we lived in the 3rd block down from the top of foxhill avenue

there were some big families in those maisonettes

the womacks had seven kids in a 3 bed maisonette

 

what year did you go to yewlands ?

 

I was at Yewlands around 80-81 then we moved to Waterthorpe,and i then went to Westfield.My sisters Mandy and Adele and brother Julian also went to Yewlands.

 

You lived in the 3rd block down.Obviously you weren't as posh as us then.We was the top block.

Did you know Bernard? I think he had learning problems.He used to get his bits out all the time on the back-edge.

Can anyone remember the 'headless horseman' stories from back-edge at Foxhill?

The shops on Wolfe road were built in 1953, first was the co-op then co-op butcher, seperate shop same block, then Rastricks fruit & veg then Hadfields newsagents then Adams drapery then McGilfrey butcher and finally Dennis & Carmen Francis chippy.

 

I lived with my folks above the newsagents in Wolfe Road for a short time in the early '60s. The Hadfields were owners and also lived above one of the shops further down. We then moved onto Bradfield Road (see other threads). I was 13 or 14 at the time, there was a kid a liitle older who lived next door, but I'm struggling to recall his name. Suffered from asthma I think. Len and Doreen Hadfield had 2 sons, Robert and John and a daughter Leslie.

Does anyone know where the name Foxhill originated

 

I was told years ago it was because lots of foxes could be found on the hillside?
