I grew up on Lindsay Ave in the 1940's and we respected our elders and property in those days, Lived alongside McDermots ,Greens, Lovells Fryers . And we hadsome great names playing for TRINTY Then

Pussyville compared to Streethouse

They don't call that Streethouse I think they call it Snydale villas or something like that - I wonder why

I lived in Kinsley and Grimethorpe, now that was a tough upbringing

All you lupset wallers, can you remember seeing "dean of ossett" plastered everywhere on rd signs and walls or is this something I dreamt? Seem to remember seeing it everywhere but not having a clue who it was? Anyone know? Lupset in the 70's loved it.

That rings a bell - there was quite some rivalry between Lupset and Ossett, hence the regular meet ups to fight it out on the fields that bordered both (which incidentally, have now been turned into a Country Park, with the beautiful vistas of Lupset on one side and the M1 on the other) so maybe Dean was tagging all over Lupset as a display of provocative bravado?

I agree with you by the way - it was a great place to grow up, despite appearances.

Lupset, Sharlston, Streethouse - yer a avin a laf . Growing up in Sandal during the 70's was a tough place to be.

Clearly not from Sandal.

Must have been real tough only having 2 en suite bathrooms in your 6 bedroom house. My heart bleeds for you

Exactly - can you imagine having to keep that lot clean ! And that was in the days when you cleaned with soap, water and newspaper - none of your new fangled detergents and all purpose cleaning cloths.

Good to know that you at least had some empathy for the hired help below stairs.
