The corner wall in Cyrena/Rodwell was also a great place to hide went tormenting (knock down ginger - where the hell did that name come from) the people who lived upstairs to Hilda Perkins corner shop after she died.

The corner shop down the hill was run by the Robsons I think.

Hi Wardy

My mum stopped me swapping my Hopalong Cassidy watch for your skates with the worn out wheels, can't think why :)

Born and raised at no.16 Michael,Mike or Mick - I think I was the only kid with glasses, dad was a postman

The Robinsons, who lived in Heber Road, their back garden wall used to be the base for most of the kids games from cricket and football to runouts is now gone and 2 houses are there.

Another of Polish Stan's tricks was to just drive until he hit something then get out and go indoors.

I used to do saturday deliveries for Tommy Cornwall with a handcart and I remember the bloke who did the deals with your dad.

I remember that once Tommy Cornwall was pissed and drove down cyrena, turned right into rodwell on 2 wheels and dumped most of his load of oranges etc. in the road before disappearing - That started a bit of a feeding frenzy amongst the neighbours.

The only teachers I remember at Heber, apart from Heester, was mr.Ibotson and miss Rabbatts. Ibotson was a stamp collector and ran a sort of stamp club which I got banned from after knocking tea all over his collection. Miss Rabbatts got married somewhere in the Village, possibly St. Stephens. My dad alegedly threatened to punch Heester for accusing me of always being in trouble - good ole dad :))

Wardy did you once swap some roller skates for a watch ?
