The Rec

A Memory of Little Sutton.

From Berwick Road School, several classes would be assembled in a long line two by two and walk the half mile or so along Heath Lane to the recreation ground, or the Rec as it was called, for school games. We would pass the houses of school mates David Griffiths, David Anchor, Heather Wallis, Denise Southey and Loraine Staton. The line of pupils would regularly come to a halt and Steve Owen would call out "Its a hold up!" before being suitably admonished by Mrs Kerfoot. That little area of green field, shelter, swings and seesaw was the centre of the universe for most kids in those days.
