A Memory of Moresby Parks.

As a boy I lived at 108 Moresby Parks with my family. I was from a large family, 4 brothers and one sister. We moved there in 1976 to 2006, it was a wonderful place to live and still is today. My childhood memories are of playing rugby and football on the square by the shop. Going over parks looking for bird nests and making camps down woods. As we got older we played rugby for MRUFC, we had some good times in there ha and still do when I get a pass out off the wife. I met some good friends in Moresby, some good families lived there. The Carrs, Lowerys, Richardsons, Simpsons, Quinns, Dougans, Rudds, Robinsons, Callans, Flemings, Mossops, Wrens, Jeffreys...sorry if I missed anyone out. My sister still lives on Moresby now. I moved to lowca, my brother Andrew lives there too, Mark and Garry moved to Kells and Shaun moved to Fletchertown, Carlisle. My mam and dad moved to Bridgefoot but my mam got cancer and died in 2007. My dad moved from Bridgefoot to Hensingham but died also in 2011. One day I hope to move back to Moresby and relive the good old days with my family now.
Many regards,
Carl Hetherington
