I was brightside/wincobank side of hill. we played football on what we called top field off jenkin road. we knocked about at reservoir at top of hill and now again walked down hill from there and played football on what we called Jimmy childs now and again. that would have been mid to late 80s tho. i remember gun stands on wincobank hill behind what is now ridge view housing estate.
