Looking down Occupation Road, Walsall Wood, towards Oak Park. Quantock Close would later be built where the fence is on the left. A great image from Dorothy Rudduck via David Evans.
Two more images from Dorothy Ruddock, that belong with the one featured here on Friday of Malcolm’s Mobile Shop – taken I think further up Occupation Road on the same day, and featuring the old School field before Quantock Close was built.
There’s no date given for these, but I think they must be late 1970s or early 80s when I remember we had a few really snowy winters.
I miss weather like this: wonder if we’ll get some this year?
Thanks to Dorothy and David for yet more wonderful images from the past – and if you remember those winters or this place, please do share your recollections. Comment here or mail me: BrownhillsBob at google mail dot com. Cheers.
These are photo`s that take me back Shire Oak School Rugby Pitch & A view of the whole length of Occupation Road ,When we used get winters with plenty snow .
i spent many happy hours on those Rugby pitches, maybe a little less snow of course but painful recollections of barefoot cross country a little less happy
Who remembers crawling under the (very bent ) metal gate opposite the bungalow to sledge down the slope on your mom’s tea tray ??? The same thing on a Saturday morning to watch “The Old Oaks Rugby Team ” play … Miss Granfield or Miss Davies sending us off round the perimeter on the dreaded cross country run … Who also ran up Occupation Rd in the dark because it seemed that the houses were watching you ..so eerie
Are there any photographs of the Cape in 1947.
