Lobley Hill

Hello to you all - Hi George, nice site.  I remember many of the photos and some of the streets from the guest book.  I went to Lobley Hill junior school back in the mid 50's, then on to what I think used to be the army barracks on the other side!!!  They kept us there until Hill Head was built.  Ye can tell I didn't pass the damned 11+!!  I still look back on that - it was a farce for 11 year olds to go through, who at that time didn't care one way or the other.

I last lived in 5 Redwood Gardens and with my parents moved to Canada in early 66.  I used to hang out with some well none boy's - John Jobey, John Lazenby and David Dale. And I asked - Rose Jordan who lived next door; to go out in 63 but she turned me down;  Yes, we were Bad'ns.  I lived on both sides of the hill but mostly the good old Coach Road side.  You know some of the stories we can tell about the Tip, Beggars Wood, All Saints Church and then some.  Well, I'd love to read more stuff from this guest book - you never know, we may have crossed paths.

                                              All the best, Terry
