I lived in Openshaw Road as a child in the early seventies. I went to Alexander McLeod school then later, Abbey Wood school in Eynsham drive. It was quite a nice place to live at the time with the row of local shops on McLeod Road. The end one was a wet fish shop that also did fish and chips. My mum grew parsley in our garden and would sell it to the shop. I went back to visit a few years ago with my brother and they still had the old red and white Perspex sign in the window which I thought was great. We even bought some chips in there for old times sake. I think it has changed hands now. We then headed up towards the co op and at the other end of that row used to be the Launderette. It was a cafe at our time of visit. The lady who ran it had no idea of its previous use as we had a chat and a cup of tea. Bostall gardens was a shock! We used to live in Viola Avenue and the park was posh with a park keeper who would chase kids out if they weren’t accompanied by an adult. The once pristine bowling green was just a weed pit but I believe that some people have now tidied up the park and it looks a lot better. I should really go back for another visit. Our former school looked derelict and I was told they were building a new school in the grounds before they knocked the old one down which had asbestos in it along with the swimming pool with gym above next door. It was sad to come back to my childhood home to find it a sad shadow of what I remembered. Perhaps I should stay away and just keep the happy memories of what once was 😀 Melanie (then) Taylor
