Re: Owd Pastimes
Used to play hopscotch......Knock and run.....Diabolo......that was a funny toy that you used to spin on string and toss in the air and catch(if you were good).....whip and top.....used to buy coloured chalk from the paper shop for three pence and put patterns on the tops to make 'em jazzy. Marbles, conkers......and all the games had a 'season' and no one seemed to say it is time to play hopscotch.....or skipping or whatever but we all used to change at the same time.
We used to build 'dens' in Priestley Clough too.....we would spend hours collecting old bits of lino or carpet and broken stools or chairs......aaaah those were the days!
