It's a country park now, with a visitor centre and art installations. The kids hang around outside the off licence.
We had a old pit baths opposite us, Around 100 yards long , upstairs and roof top. Played football, tennis ,cricket and a lot of shooting, Upstairs was in two rooms, Great for the sling when shooting marbles, The marbles would bounce back quicker on the way back once hit the wall, You had to dodge the marbles on the way back, Got knee capped once by a rebound.
