I went to those dances too from being about 13, so 1956/57 - ish, they were good fun.

I don't remember a Raymond on Percy St. The only Raymond I knew was my eldest brother.

i grew up next door to the hare and hounds pub in west end my dad used to sing elvis in hare most weekends.the used to be pens at the back the where i used to go feed the goats chickens and horses. always went with our nets and a bucket in the summer time to try catch little sticklebacks on the canal that was just down the lane

it was a nice place to grow up for 10 years. the park was great it had the biggest slide and the fastest round a bout and a big field i spent most of my days on there no worrys. then moved on to percy street a street down side of the daisey dairy used to camp out on the fields at the top and go in the closed down dairy when secruity man wernt watching there was always something to do if not on park in dairy or on fields we on the lodge skimming in stones and looking for tadpoles and frogs then climb the trees in bluebell wood as i typed i relise i had a great child hood in west end good memories that will stay with me a long time
