CONGLETON PARK
I remember being taken to Congleton Park and going on the big slide. I liked it most when it was so slippy, you fell off at the bottom. Now with Health & Safety the slide has disappeared, although there is a play area for children with more up-to-date equipment, there is nothing there like the big slide.

RE: RE: CONGLETON PARK
I spent many many hours in Congleton Park, playing on the very slide mentioned and on the swings and the roudabout, all very traditional apparatus of an English Town Park.. The park had so much more as well, I used to go on the River Dane in the rowing boats... health and saftey would not allow children out on the river these days, and the boats went years ago. There was also a 'putting greeen' I spent lots of my pocket money having a go on there. I think it may have been 9 or 12 holes. There was a little wooden hut, where you paid sixpence or maybe a shilling for a round on the circular green. I think my mother used to take me to the park when I was a baby/toddler, we lived very close to the park in Spring St, close to Bostocks coach depot. My visits to the park continued into my teenage years when I visited my grandmother who also lived just minutes away in Thomas St.
