Childhood Memories

A Memory of Horsforth.

Sorry, will start agian - yes it does bring back memories, all these old photoes. As a child I lived in Back Lane, the house attached to my grandfathers Blacksmiths Shop. At the age of 5 - 1952 - I used to walk up Town Street to St.Margaret's Church National Infants School, headmistress Mrs Driskel, then in the Junior School Head was Mr.Sharp, then to Featherbank which was a Secondary school then, till 1959 when we were transferred to Benton Park Secondary School, - During the last few days I have been looking at some old School Group photos, and trying to remember some names. This year in Feb. was home and spent quite a lot of time in Town Street, remembering where all the old shops used to be and who they belonged to - Quite enjoyed my trip down Memory Lane - hope a few more people enjoy it the same as I......Perhaps there is still someone in Horsforth that might remember me from those days ......Rgds.

I grew up at the Back Lane Blacksmiths and my parents still live there. The anvil is still sat there but hasn't been used in a bit
