still there .I worked id that area most of my life,I used to go to the shoulder of mutton with Ken and Sylvia and knew Cyril at the travs.I used to be good friends with Harry Hill up jawbones hill and looked after his milking machine,I had many happy times in my 15 yrs there but looking at it now iwouldnt go back its not the place it was.

I'm sure I must know you, when did you leave Clough Wood View?

It's still OK but there's far too many new comers that think they own the

place.

Drove on there today to the mother-in-laws, I saw the stone grinding wheels

you spoke of. The people who maybe bought off you also had bikes, always

dress in black leather.

So as the neighbours got rid of one biker, they acquired another two.:hihi:
