Charlestown Rd
A Memory of Glossop.
I remember being a young boy attending St Luke's school, playing marbles and football in the playground (about 20 a side I recall)! I lived near top end of Charlestown Road next door to my best friend David Stanton, my other friend Trevor lived over the road. There was a narrow walled path leading down to a bridge over the river and we used to make and ride bogeys down this path. hairy stuff!! Later we rode in luxury when my mun and dad bought me a red metal go-cart for Christmas, David used to sit on the front! Opposite, near Trevor's house, was a green gate leading to a wooded area and a field and we would build dens and wreck others, sorry if one was yours!! During school hols I would spend a lot of time with my Auntie Irene and Uncle Bill who lived on Spire Hollin. There were toads in the coal bunker, great for a young lad I can tell you! About half way down Charlestown Road on the left hand side on way down to the centre there was a post office/shop where my dad would take me to buy a toy as a treat. Happy days.
