Does.anybody remember it? It used to be next to the grammar school it had some scary rides there

As I recall . As youngsters we used to call them the high flyer, low flyer,tea pot lid. Hobby horse,& of coarse the swings it really was a nice park the council sold the land to the high school I think,they called it progress Mmm...

Certainly can, but no family photos of the park. Remember all the rides.

Was there also one called the 'Lollipop'?

Pictures of similar rides found on the www:-

Am I right in saying that in the 50s-60s there was also a Bowling Green, that we, as kids, weren't allowed to use. 

As you mention it I think there was with a pavilion were the bowlers congregated...

Eggy brilliant photos there was a lollipop ride there as you can see the photo of the high flyer is scary no council in the

Land would have one them in there parks mind you health & safety didn't exist then..if you hurt yourself then your mum

Would spit on a hanky then wipe the blood of now the parents would sue,sad really ......

I remember it well, Tony. Me and Jimmy Hunter went on the High Flyer and the challenge was to get high enough to see over to Blyth.

Was there a 'crab' apple tree nearby? I remember being ill after eating some!
