Mal Hudson was the guy who jumped across the flats in Netherley on a motorbike.
BE NICE......................OR ELSE
So did John Taylor although I think he broke his leg or something. He was from Norris Green.

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.
My auntie lived in Peckmill Green , they were put there when Heyworth street was knocked down .. I used to spend some of my school holidays there , i thought it was the countryside ..
i lived in netherly fulshaw close in the flats it was great the people were friendly and it was safe to walk around why is everybody putting the place down it is worse now than it ever was

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.
The Netherley Nutters. I thought you were talking about my in-laws family from Brittage Brow then ha ha.
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.
