we lived here in the last 70.s. we lived in that corner newshop/post office. it was called forboys then. mrs lines was a lovely happy lady who I remember worked with my parents. I remember going to the infant school at the top of the road opposite the bigger school ( samual loyds maybe? ). going to play down in the wessy and catching tadpoles in the stream in the woods. but my best memory was playing on the trains left in the wessy by the steel works. playing curby outside our shop, my dad revering into the garage one night in his triumph 2000 tc. mark freelands living in the road opposite our shop. paul and david living round the corner in the cul-der-sack. putting my action men into their vehicle and tying them to the back of my bike with some string and riding round the pavements. god I really did like living here even though it was for just a short while.
