I went to our local one (Gerard Gardens) last Oct and it sold out in a week with unfortunately others who couldn't get a ticket and the facebook group set up is just 40 short of 1000 members. I wonder if Brian Daley will make this as an ex resident.

RE: Garston Tennies. I never lived in them but often knocked around them. I remember just before they were to be knocked down, there were very few residents left in them, so we decided to play in the lifts. We all decided to pile in one with our bikes and see what happened, we were about 10 at the time. As the doors closed, the lights went out. I'll never forget us screaming and shouting for which seemed like ages.

Imagine our relief when the doors finally opened, we were greeted by a lovely old lady who informed us that the lift was broke.

I looked at this posting and my heart actually skipped a beat, I would have loved to be able to come but, unfortunately, I have a whole raft of test's and medical examinations going on at the moment. I can't wander too far, I get paged to go and get,scanned ,probed and mri'd. But gee,I would have loved to be able to go there. Can anyone pass on my apologies?Or,better yet take along my photo and ask if anyone remembers this kid from 1955? I hope that all who attend have a wonderful time, I'll look forward to reading about it,

Lifts eh - posh or what. I don't think the Gerard Gardens ones worked for more than 10 years after being installed in 1950.

Brian,
I was wondering if you'd be going or not.
It's a pity you can't make it.
I hope anyone off here who is going, takes along your tales of growing up around there along with them.

"Lifts"!!! Not in my time Kev! I was there from 1939 until 1950! no lifts then, where did they put them? And like Brian, I too am unable to attend (But would have liked to) too far for me to travel!!!
