Re: The area I grew up in. Woodnook

I grew up on Riley's Hill...went to the Wesley Methodist Church and sunday school.......can remember many of the places being talked about..... a lot of them were where we played out.
I remember Rev Wenter, and the Mc Cartney family......my dear old Gran used to come over from Sheffield and would stop off to have a glass of beer in the Star....and another on in the Britt....and was half kettled by the time she got to our house.

Ma still lives on Riley's Hill.
