The Good Old Days

I lived in Streethouse but when I was 4 we moved to the newish estate at the top of the 'Knob' (North Featherstone). We lived at 49 Manor Drive, next door to the Simkins. My dad was a miner at Sharlston and Snydale collieries. We moved to 23, Leatham Park Road in Purston, sometime in the 1950s. I went to Purston C of E, then South Featherstone Secondary Modern, old mates were Tim Rhodes, Len Saunders, Mo Oldfield, Lynne Jackson, Judith Parker, and many more, what good days they were, we had a fabulous Rugby team.
