When our kid and me were ready for school we’d lock up and took the key down to our mum and had breakfast with her in her lunch break.
Attarah, in you last pic. I remember the hill in the back ground leading up to the houses with no trees on the slope. I use to walk right passes those houses to play in the Clough and catch minnows, newts and frogs in the Mill lodge.
Thanks to everyone involved with recording what to me is a sad event.

John, the hill you refer to is Riley's Hill.(My mum still lives there)
I lived on that hill and Priestley Clough was where we played.
My Grandma and Grandad lived on Higher Antley St.
You may even have known my brothers.....Peter, Michael and Philip Duxbury.
