Crossgates In The 1950s And Early 1960s

A Memory of Crossgates.

I was born in a cottage (now demolished) next to the tenements behind the old co-op in the High Street next to Spring Hill Brae. We moved to our new council house at 4 Hillview Crescent around 1953. I of course attended Crossgates Primary until I went to Queen Anne. I left Crossgates in 1964 when we got a council house exchange to Gosport in Hampshire.

I have so many happy memories of Crossgates which I would not exchange for anything!

I have written a book for the purpose of my two children knowing about my childhood (which I recommend) everybody should do).
I would gladly pass this on to anyone who may be interested ( rather than me spending hours here).

The people that I can remember from this bygone year are (and forgive me if I have forgotten anyone) are:

Linda Wishart
June Robb
Mary Dall
Jessie Barclay
Fiona Gilchrist
Andrew Moore
John Dall
Jim Birrell
Eric Fairgreve
Colin Lister
James Simpson

I am not on Facebook, etc but you can contact me on "kenhunter8@sky.com or +447891612661.
I now live in Portugal but would love to hear from anyone who remembers me!
