[Restless]

Yes Restless, you already said

If its the same one he was always around ossy with the dog but he never did any harm to any one

Is that why the council removed the swings from Arden Hall?

In those days we used to always hang round in Ardenhall and listen to the Sunday chart rundown on a transistor radio.

As a kid I used to play up Oak Hill Park a lot, someone would shout Snowy's coming & we'd all leg it, we were all frightened of him but we never did see him!

Snowy used to walk his dog through Rhyddings Park in the 70s. The dude with the felt tips was known as Captain Rainbow, I believe. I think he has epilepsy and remember his death being reported in the Observer in the 80s or early 90s.

Back in early to mid 70's there was a bloke who's nick name was Snowy. Aged about 30ish and he had an alsation and he used to hang around with minors in the Ardenhall area and other areas - he also used to buy alcohol for us as a gang - anyone remember him? Got any details on him. Cheers

Snowy was a well-known genuine pedophile who hung out with kids on every estate he could get to. He used to come around to Milnshaw estate too. He's always had German Shepards.

Did he ever get convicted? I remember the rumours and was warned about him when I was a kid (I lived in the same area) but if he didn`t get convicted then it`s probably not right to put that on here.

that was were I witnessed my first ever game of "nervous"

I remember him always up Highams when we were playing football and sometimes at the Sports Centre swimming pool, my parents told me to stay well clear never understood why at the time, don't think he would last 2 minutes hanging around these days.
