The Plateau
photographed through the fence which now surrounds the field. I said it was no more but clearly it still is. It now has extensions to it, and seems closer, but maybe that's because I'm an octogenarian old man. When we were kids the plateau seemed miles away! I remember when I went to Kenton Comp and did PE Mr Lawrence would make us run up and down the plateau at the start of every PE lesson several times over. I began to hate the bloody plateau...
The plateau - in winter time became a great place to make a slide on. The right hand corner was a great curved shape and we used to repeatedly slide down it to make it slick. The nearby street lamps used to illuminate it almost all night - it was mental.
