Devils Pond

To all the young 'ens of that era or anyone else - who remembers walking down and up the self beaten footpath behind the long established fish & chip shop opposite the old Heppinstall's general store (long since gone), to the Devils Pond to catch what we thought were Terrapines! Or catching frogs etc, and making home made carts to pull up 3 Boy Hill at the top of Ouzelwell or Pit Lane at the top of King Edward Street then free wheel down, usually out of control!

RE: RE: Devils Pond

I can remember Mrs. Heppinstall, she was lovely and had the best penny tray going!! I lived on Ouzelwell estate and used to go to Devil's Pond quite a lot as well and my mum and cousin worked at fish and chip shop on other side from Heppinstall's!
