I can recall playing on ten town as a kid on my way to visit family who still lived on the Woodthorpe estate at that time. Although I'd been briefed that it was frequented by a rough lot!

but I survived.

Not bad when you consider that my forebears had escaped the deprivation of the 1920's slum clearances to live on the Woodthorpe estate where each house had it's own toilet.

Admittedly it was on the other side of the porch!
