I grew up living in Kingwood Road in the flats, firstly the last block 25a then when I was 5yrs to the first block 1f,which hold most of my memories.
We would as kids in the street roller skate,play hopscotch,stretch our skipping ropes across the road to the other side so a group of us girls could jump in and out the boys would play football down the centre of the road,we would sit on the pavement playing Jack's or making French skipping out of elastic bands,two balls would bang away on the outside walls of the flats annoying the neighbours or we would just play chase in and out the flats,there would hardly any cars using the road in fact at one time my dad had the only van as he was a painter and decorator.
Each day in the summer would be spent playing in the street or at the Rec or in Bishops Park sand pit or paddling pool.
Bonfire night the whole street would turn out to share fireworks and food and we would all have a Guy to burn on the big bonfire at the end of the road,our rivals would have been the kids in Wyfold Street round the corner,very happy days in the 60,s as a kid growing up much freedom was given and each family would look out for the kids playing out.
