The lady's in the kitchen would give you a drink if you asked...

I used to love that bird.<br />As my Nan lived on Bennett Street in Newton we spent a lot of time in the park. Used to love the ice lollies from the Bayley Hall shop - Lord Toffinghams and Count Dracula lollies were my favourites, or the Teddy Bear lollies that the Meschias ice cream van sold.<br />I have many happy memories from days in the park.Hydonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723686770197717456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-28470348235326311522011-02-08T12:17:10.289+00:002011-02-08T12:17:10.289+00:00Gerald, Anon is correct with where it was.
Anon, ...Gerald, Anon is correct with where it was. <br />Anon, the last time I was in there the 'Castle' as we all called it was still there... The woods as seen quite a bit of work in the last few years. <br />I'd almost forgot the rabbits, and the Aviary. There was a Minor Bird in the Aviary, and I can still recall a tune it did. My cousin John Mcguire had a liking for this bird and one day the chance came as the keeper had not locked up the aviary. He sneaked in and had it away. It made the papers of course as the bird was very popular.. and as such one of his neighbours reported him... he'd had the bird about a month by then... anyhow one day the police turned up and John let the bird fly off... the police saw the empty cage and realised what he'd done. He was taken to Hyde police station for questioning. The bird was later handed into the police, John was still denying anything to do with having the bird, until a bobby walked in with the bird in a cage, sat it in front of John and it said "Give us a toffee John, Give us a toffee John"... ha! He was charge and went to court, he never forgive the bird for 'grassing' on him.... ha! Apart from the tune and different whistle and calls it made it could still be heard to say "Give us a toffee John" for as long as it were there.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-66344000914115769022011-02-08T10:01:06.562+00:002011-02-08T10:01:06.562+00:00Gerald, it was opposite the swing park if you look...Gerald, it was opposite the swing park if you look on goggle earth you can see the outline as there is a seperate play area that shows the boundry - Tom I thought I was going mad last time I was in Hyde park as I could remember the train but there is no trace of it at all, thought I had made it up - Many happy days playing in the pool and in the woods - is the "castle" still in the woods?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-41023111527647595392011-02-08T08:54:09.092+00:002011-02-08T08:54:09.092+00:00whereabouts was this poolwhereabouts was this poolGerald (SK14)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18308693910074268386noreply@blogger.com
