A Wonderful Artist - A Call to Action Fellow Kenton Bar Freaks!!

By El Patron -

I was contacted recently by David Bilbrough, a very talented artist. See the photo below. Well….. David is about to put on an exhibition on Kenton Bar Estate which will showcase his work alongside the original work done by Ryder & Yates when designing and building the estate. David is calling for people who currently live on the estate to help him with a small but important project.

David would like to: -

Conduct some interviews with people who live on the estate - residents young and old, short term or long term. he wants to hear thoughts and so on about who the estate has changed over the years

He would like to get some copies of any personal archive images that people may have of life on the estate

He would like it if people currently living on the estate would be willing to photograph areas within the estate that have a special meaning to them. He will provide camera AND film too

 

If anyone has any other information they would like to contribute to his exhibition then you can contact him on the below email address. please quote this blog in your email!!!

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
