I think everybody was happy to have their photo taken but I expect it was a bit of a shock to some

I remember the Arkles - the boys were both really good footballers. We used to go for a kick about and they were always thereYou couldn't get the ball back once they had it. Happy times !!! Also a couple of doors away from them were the Phillipsons. Ronnie and I went to school together.

If anyone has any old photographs of Barrington could they please upload them. I have copied most that are on the site already (very interesting) but love to see more. Thanks!!!

I used to know quite a lot of people living in this Row as I used to deliver newspapers for Mr Ward from Scotland Gate all around Barrington.

I was friends with a girl who used to live in one of the houses at the end of Office Row... Her name was Hilda Arris.. her father was Bob, I believe.I think the other house was occupied by a Mr Cook, who used to train the pit ponies. The building to the left in the photo was stables. Barrington school used to play their home matches on this pitch. The building behind the goalposts was the pavilion.

I remember Mr Hunt.. He used to run the football team as well. I left this school in 1953 though. My brother Alvin may have been there in 1959

I'm in the front row on the left (Edwin Adey) seems as though I have a habit of being in the front row on the leftas I was in the same position in the football team photo.

I used to live in Double Row - number 24 (Adey) and my grandma lived in number 15 (Hutchinson)

Thats me !!! (Edwin Adey). Used to play left wing. I'm in that school football team photo. Front row, first left,. Edwin Adey
