Games We Used To Play

Do indeed Phil, trouble is I now want to know how far we used to walk alongside the brook over Hassop Road over Beeches Road and where then, was it the sandpits and beyond to St.Margarets where the toads were where you used to shoot at them with your webley? On another link you mention our unbelievable stupidity
(I call it risk taking) of playing on the ice in the sandpits quarry which we were warned by our teachers not to. A similar dice with death was the canal accessed down the Aldridge Road just past the allotments where we used to walk on the ice until we heard it crack and then we would dash back. That's probably why I can't win the lottery.
 
Hi Dimmy - I never got as far as St Margarets but played often in 'the woods' next to the school which were very boggy where we collected frog spawn etc. I did fall through some ice in that other marvelous big park we had namely 'Sutton Park' which has a big thread on the forum. I mentioned my 'ice mishap' in a post click/here.
