I Don't Remember Much

A Memory of Wingate.

My father was manager of the colliery in Wingate until late 1952. I went to Wingate Primary School in 1951. Other notable pupils, not in my year, were the novelist Barry Unsworth and Geoff Caygill who I met in Hull where he was teaching science.

I too went to Wingate Primary about the same time 51/52.I remember waving through the classroom window to my Dad who was the school caretaker.He played football for Wingate Wanderers for years,even though he only had one arm(lost in WW2).I have a treasured photo of him scoring a wonderful header in the snow.We lived opposite the Fir Tree pub,before moving to Station Town.
