Hi,did anyone on here live on the Birley Estate 1950s/early 60s.I lived on Birley Moor Drive opposite the Farm.Some names i remember are Mick Bailey,Mick Deakin,Trevor Haw,Anne Wragg,Carole Burberry,Pat Riley,Rod McClennan. Derek Parton Who unfortunately died in a fire,some years ago.Keith Brammeld who i still see around.

It would be good if some of these Mates were still around & got in touch.

Hi Palman,I knew Quite a few of the names you mentioned,but they were all younger than me.I used to go around with Keith Brameld,who is Dougs older Brother.George Lupton lived just down the road from us on Birley moor Way.When we first went to live up there (1952) the School didn't exist,it was a field full of cows.Janet Aldis's Father was the Water board man for the area,they lived on Thornbridge Road.I remember Don Mayo,who ufotunately died

a few years ago,I dont think he was that old either.
