I got the following picture and notes from Jolyon Yates yesterday

Dear El Patron

Here is a brochure - or possibly a mock-up for a brochure. I’m not even entirely sure it’s for Kenton - but I suspect it is.

Interesting to read - it shows the development to be aspiring to better living standards.

    I noticed in the brochure they mention 'for adults:Open areas and parkland,Tennis'...I dont remember no tennis courts on Kenton Bar...also the 'public house' which was meant to be built up on the plaza by the shops sadly never was...:(

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.
