broughts   10 #134 Posted April 4, 2009 Hello all, I lived at 71 Longley Avenue west corner of the Keyhole with Boynton road with my Granparents (Cottingham)family all through to being 28. I have many fond memories of all the kids who used to play in the keyhole. the Hammonds I still keep in touch with Steve, Maxine lacey, Julie walker,Mick Smedley,Lee Marshall,Darryl(Faz)Holland, the Carnells,Andrew Norcliffe who lived with his Auntie Mary. the kids used to come from all over to play until really late at night must have annoyed all the oldtimers immensely. Woe betide if the football went into Jud Walkers or Mr and Mrs Merrills pristine Gardens. The summer days were so long playing on the tip gone all day grass sledging on peices of cardboard that were strewn around in abundance. After tea you would wait for Yankee Boy to come for an icecream, remember the Specials small cornet with a little ice lolly sat on the top. the Icescream mans name was Don but cant recall his wifes name. What about the games British Bulldog,tiggy gaslamp, kickcan, tiggy off'nt ground,farmers wife and my favourite hide n seek using the top gaslamp as base. I do recall the bonfires the we had on the Bloominstocks back garden we used to put corregated sheets of asbestos on the fire to watch it explode into shrapnel peices that would fly everywhere it is a wonder someone was never killed. Were you one of them kids who spent the best years of your lives in the Keyhole. regards to all John.  I hung around and went to school with many of those guys you are talking about pal. Although I came from over the other side of Herries Rd the tip was always a majical place, always something different to do. I hung around with the likes of Pete Green, Robert(sefy) Devy, Bob Smith, Steve Pegg, Jimmy Holmes and Paul Carnall (still do) also Daz Holland who is a smashing fella and Steve Hollyhead. I remember all the dens we would make only to turn up the next day to find someone had raided us. Do you remember when Peggy got burnt, he still had the scares up to leaving school. I could go on all day, so many good times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

skippy   11 #136 Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) Who could forget egar Wallace, only spent 3 days at school one year, he spent all his time at a piggery on the Meadows, I saw him years later in the Sicey pub after they had moved over that way. Don't remember a Dave Stewart, but there was a bloke in that area that had a Talisman twin motorcycle, would that have been him. There was a bloke called Bedall who knocked about with a Terry Fletcher from Boynton, who was a couple of years older than me, I stand to be corrected if I'm wrong. What year did you leave school ?

skippy   11 #139 Posted April 5, 2009 Ha ha, the wellies had gone but he still looked the same, I left school a year after you, [1958] you must have known Terry Thompson, Cliff Cattell & May Wood. I visited Shirecliffe in 92, the majority of people I had known had moved away, it wasn't the same place I remembered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

skippy   11 #141 Posted April 6, 2009  May lived opposite me, Vincent Lindley sounds familiar, but I can't put a face to the name, I knew Cliff Rouse very well and worked with his brother in law and eldest sister when I first left school.
