Re: Monkey steps
Used to use the monkey steps to deliver papers every morning and night. Delivered for Sugdens on Plantation St and had one paper to Dr McGloughlins? just before Oakhill park gates. Don,t ask me how I remembered his name after 55 years. Didn,t the path come out on Sandy Lane by the "air raid" shelter?

Just been smiling to myself as to how things change. This thread was started in 2004 and mentions using the Monkey Steps as a quick way to the college. Of course that doesnt apply now, because the main college entrance is now just around the corner, past the entrance to the steps and in on Broad Oak Road. Also the Hargreaves Arms pub was mentioned. This of course is now known as Grant's.

The "air raid shelter" as I remember, was at the fork in the road at the top of Adalaide st. as the road branched left in to Sandy Lane, the right branch going to the Monkey steps.
