Say cooee to the T3 or “Electric House”

By El Patron -
There were a lot of these houses from top to bottom of the estate. They were ALWAYS oriented in a East-West axis – god knows why…. The peculiar thing about these houses is that they were all electric i.e. no gas. Even the heating was electric and indeed they had under floor heating certainly downstairs. I am not sure about upstairs. 1 bedroom was on the ground floor which is a little odd to say the least. One of the upper rooms is marked ‘s’ – does this mean study or storage?
Well that’s it for now folks – if anyone has floor plans for the other types of houses then please send them.

    If it's a T5, why does it say T3 in big letters?

    Well, we need to be when you talk shite! They are *not* all East-West, there are two rows just below Byrness Close that are North-South.

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.
