North Anston. The Place Where I Was Born.

A Memory of North Anston.

My name is Ivan Richardson. I was born into the Original Mill Cottage in Mill Lane. My Father worked for Norman Bennett. When he left the Farm to go to Kiveton Wire Works. We had to get out of the Tied Cottage. We moved to Eastwood Avenue. I have many wonderful memories of North Anston.I attended the School down at the bottom of the Village near to the Railway Line.Sadly we left Anston in 1960,when I was 6. I have always had very fond memories of that place.

my name is John Wigmore. i lived in North Anston until 1974 when i was 22. i attended the junior school at the bottom of 'The Baulk' (1957-64) on Ryton Road before going to Dinnington Comp. I remember going with my Grandfather for walks in Stones Woods. i see the school has now been demolished and replaced by a new one (characterless!!). i too remember sledging down the slope next to the WMC on Main Street. so many memories of places and people long gone. if anyone knew me or if you just want to reminisce please contact me. jwigmore69@yahoo.com
