When I was young, my mother used to take me to the field at the top of Altham Road. In those days (the 50's) it was a large field before the houses were built. A lady named Gilder would bring her horse to the field to give the kids a ride round the large circular patch by the pylon.
I was born in1947, I went to the kindergarten on Uxbridge Road where a doctors surgery or medical centre is now I think. From there I attended Woodridings school until about 1955 then on to St John's school in Paines Lane.. Fond memories. John Walker.
