Brown's Fields

The Viaduct c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

We knew this spot as Brown's Fields.  Farmer Brown had the dairy in Broad Street and used to drive his cows down the lane by the Lynch. In summer time we used to go down to the river to play and have picnics. In the winter time it was a great place to use your sledge.  We often used to sit inside big sacks and slide down the hill (hopefully missing the cow pats). In the summer we used to pick little wild strawberries off the viaduct. I'm sure we weren't supposed to go there but we never came to any harm.
