It has got worse over the last few years, mainly with Youths and drugs.

The drug problem mainly started in High Green and worked it's way down to Chap.

 

I lived there 40 years.

I liked it that much, I spent time building a website. HERE

 

Thanks for the website - Its very very good! And really clear to read as well!

Thanks for that website link Viking. You've got bizarrely similar parallels with me .

 

My grandmother drove an overhead crane in the Tank Factory, and my Grandfather drove those Churchill tanks in the Army, whilst my Mother worked at Parramores (and I went back from school dinners after the hooter ) and my father was a moulder in a foundry too! Strange eh?

Both my Mother AND Father worked at Parramores at some time.

I worked at the "Tank factory" a lot later when it was Ransomes and Rapier (Excavators).

Small world T.

Nice website Viking, I lived on Westwood Rows when I was a lad. Some of my mates lived on Thorncliffe row. I trained as a moulder in the foundry at Newton Chambers, started there in 1964, probably knew some of your family.

Knew quite a few people who worked at Parramores and Charlton Ironworks.

Good people, happy days.
