Pretoria & Earle Street

A Memory of Featherstone.

I was born in No 6 Pretoria Street in 1944 remember playing 'touch & pass' on cinders at top of the street near Ossies field. Fred Perry, Terry Jepson, Jud Gray, Les Lockett, Jud Watton & many more. We were always hanging round Welfare & down Green Lane. I remember swimming in the Resser. Went to Gordon Street, also remember John Kearsley & most of the other teachers; Eric Batten was head teacher. My mother used to clean Green Lane Club on a Sunday morning. I have very happy memories of my life round the Welfare.
