One of our gang found an unexploded bomb in the tip - big story at the time.<br />We also played on the railway bankings near the bridge over Dowson Road and remember one lad slid down on a cardboard box just before a train came and ended up inches from the train lying under his cardboard box as the train thundered past.<br />At Redferns we used to play in the 'rubberdump' we used to make dens in the piles of reject rubber mats I rember a small hut that had engineers in it working on lathes. In the summer we would sit on the wall next to it the hut and chat with the men working in it. Also at Redferns there was a shed full of air raid equipment of gas masks and metal helmets which we plundered to play our war games and scaffolding up the side of the mill enabled us to climb up to the roof and play football the roof used to have Redferns written on it.
