This is a nice one of a Ryder and Yates split level a la Hazeldene Avenue
Hi – I got this from Jolyon Yates a week or two ago – enigmatically the email was entitled “Spot the flying saucer”. The picture is of the split level type housing at the top of Hazeldene Avenue and a very fine picture it is too. However, I think this is at St. Cuthbert’s Green and not Kenton Bar.
Can YOU spot the flying saucer?
Yes, it looks like St. Cuthberts.
ReplyDeleteNo, I can't see a flying saucer.
Flying saucer:11 o'clock to the left of the tree?...or is is sitting on top of the lampost?...
ReplyDeletewhatever, a wonderful photo thank you master and Jolyon...incidently note the 'play' steps are made of wood:all 'play' apparatus on kenton bar was concrete and metal, never wood...if it had of been, ruffians from down the bottom would have sawn it off for bonfire wood hmmmm...
Note also the beautiful summer sky we used to have back in those dim dark distant days...at that time we had autumn, winter, spring, summer...now we have autumn,winter and................................ cloudmer...global warming?...PAH!!
ReplyDeleteWonder what the white fence and black gate visible were about?...these split levels obviously have their own garden just like the T1a's on Kenton Bar, but whats this extra bit about I wonder?...
ReplyDeleteIt is the back of a T2 at right angles. The play structure is still there after a fashion.

ReplyDeletewelcome to this blog...if you trouble to take the time to see all posts on the blog you will find the answer to your question...
As an aside, Lowbiggin had some play structures made of wood, I can distinctly remember a kind of fort formed by a spiral arrangement of telegraph pole size wood (diameter, not height!)
