Park Follies

A Memory of Rochdale.

Although I lived in London I spent much of the summer holidays with my Auntie Mabel and Uncle Bill in Greenhill Avenue, Rochdale. I was 12 then and spent a lot of the time on Lenny Barn with the local children. The rest of the time I remember was at a nearby park which I suppose was Falinge Park where I watched the Park Follies. I remember there was an Uncle Cliff and Auntie Jean and some very glamorous (to my young eyes!) twins. I forget how much I paid to get in but it couldn't have been much.After I would go back to Greenhill Avenue and have a tea of toast and dripping and orange juice and soda water. Happy days! Mabel and Bill are no longer with us so I cannot share any memories with them. I have fond memories of Rochdale and if anybody remembers the Park Follies I would love to hear from them.
