    The lower feature is more likely a childrens slide although I don't remember one in this position - it may have been taken away by the time I was old enough to venture up to the top of the estate. Certain places around the estate had childrens slide and a few swings. The slides were built on mounds like this one not as free standing items. This one is in Fawley Green (or Beal Green) I can never remember which one is upper and lower - need to look at a map. The slide is the thin structure in the centre of the mound.

    It is so much a shame that the photo is blurred though...However the ramp is totally visible to the right of the pyry..a slight shadow is cast by the step pyry at the shops, one of only 3 step pyry's I think...

    Nice. I await the holy grail, the one showing the cascade in full spout.

    (& the Engineer in me wants to see the inner sanctum, the subterranean pump chamber).

    Seeing those curving swathes of garages reminds me of riding on the builder's dumpers...

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.
