Roman Road
A Memory of Failsworth.
I lived in Failsworth from 1953 to 1961. I lost contact with all of the friends I had then when we moved to Leicester in the Summer of 1961. Their names were Keith Barnett, Peter Rigby, Martyn Payne, Eric Hall, John Roberts, Roger Stafford, Kerry Gilder. Graham Birtles. I was a member of the 41st Oldham Cubs and Scout group and had great memories from those days with Norman Gray and Mr Bierman who were the Scoutmasters. We would all go to O'hara's chippy after the scout meeting finished. Brian O'hara was also one of the scouts as well as being a good boxer. There was a Youth Club at the Failsworth Methodist Church. I attended Stansfield Road Junior School and later Failsworth Boys, before moving to Ashton Tech. I also remember Jean Haigh, Katherine Howard, Pamela Bedford and Kay Darby. I remember Mr Eccleston, Mrs Murray and Mr Williams at Stansfield Road. My mother was a 'Dinner Lady' at Stansfield Road school. We would all play near to the 'Pigeon Pens' just off Roman Road near to Gas Street and I have great memories of those days. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers any of those names or places. Keith
