    Isn't that the one that they said was modelled on a 'Cornish fishing village' design ! ?

    Also, the Queens Rd estate (off Breck rd) was supposedly designed after a Swedish style

    - - or it was the other way around - I think it was the Radcliffe that was the 'Cornish village' ha! it does make you laugh they were terrible ugly estates.

    So did John Taylor although I think he broke his leg or something. He was from Norris Green.

    Default errrm

    I lived in both Netherley and Belle vale flats. Middlemass hey in the early 70's and Dauntsey walk in Belle vale late 70's and it never effected me did it ? well it did a bit, did it ? well maybe... you are talking to the monitor again, oh I am arn't I, stop it... no.

    I suppose when your six/seven you just sort of accept the place for what it was and find as many places to have fun as possible. Now, when you reminisce, It's always rose coloured glasses anyway. That said in reality it was squalor and no way for human beings to live.

    By the way Eddie Kidd jumped those flats too, or was supposed too, in the 80's opposite where the kids new footy fields are now. I dont remember seeing him do it, I'd found out about ladies by then, and one day I'm going to catch on of em.

    Does anyone remember the Netherley Nutters? They were a band who went around pubs collecting for charity in the 1970s. There must have been twenty or thirty of them with side drums, accordions, concertinas, kazoos, combs and paper, spoons and whatever else was playable. They would turn up, play a few tunes, go around with the hat and move on.

    Good one! Although I never lived in Netherley, I knew quite a few people who did. I went to night school at Netherley Comp and got an English 'O' Level, went to the Radio Doom doscos, joind the Netherley Anti Nazi League and the Writers Workshop, watched some amateur plays at the Community Centre and sometimes went for a pint with my dad when he went to meet his mates at the British Legion. It was a lively place in the 70s.

    Skellington fold! I wonder who dreams up these names and how much they get paid for them.
