Street names on Kenton Bar Estate

By El Patron -

The names of the streets on Kenton Bar are according to my sources as named follows – my research shows the origin of the names in the right hand column. Does anyone care to fill in the missing ones?

Incidentally, and I think it has been mentioned here before. Some jolly wag took a black marker pen and changed the street signs for Studdon Walk to “Stubbon Walk” – obviously the errant youth was an illiterate and hoped that it said “Stubborn”. It made me laugh every time I passed nonetheless.

Look at all the options for the name “Kenton”

    Did the architects have any influence on the street names?

    Studdon Walk was originally named Broomlee Walk but was renamed in 1969/early 70's

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.
