i often visit the site. it is like looking back into the past. i often look at the picture of leyland park of the old band stand. near it is some sort of pond. it use to be a paddling pool with roses growing around it.i had many happy childhood memories playing on park, getting chased by roy the park keeper, climbing on green shed, hedge diving, playing on monkey bars. the park use to flood every winter at bottom near eckersley ave. we use to slide on it when it froze over. i miss it

Wonderful site; enjoy it thoroughly.

Debbie GAYNOR (Walls) left a message on guestbook re name of Walls in Victoria Rd. Platt Bridge. I do not know how to reply to that, (still a learner) I am from Neville St. Platt Bridge, used to have a sly pint in Ches. Walls as it was called locally Commercial Inn, and went to school with Dorothy Walls, and knew her brother Jimmy Walls, Dorothy married Derek Greenwood from Neville St, is this the same family?? If it is Dorothy now living in Eastbourne, Sussex. hope it helps, cheers Wallace Price
