The Fields us Kids Used to Play On.

St Leonard's Church c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Many years ago, about 1951, us children myself and my brothers and our friends used to play on the fields where now Bilston Colledge is situated off the Wellington Roa in Bilston. We had such fun playing on those fields, running up and down the bonks, as us Bilstonians would say, and also jumping the rusty brook. If there is anybody out there who remembers those fields, let us know. I am also trying to find some of my friends from the past who attended Etheridge Girls School between 1947 to 1957, my maiden name was Bromley.

RE: RE: The Fields us Kids Used to Play On.

Just recently I visited an old school friend who I hadn't seen for fifty three years, she was my best friend at school, the school being Etheridge girls school. She came from a Gypsy family but they like to be called travellers, they were a lovely family who made me very welcome. Does anybody remember the travellers being in Queen Street in Bilston and the MIDLAND COUNTIES? Dairy was also there too. Let me know. Byee
