Elusive Bollard Found!

By ghost of mensforth -

I found it and claim the biscuit from the master!
'A bollard improvised by filling a grey section ofPVC plastic pipe and then imbedding it in the ground'
Located at the top of Ryal Walk-the only one left on the estate...?

    Must be faster next time - consequently you are rewarded a "Rich Tea" biscuit which are neither rich nor do they contain tea so why the name? I found the bollard in less than 5 minutes on google earth and I don;t even live in the damned country anymore.

    Spotted this on streetview when looking for T2 bin sheds, more pipe than the photo suggests.

kenton bar football team 1974-75

Here is a photo I found during more extensive research in a library... I remember the football team played for the 'Bagnall Cup' and played 'derbys' v St Cuthbert’s and also v Mountfield, North Fawdon, Wyndham, Montague and Snow Street (we and everyone else always thrashed Snow Street at least 12-0-their home pitch was at an angle of 45 degrees...) Note the' flag pennants' which were inspired by the Leeds United strip from the 1973-74 season on the socks of some of the kids in the front row...these had the numbers of the players on. the 10 first team players are all wearing the blue top with yellow hoop:the' subs' are wearing... whatever! It looks like they must have won the Bagnall cup that year! Anyone recognise themselves or any of the players?... (The tecka is Mr Brownlaw, a true gentleman...) PS:Photo not taken at Kenton bar school-note the basketball net-maybe taken at Kenton school?...) Kenton Bar Pyramid Appreciation Society

Name the cup. Name the year.   I know one of them - far right hand side, Machiavellian smile, lizard eyes, domed stupid melon hair - Phil Leaver.  He once played for Newcastle United.
