Just hanging around

Cast your minds back to 1980 – were you let out to play at Hobson’s Adventure playground in Cromwell Road?

Ricky Clark, the boy standing on the ground, would dial 999 almost 36 years later at 2am and got me as his paramedic. This chance encounter led to a reunion with his mates in a derelict house in Cromwell Road whichwill feature in my forth coming book Reunions.

And notice the six inch nail sticking out of the wood in the picture above!

Do you have memories of this time at the playground? As always, get in touch via www.chrisporsz.com
