There's a picture(s) of the Clarry somewhere on the WW site, sure I saw it a while back.
It was the first place a lot of us 50's-born Belle Green Laners ever ever went ice-sksting in the big freeze about 1962. It was where where me and me mates first tried a 'mucky-dadda'...with mixed results. We managed to perfect it a winter or two later on Langdale Avenue, sliding down from Bowness Place. Wellies were more suitable than ice skates for mucky-dadda-ing, I've always thought.
