What do you remember about the place/s you lived in as a child?

Mexborough I’ve already said I don’t know any thing about. Huddersfield I grew up in with its double-decker trolley buses covering many routes all round the town – and usually running on time, or more or less! – and large parks where we would play, roller skate, play tennis and have a circus every year as well as children’s model train rides. We lived 3 miles out of town, uphill all the way which was a begger on your bike when it was wet and/or windy. In fact, in the Pennines, there were hills all around and we loved it. We lived in a 3-bedroom detached house with quite a big garden which backed on to a bowling green with tennis courts just past the next house down from us. About one mile up the road the trolley bus route stopped but we could get a bus, or walk/ride another two/three miles up onto the moors to a place called Nont Sarah’s and thereafter wander over the moors and swim in a tarn up there – brrrr most of the time. Gad, you had to be tough!!! Across the road from our house was what I think had been an old recreation area (The Rec.) where we spent many happy times, climbing the rocks, hide and seek, etc.
