Woods Lane

Can anybody remember the fair that used to come in the summer to the field in Woods Lane in the 1950s? It was the field where the Grove public house now stands. The fair used to come for a week, they used to have swing boats and it was very exciting for us kids, it was something to look forward to in the summer. Happy days.

RE: RE: Woods Lane

Hi Dave, Yes I remember the fair, was something to look forward to :-)
I also remember the lady (Mrs. Parker) who would chase us off for using the five-bar gate which was attached to her house to swing on! Long after the swingboats had left town :-))
