I lived in Kemsley until 1970 when I left to get married. All the kids from the village played rounders and cricket together. We always built a huge bonfire for Guy Fawkes Night but it always got burned down, we always blamed one person but many years later the boy who had done it confessed to me! My mum Sheila Hermitage worked behind the bar at the club house, there was always a pint ready for my dad when he came off the late shift from the mill. Happy days.
