Oh, Sony is it? you must know him well; I've always called him Mr. Legs. Do you think he's a friend of Zipper's then?

Many thanks to Zipper for posting these pics,
Having left school in 1951, I am familiar with the time that many of the pics were taken.
Thanks

Hi, you are best quoting the post number (ie-#918740 ) as different people have different page lengths and people with good eyesight using their mobile phones have even more pages.
Ps, Zipper says, Cheers :-)

Thanks for posting the picture in #918493, I can still remember the smell of Hot doughnuts, candy floss and Chain Oil (off the chaine on the figure of eight) as you passed the palmists in the background and headed up the slope towards the higher level of the Tower Grounds. The only other place that had a similar smell was the old floral pavilian end enterance to Wilkies indoor fair before they converted that end into an arcade.

Gorsedale Road School entrance when I was a nipper. The Dinner Lady or was it a Teacher? used to lock the gate at lunch time and when I got back a few minutes early I used to climb and sit on top of the wall where the ivy is. The darker bricks stick out a bit and made it easier to climb. Still the same old gate for over 50 years? or so. The caretaker had the house on the left.

Dave

Just found it was called Cinder Lane from 1888-1913 on this map, the lower one.
