When I first attended Huncoat school at the age of seven, the teacher supposedly said "this is a new starter called Michael Hadfield, he is a tad shy so I want you all to look after him; I have been known as Taddy ever since, to those who are left from my own age group. (sadly diminishing).  |
I lived in Huncoat till '57....I remember Benny's sweet shop and getting the telegraph pink from newsagents for footie results. Other names I remember, Martin Whittaker, Bridget Swales, Jimmy Bowker, Sheila Goulding, Ray Bicombe. I used to play alot in Bluebell woods and up towards the canal. It sounds like when I started at Woodnook in '61 you were almost in your final year. I too played in the football team
