I have lots of fond memories of Goldenhill, I was born in Cotton rd Sandyford, I had 5 brothers, 3 of them worked at Meakins pot bank and each lunch time I came home from school to pick up fresh butties that me mam made and i’de cycle of to Meakins and deliver the butties to my brothers who worked in various departments before returning home for my lunch before going back to school ! Sunday’s my mum and I along with my brother Norman (who only did a satchel full) would do a paper round, well my mum had so many papers to deliver that we used a pram to get them all in, I had a big satchel on my bike which I used to fill each time and the round would last about 3-4 hours, money was tight in those days so every penny helped, and that’s how I earned my pocket money ! I have memories of my dad taking me down towards line houses but he took me where the trains exited the Harecastle tunnel and he would sit me on the wall and keep hold of me as the train passed, then walk across the other side of the path and sometimes we would see a barge that had been walked through the canal tunnel, I remember the colour of the canal as orange ! Happy days
