My Youth

A Memory of Bradford.

I was born on the Haworth Road estate and in my childhood roamed all over the district. Chellow Dene was a particular favourite especially in winter when it froze over! Sandy Lane park was another place we visited to go on the swings and slide. Any one remember 6 days only by Heaton Woods and the nettle drink shop? Only time I visit Bradford these days is sadly to attend funerals of old pals. What a dump Bradford has become, I now live in Blackpool, not too bad a place, not perfect but better than Bradford by miles. Derek Fordham.
