How about collecting firewood for bonfire night? we used to have a fire every year on owd bobs I think it was called, the field next to Gatty park/Milnshaw park. and collecting tadpoles from the pond at the bottom[/quote]

Yes it was Owd Bob's, used to live near Milnshaw Park when the old houses were there.
Used to be a field where the new the red brick houses are off Lupin Road. Had sheep in it, and geese. They would run at you every time you passed.

And the Burco factory down there. Used to be this window with bars, which was always open, where you could look down and watch the workers. Used to get told off for annoying them.

Anyone know anything about Owd Bob?
