Good Old Days..

A Memory of Haslington.

I lived in Haslington from 1943 to approximately 1954, it was a great place for a child to grow up. I lived in Cross Rd and my G'ma lived in Fields Rd. I remember the Post Office and Haberdashery next to it, also the Smithy across the road. I could be gone across the fields all day and my family would not have to worry about me. The golf course and surrounding fields were a great place to be, with the stream down below. We were warned not to go to the Dingle when the gypsies were camping there, and I remember the gypsy women coming door to door selling wooden clothes pins etc. I used to go to Sunday School and church regularly, I was also in the Brownies at Crewe Green. I have many fond memories of Haslington and Haslington Primary School. I live in the US now but come home every year and still come to Haslington to see some oldies but goodies!!
