[quote=K.S.H;364974]Spent loads of time on there when I was a kid, did there used to be some garages down there or was it huts on the pens i'm thinking of? there used to be a small terraced row down thee too, back of the printers and the pub, anyone remember the name of it? I only remember them being derelict but I remember jumping out of the upstairs window as the police were coming up the stairs

Bradshaw boy, has that name got anything to do with Bradshaw St?[/quote

yep - born and brought up in the little house on Bradshaw Street (actually a hovel really) 'til we moved up the hill to Bradshaw Street West (a slightly
bigger hovel)
The street was called Croft Street. There was a garage down the bottom of the slope opposite the row I lived on and huts in the pens. I bloke called Emile (Emil?) lived down the bottom of the Croft (as it was known) and kept geese in one of the pens I think.
