| Tank Square - but if this is 1929 where is the Great War Tank? It survived here until WW2 scrap drives. |

The correct name is the Gill and what a wondrous place for a child of 5 year old of the 1950s. I returned for the first time in 2014 and all the joy flooded back to me.I seem to remember we lived with Grandma in Union Lane and the in Sun Street. There was a huge mill pond at the foot of Sun Street great for rafts and canoes, and even more fun with a rope to swing on on the lamp post. The thing that shook me was the big tree on Gill Banks where I fell of a rope is still in use, tried to swing but far too heavy now. The Abattoir was up a lane just off the Gill I think. Another boring memory was playing in Uncle Vernies Mill, health and safety would have a fit now. We sued to ride up to the top on grain sacks on the hoists. I seem to be remember being taken on an otter hunt near Greenod and skipping school by sitting in the warm in Geldards Blacksmith shop. |
