WHITFIELD AVE
An Observatory why ?
Whitfield Avenue yes an observatory on the Nab would be good says Jill whilst walking her horse up the Ave, one time temporary boyfriend Steve says “hmm” and remains unconvinced.
Anthony the ginger headed mechanic reckons it would be good for business and the Baron states ” Better than train spotting”
Paul Trev and Roy remain uncommitted to such a venture and reckon Glossop is not ready for this big leap into the future.
Paul the guitar, reposing at the barn says “yea man cool”
The twinnies on a break from football did not want to comment just yet as the ball had just broke the Nixons window.
The Thornleys dont wanna come out of hiding yet till the window is fixed and say cricket season is upon us so an observatory is irrelevant. William and James just like younger brother Fred remain skeptical.

Whitfield Avenue the place of my childhood
The best of times and the worst of times. But many many fond memories. Do the Kirks agree that Glossop should have an observatory built on the Nab. Would you use it ? Would any one from the Avenue be interested, what about you Mr P Walster or Anthony or The Baron.
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.

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.
