Re: Memories....
Him indoors has been keeping up with the results of the Stanley (via our local paper which publishes these every Monday) and although he has been heartened by the way they have bounced back, he still thought they played at Peel Park, so it was a shock to discover they didn’t. No matter how many miles and years have come between him and his old haunts he still has fond memories.
Also surprised to see (from Google Maps) that the coal deposit area on Hambledon Hill, where he used to walk over when a lad and pick up pieces of coal to take to his uncle’s farm at the top of Sandy Lane, now has the A56 running across it (or so it appears to be).
He remembers High Riley’s farm (now High Riley’s Cottages apparently) where Oliver Cromwell was reputed to have stayed, but that was before our time of course – irrespective of what some people might think.
