Shared Memories of Rawmarsh

  Year: 1960 Rosehill Park
Used to love playing in the park on the swings, in the Sandpitand just generally walking about.
Remember the Peacocks and other birds.
Remember the Holiday at Home Weeks? All started with the procession from Parkgate through Rawmarsh up to the park. Lots to do in the park, entertainment on the Bandstand.
There was also a similar procession on Bonfire Night. Everyone carried lit torches which were then thrown on the bonfire, in the park, to light it. This was then followed by fireworks. Oh it was great to be a child.... no worries.

  Year: 1960 rawmish crags
We used to go ont crags on nature rambles from Rosehill School.  At weekend it were our battlefield, we used firebrecks as trenches and fought WW2.  If we got beat we'd run tot roman banks and ambush others.

  Year: 1958 tylers field
I remember playing footie on Tylers field and taking my bow there and firing it.  The best time was when the fair came and we'd go ont gallopers ort dodgems.  We'd use slope by Mr Carr's cobblers to go ont sledges.  Now it's a housing estate and theers no weer fort kids to play.
