Millers Pond

A Memory of Shirley.

I remember walking from Fir Tree Gardens on Shrublands Estate to Millers Pond with our jam jars and fishing nets , we also had a youth Club on the Estate I worked Saturdays in the Hairdressers in the parade of shops it was called Jan Terase, I think the pub was called The Goat, I had friends in Laurel Crescent, the Askews , mum was Margaret she had daughter Diane and son Michael, my school friend was Mary Casselden, Michelle who also lived in Fir Tree Gardens, the Wright family who emigrated to Australia in the 60's, we had such fun in those days roaming around the Estate, when the snow came the grass banks in and around Fir Tree Gardens were used as ski slopes although we used trays to slide on, mums would have cups of tea together while us children played it was a very friendly place to live in those days. Can anyone relate to these memories be lovely to hear from you.
