I went to school with Carol Nelson too. Our other friend, Helen Kirk, lived in the Crown (Tong Road). Does anyone else remember the name of the big building at the back of Thornhill Road petrol station? It was a very posh club/pub when i was a kid and the gardener used to chase us out when we sneaked over the wall Yes, she went to both! (not at the same time obviously) - but to complicate things a bit further although I know she knew Carol I think it was her sister (2 years older) who was in the same year as Carole (and you I suppose) and knew her better.Sisters initials (then) J.M. - ring any bells???

Can't remember their names but no doubt I would if I was reminded. Old age is a terrible thing. Does Janet have an e-mail address so i could contact her? If you tell her that it's the other Carol (C.B) with gingerish, yucky hair she should remember me. Do you realise you could start a whole new website now, Armley Reunited.
