loneranger46 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hi again Bob & Brenda. Yeah there are some good threads on here. Talking of the steel houses I knew Brenda and her family lived in one of them but didn't know which one. I used to live at top of black hill third house on right. Used to have great fun sledging down the hill when it snowed in the winter. hello deerlands remenber when we both fell asleep making hay at a farm in the village called DUNWORTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhill Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Sure do Brian. Remember when we all used to go to the farm, potato picking in Dungworth where your brother worked. What did we use to get 7 shillings and sixpence. Back breaking. On our way home we would buy fire works from Hillsborough corner. Them were the days.

blackhill Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hi Loneranger (Brian) Do you remember the games we used to play on Deerlands Ave. Hide and Seek tag, playing on the fields back of my house. We used to set up our own running races in the park. Brings back some great memories. Thinking of our friends. Bob Jennings, David (sadly passed) Brian and Dennis Farrell, Thompson girls, Eunice Jennings, Diane Hill. My late brother Dion, Georgie Parkin Gee I could go on and on.

mojo42 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Does anyone remember if there was ever going to be a swimming pool built on the site where the Rose Garden in Parson Cross park was constructed in the 50's/60's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhill Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I lived in Deerlands Ave from 1946 to 1966. At first the park was all corn fields. I never heard of a swimming pool being built. We used to go to Longley Park swimming pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhill Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) lived in Deerlands Ave from being born in1946 to getting married in 1966. When I was young the area now known as Parson Cross park was a cornfield. My friends and I used to love it when the hay had been cut. We used to have lots of fun. Then it was changed into a park. Can anyone remember when the field was changed to a park?. I'm sure it was still a cornfield when I attended Lindsay Road school. From nursery to leaving in 1957, to go to Southey Green school Edited June 22, 2019 by blackhill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lottiecass Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Most of px park was a tip, the Adlington rd side was a cornfield. The tip was my playground when I was young, I preferred it to the new park. I can remember the massive earth movers and en tout cas bulldozers levelling the two hills of earth one buchanan side, the other Lindsay side.I was sick when my den was knocked down.
