Chesterfield Discussion / Re: Hady -
« on: March 31, 2017, 04:45:59 PM »
Sorry OC but I flew the nest mid seventies. I don't think anyone had a brick outer skin built then because the NCB hadn't disposed of the housing stock by then. I do remember seeing brick skins appear when visiting. The only name I remember my parents using was referring to the blocks of 3 which they called Wimpeys. I assume they were built by Wimpey. They never referred to the blocks of 4 as Wimpeys.

Hady was built around 1953 onwards. My parents, now both passed, moved into their home on Lee Road in 1954 around 6 months after my birth. The houses were owned by the Coal Board until the Board sought to sell them on prior to dissolution of the NCB. I think my parents bought their house in the late seventies since their home would have transferred to a new landlord. They did get the house at a reasonable discount.

It seems odd that the old LD&ECR viaduct at Carr Vale was demolished as it was no longer in use and unsafe due to mining subsidence only to build a new high speed route through the area. I suppose now the mining industry has been destroyed, the land has probably settled. Shame on the decision makers.

How long before an assassination attempt is made, I wonder? with so much hate swirling around.

We used to have swimming lessons from Hasland Junior school early to mid sixties if my memory serves me correct. I think the school was called Harry Cropper school at some point.

There did seem to be a lot of senior citizens enjoying the recent 40's theme in town last Thursday.

It certainly looks that way although there seems to be a small clique. I have noticed spaces being 'saved' by regulars for other regulars by leaving inaccessible places. Then, as if by magic, after a bit of shunting, the space is filled by another regular. I would probably get a ticket if I parked here.

Perhaps there will now be some closure for the Needhams. Very sad.

The items are only small, the size one might have in a small flat. No excuse for dumping them I reckon.
