Afternoon Drive To Visit The Mast And Enjoy The View.
A Memory of Holmfirth.
Not too sure of the year; visiting my grandad and granny Haywood who lived up South Lane. As a child it was an adventure to go out in grandad's Morris Minor, it had a nodding dog in the back window. My grandparents had invited some neighbours to come out with us, a Mr and Mrs Charlesworth. I remember us taking a flask of tea, some cake, deck chairs and a car blanket - I wondered where we were going. All in the car ready for the off...ten minutes later we arrived at the Holme Moss television mast, sat on the car blanket eating a slice of cake - home made mmmmmm.. I do remember feeling a bit bored but that's what was classed as a day out, enjoying the view. Would kids do that now?

Comments & Feedback
My name is Robert Davies and I was born in the Holme Valley Mem. Hosp. in 1943. For four years I lived in South Lane but much lower down than you where Back Lane joined South Lane.
My Granny Lockwood eventually moved up to a council bungalow at Cindrhills.
I remember Derek and Margaret Haywood - and a girl called Meg who lived above the Quarry - and many other kids who lived in Cinderhills.
After 4 years in South Lane we - my younger brother John - moved up to Cliff - and went to Wooldale school.
I've just found this website and seen Judith's entry - and added my own comments.
Take care. Robert.
