It brought back some good memories – the air siren going off at GKN / BJB was such a familiar sound walking home at lunchtime from All Saints School in the ‘50s when I lived on Rough Hills estate. Clive and myself are close to finishing our book on the All Saints neighbourhood but would still welcome p…[Read more]

How have you got on with your research into All Saints School?
You may already be aware that my book on Rough Hills and the neighbourhood eventually got published in 2018. It contains a chapter on the history of All Saints School as well as memories of the school in the 50s and 60s.
Clive Holes and myself are now writing a book…[Read more]

Just spotted this posting. It’s a while since I last visited the site.
I remember Joan with great affection. We went out together for almost two years but lost contact after I left the area.
I hope she is well.

Thank you for getting back to me with your own memories of Rough Hills and Dixon Street playing fields; 20 a side, jumpers for goals, that all sounds very familiar. When I last visited the area, it looked a lot smarter: more grass, more trees, fencing. It was a good place to grow up. I have fond memories of Durbeville Road on the way to…[Read more]
