My Child Hood Memory Malcolm Biggins
A Memory of Kingwood Common.
I was born in Keighley, West Yorkshire, April 13 1951. At home , 7 Owl St, just off Parson St, in a one up, one down, back to back house with a small yard to the front.
Keighley, in those days, was heavily into Engineering, with a number of these firms in a close proximity to home,
We were always "laking" (playing out) in the streets. Mam would say "carful when those "Black Shops" are finishing ". A 5 minute alarm would sound, as kids, we would have to stand on house door steps while a sea of dirty overalls and face's , clogs sparking would walk passed us. " Dalton Lane" which ran from Bradford Road to Worth Village was impossible to use the pavements with all these engineers going to the bus or train stations.
All gone now.
I moved away from Keighley 6 years ago, now in Filey, Best move ever.
