Charnwood Forest 1959

A Memory of Woodhouse Eaves.

My name is Carl Wilkinson and I was born in 1954 and up until I was 14 I suffered from very bad Asthma my doctor said I had a church organ in my chest that was out of tune, so I was sent there I think in 1959 for the better air there was there, it had to be better than the air in Edwards lane, Nottingham, I can not remember how I got there as my Dad did not have a car at that time, and I don't know how long I was there for it would be interesting if there was any record I could find this out.

When I left school at 15 I was lucky to get a job in the mine as I was told that if I still had Asthma I would not have got to work underground, I do have a few photo's of Woodhouse Eaves from 1954 if you would like to have them FREE send me an Email to ;;

And I would gladly Email them to you I think one of the song at the time in the chart was How Much is that doggy in the window as some of the staff would sing it and the song Gilly o golly,
and one of the songs we all sang in the play ground was the Big Ship Sail On The Aly-Aly hoe excuse my spelling .

All the best Carl.
