I loved our park and was there every spare minute. Apart from all the exploring, we had swings, slide, ranty, and paddling pool, tennis courts and a massive duck pond where I took my own children. When I was 9 years old I practically sliced my big toe off on a bottle and lost so much blood, it was stitched back on though at Clayton hospital. I'm so sad that our great market was demolished and I so love the large historical buildings.
