news from the front

By ghost of mensforth -
Noble knights of castle Kenton Bar...
I have utterly fantastic news!
We now know that there exist new colour images of the 8th wonder of the world, our beloved pyramid taken by Ryder staff in the 1970s...
We now know that there exists an article from the Northern Echo 1964 showing photo's of models of Kenton Bar Estate together with Sir Gordon Ryder and one Councillor Cuthbertson...
We now know where they are and how to get them thanks to kind and noble friends of the blog...
Needless to say I contacted the master immediately for orders and instructions, and his was in seventh heaven and ecstacy of joy...indeed the Noble Master himself is now also on the case, and has arrived back on these desolate shores of horrible England and is leaving no stone unturned,working tirelessly as am I your humble servant, the ghost of Mensforth to achieve our goal...
the die is cast, the lure is baited and now we can but wait oh my brothers, wait with fingers crossed with baited hooks...
All I can say now is...WATCH THIS SPACE!!!!

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
