Lyndhurst Estate - 1960s: My family was re-homed to the Lyndhurst in the winter of 1960 (fair amoiunt of snow and ice around) from Heaton St., Hockley and not long before we moved a well-meaning elderley friend built me a sledge. The first real chance to use it came shortly after our move (not many snowy hills in Hockley), it was a solidly built craftsman's effort but therein lay the problem - it was far too heavy, with skinny runners, and it just sank into the snow. Until it was built-on there was a great slope at the side of Harlech Tower (The 16 story block), Ah happy Days!.................
