Many thanks for your efforts, 'Arry. I've got the picture you sent, by copying the link in your post and pasting into my address box! Excellent photo, by the way. Cheers. I vaguely remember the opening to Corrie now, having seen the photo.I'm at work now, but I'll have a go at getting the image to show up on here, when I get home.

Hey! aicha a clever guru!So glad you were able to up/Down?load it. Was going scatty here(You've noticed?). There should be a simpler way of transfering fotos as in email progs.Right,mate would you like the other two of Rosebank View? I shan'tbother the 'bucket' boys if you can provide me with a downloading procedure!Hope your Dad will be pleased to be proved right!By the way, That whole area was reclaimed a three or four years ago,and it looks very nice as a long steep slope down from Bellevue Road down to Westfield Road.An 'all grassed' area with trees and plants and a winding path from top to bottom. There is a sapling growing up from where our 'coal hole' was in Rosebank View! I think it's now classed as a Heritage Site with a big board with all the details of how it looked as streets, including bomb damage in 1941. The board is at the top of the feature approachable via a ginnel off Bellevue Road, or from the end of Rosebank Road (remains of!).Alternatively, you can climb up the path from Westfield road if you are 100% fit! Worth a look. I just hope the yobbos haven't desecrated it since. They don't have ParkRangers anymore!It was officially opened by Hillary Benn MP. It was in the YEP.Enough for today. Hope to hear soon!Cheers Arry Awk

Hi MunkiAppreciate ure offers of help and I'll certainly send an email (or two!) direct to you c/w snaps. Be warned!CheersArry Msg reply for IMOR herewith;Hi Imor. Yes you are right in thinking that the Rosebank Millennium Green was started in 2000! I found a foto last night in a folder dated 2000! It was of self and wife taken close by the notice board.Didn't realise it was so long ago! Anyway,as I said to ScandyBramley yesterday, the reclaimed site is(Was?) well worth a look.Must have another skeg at it before long and hope it hasn't reverted to its old fly-tipping paradise! Hope not.I am trying to find the YEP cutting about the good lady whostarted the whole idea of the green. There is a foto also of the opening ceremony showing her and Hillary Benn MP snipping the ribbon!At one time I suggested that Bryan Mosley (Alf Roberts in 'Corrie')would be the Ideal person for the Opening Ceremony as he was a neighbour of mine in Rosebank View in the '40s, but sadly.he diednot long after my suggestion. He was all for it at the time too.All for now IMOR, watch out for further installments!Cheers Arry

Stuff from arry awk...I lived at the top of the steps on the right ,in the View. 2nd house down! This 'Hollow', as we called it,was brilliant for 'war games'!Hope you have noticed, there are TWO lamp posts depicted also! On the one in the foreground,our gang used to leap off the wall and grab hold and swing on the projecting ladder bracket!yes,and we DID go round in the evenings at dusk and 'back-heel' the post to trip the pilot flame, causing the mantle to ignite! Memories! Can u post that bit in your 'Old Gaslamp' thread? Might be of interest!
