Who, what, when, where, why?

I wonder how the architect felt about the pyry and all her intricate design features being decimated then erradicated after what, 30 odd years?When exactly was the pyry demolished? What did they do with it ? ... Can you imagine if you had designed this wonderful thing, this mecca, this utopia of socialist paradise... only for it to be erased from the face of the Earth...who was this architect, hmmm?Was he still alive when it was tolchecked (smashed) down?...I demand we find out more of him...This man deserves RECOGNITION!!!!

    He wore glasses and a dark suit, probably in his thirties. (in 1969, so long retired now).

    He may even have worked for the City Architects Department down at the T Dan Smith Memorial Council House.

    I worked out that Ted was 45 when I met him. Not tnat kids can tell ages of adults very well, they are either classed to be parent's age or wrinklies.

    I can remember thinking that 30 was ancient in my early twenties.

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.
