I spotted this odd graffiti on top of a block of cube flats...... I wonder how they managed to get up there?...

    Go back and get a proper, clear, photograph. That is an order.

    I must say the the colour scheme of the flats is horrible now. In my recollection it used to be a high contrast colour scheme - like a giant licorice Allsort, the one that was square shaped with a black stripe in the middle

    In Rutters book there is one on p43(its black & white)...the underwindow panels were smart blue not white while the wall rendering was not this insipid colour-light grey I recall...3 horizontal white lines underscore the underwindow panels-long gone on this shumbling and cally specimen...disgraceful...restore her to her former glory councilmen...do it NOW!

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
