It was very hard to climb that bit because the ground just gave way beneath your feet. I remember a teacher from Peel Park telling me the reason no grass grew there was because us kids never gave it a chance!

Oh that brings back memories too. My Mother always used to go into town late on a Saturday to see what was on offer before they shut up shop. It was usually cherry and walnut slices and my dad hated walnuts!!
