Which makes it sound as if they're in our back garden, which they're not!

It actually says "no longer there thanks to Mrs ****** & son ****" which makes it sound even more like you've nicked em Garinda!

Lol, oh dear. l originally posted the full quote then realised l'd better not post my Mum's name. Then Park381 posted quoting me before l edited, quick pm later he too kindly edited my Mum's name out. Now it's happened again!

C'est la vie!

I do apologise Garinda. It never occured to me that you would object to the names being mentioned on here as you yourself had directed people to look at the photograph and the names were there large as life for all to see in the comment underneath, and the fact that you had posted the name Ernest Martin in full.

I shall edit my post and then if Park381 edits my quote in his they will not appear here at least but in order to prevent any possible future repetition perhaps you'd better ask for the names to be removed from the original website.

Unfortunately once something is on the net it's there for all the world to see and actually drawing people's attention to it gives the impression that you have no problems with the content.

I have

ossygobbin, you sure can, I must go through the old archives and see what I have, though I will struggle with knowing exactly where each photo may of been taken.

I hope the people, who will be involved in restoring rhyddings park take the time to look at some of the old photo's on ossygobbin's web site. There are some excellent photo's on there of what the park used to be like.

ossygobbin · 19-05-2005, 10:09

yap I seen them don't bother but if you really want to know there top of the park near the potting sheds opening on the right hand side on a bit you will see a path and there you are see what you think DON'T THINK I WOULD USE THEM

park381 · 19-05-2005, 10:15

The HBC website paints a pretty picture, think I'll go up again with camera and take a pic of these toilets

Did'nt think there were any cause they all use the bushes

If the toilets are as bad as you say, HBC should not be indicating on their website that there are toilets, very misleading don't you think.
