My grand-parents lived on Chequers Row up until around 1985.

 

I was only 11 yrs old back in 1985 so my memory is a little vague.

 

Can anyone tell me if this block still remains? i know they demolished some so I'm not sure.

 

If I remember, Chequers would have been about 4 or 5 floors up? I can remember the BT yellow vans (Busby?) from the BT tower block just up the road.

 

Thanks

Shane

I used to live on Lord row. My mum used to work at the dog track that the block over looked. I remember waving to her from the bedroom window when she used to appear from the ground floor. That was around 1980.

I remember seeing that track on maps, but never saw it.

 

Does this ring a bell? I can't picture where abouts it was today. Is it that small industrial complex ?

[Plain Talker 11]

No, ash. the industrial complex is on the bottom of hyde park, at the end of the long low block that's now clad in red and cream. the dog-track was on the top end where the new housing is, on Manor oaks road.

is roughly where the dog track was, beside what was the 1960s "St johns" primary school that served the hyde park and wybourn area.

 

The newish red brick building surrounded by the metal fencing is what was the old St Johns, Park church vicarage which stood between the flats and the school.

My brother lived on Rowland Row during the 1970s flat number 124 or was it 134? Can't remeber which exactly, think it may have been the latter. It was the second row from the top of the tallest block. We used to watch the dog races from the kitchen balcony

Ah right, I was way out. I took some pictures around there in c.91 just as they were demolishing blocks, I'll did them out and see if I can spot from those.
