Willow Crescent

A Memory of Padgate.

The next turning on the right is Willow Crescent (I think it's a cul-de-sac now) if that's how you spell it. Yep, this is where I grew up, we had 1 bus, the 81 Dam Lane. If I remember right it used to turn up every hour (with no digital display as well). I had some good times and some bad, but more good. If only we could turn the clocks back, eh. I remember the local bobby dragging me home by the ear because I was riding my bike on the footpath. What a vandal I was, ha! We used to jump over the brook which was at the bottom of our garden and sneak into the L.C.C. Depot, shhhh don't tell my dad. Them were the days. Anyway I think that will do me for now. It was nice seeing Green Lane as it was even though it ain't changed that much. If you can find any photos of Padgate walking day or St Oswald's that would be really great, around 1960, 61, 62, 63 ,64. Cheers.

Comments & Feedback

Wonderful to see Green Lane again. I was at RAF Padgate in 1955/56 and had a girlfriend called Marjorie Creamer who lived in Green Lane. Her dad was called Arnold and she had a brother called Malcolm. The family were incredibly good to me at that time - unfortunately the romance fizzled out after I was demobbed but I often wonder about this lovely family. My memories at Padgate are nothing but good and happily am still in contact with a couple of the guys.
