Re: Prospect Place, Wells Road

Thanks Maureen, really sad to hear about Michael and his wife. Lots of memories

Kind regards, Alan.

Re: Prospect Place, Wells Road

Sorry Falkor to deviate away from your original thread "Prospect Place". Our back garden in Bradford road backed onto Prospect road. Sorry I can't help with Prospect place but just

Re: Prospect Place, Wells Road

Hi Maureen, Aha! I now have a good idea of which family you were part of. Michael would have been quite a bit older than me but I knew who he was as I had a real fascination for motor cycles as a child and seem to remember him on a motorbike? I can remember vividly drooling over the noisy machines g...

Re: John Logie Baird

Thanks Gordon, Your website reveals that we get to know a fair amount about a famous person's achievements, commercial success and their place in history but not very much about the person themselves or events of importance in their own life as a human being. We rarely get to know much at all of the...

Re: St Phillip's Infant School and St Barts junior school

Tim :lol: :lol: , I was probably trying to do Gathering Peascods and Picking up sticks, but both at the same time! :shock: No wonder I just couldn't get that country dancing quite right and just ended up treading on the other kids feet!

Re: St Phillip's Infant School and St Barts junior school

That's the dance in the video posted so obviously 'gathering' not 'picking', an indication of how much I hated being made to dance and probably treading on lots of feet in the process! :?

Re: St Phillip's Infant School and St Barts junior school

The 2 dances I remember were 'The Dashing White Seargent' and 'Picking up peasepods', they're the names as I remember them. We used to be marched down to the annex near cobbs corner to perform these country dances. Mrs Cowell was always there and I believe taught a class in the annex, thread has rem...
