Fishing In Hawhill Park Duck Pond In 1955
A Memory of Normanton.
The 10 year old boy in the photo is me. I was fishing for sticklebacks. I remember a man pointing a camera at me. I lived at 62 Castleford Road opposite the library which is at the edge of the park. My father Jack, and my uncle Geoff ran M.E Wood & Sons bike shop on Wakefield Road opposite the bus shelter. I left Normanton in 1961 at age 17 when my mother remarried to live in Ferrybridge until I was 26 - then emigrated to Australia as a '10 pound pom'. I now live on Russell Island in Morton Bay South East Queensland. PS. the bike shop is now a Hardware shop.
