[polly]

Walked all the way from Fielding Lane to St Pauls in Ossy almost every day for 3 or 4 years and loved it.
First of there was the natural beauty and stillness of the park, especially early morning and then delight of delights fully formed adventure playground in the shape of Bush Meadow Street which at that time was derelict and awaiting demolition.
These empty properties were our early morning playground, no floor boards, free ranging rats the size of cats, broken glass and the odd tramp, such fun.
Of course school and parents always lectured us about not going near the old houses but we ignored them.
