I went to Kingsmead Secondary School 1996-2001. It was exhilarating exploring the locked up ruins of the old outdoor pool next to our school. I loved imagining the fun and memories of past customers and wished we'd been able to experience it in its glory days. It was disintegrating and dangerous and we were young and stupid. The reconstruction of my imagined accident airing on the old programme 999 kept me out in later years, before it was torn down and replaced by restaurant car park.

I'm actually asking if anyone has any Memories , or knows of any stories about the Crown and Horseshoes in the 1930s . I'm writing the 'story' of our Family History and would love to hear anything at all about The Crown and Horseshoes during this time . If anyone knows anything about the old lady thought to Haunt the Pub , that would be wonderful too ! Thank you, Sally

Leaving school at 14 I worked at BERCO,s factory in Queens ...see more
