Duffers

A Memory of Throckley.

I remember when I was a young lad, playing down Johnnas Bank, we used to play Duffers "Dares", like jumping the widest part of the burn, seeing how many friends would fit on a swing and swing across the burn, sometimes the rope snapped. And we would dare each other to sit on the Devils Chair in the Low Dean, we used to climb and sit on the flat part, and someone would say "The Devil will get you", which was very frightening at such a young age but we had a good time. We also used to play football on the top end of Johnnas Bank near where the factories are now, and also we went to the old bomb hole to get tadpoles.
