Hi Robbo
Thanks for the welcome.
I did browse that site and came acroos those pics.Havalock street was my playground around 64/5 as its where a few of us urchins made it our race track,we used to get some wide boards and nail a piece of wood on the front of the board to act as an handrail,we would then wax the boards underneath with a candle and from the top of Havvy we were pushed down the street on the boards.
You had to have no sense to do this because at the bottom was a busy Nethy road and before you got to the bottom you rolled or jumped off the board or you'd end up having a relationship with a car or vans side.
Cheers.
