WHITFIELD AVE
Happy Christmas Whitfield Ave, the place of my misspent youth, don’t be afraid to send a message.
Whitfield Avenue the place of my childhood
The best of times and the worst of times. But many many fond memories.
Did you have a gang, who was in it. The Kirks, Anthony Mathews, Ste Parker, Vince (aka the baron) Mark Power. Meeting at the planny gates. We thought we were dead hard, ask the kids from Whitfield park fire station houses. Lyn Waterhouse Jo Sparkes and her brother. Wonder if the green man ever found out who did a dump on his car.
Do you remember the car chase from Gamesley up onto Moorfield where we had a bit of a scrap.
What about the Barn? Yes Mr Walster we did think we were as good as Status Quo. Didn’t we once make our own rockets and a bomb and even had a disco at the barn.
Does Jill still ride her horse up and down the Ave. A couple of us had a bit of a crush didn’t we Ste.
Football and cricket the Murrays, Thornleys and the Twinnies remember do you in front of the Murrays house?
This is what the top of the Nab will look like. The new state of the art observatory.
Photo Gallery, feel free to add.

Drop a line if you have any photos you want to add.
Growing up on Whitfield Ave the best of times and the worst of times, but so many fond memories be good if any one could share.
