I walk Priestly Clough on a regular basis, and it looks nothing like the place I used to roam around for the school holidays. I also walked the path up to black rock, gone are the tarmac paths, and what was once called black rock is not there anymore, it was bulldozed away and spoil tipped over the edge. I walked it up to Millerfold Avenue and it was a disappointment from start to finish.
I do however use paths that were not there as I played as a scruffy kid, Woodnook Vale, Mill Lane, Castle Clough, all contributions from the millennium fund, so perhaps they will be there when todays kids start to reminisce as wrinklies. (I refer to myself)
