Hi Stozzie, old son!
I remember a garage being built on Woodrow Hill, in front of the
allotments. Is this what you are calling Mulberry Gardens? The
mulberry path went behind the bottom section of the Hollings, under
the railway bridge, and down to Mickie, passing close to the pit
yard.The garage was built and owned, initially I believe, by Arthur
Marsh,who had some sort of transport business up the lane at the
side of Dr Dennis's surgery, can't recall the name of the lane, but
Parsonage something or other comes to mind. I don't know if Frank
Cooper of Oulton was connected with it at some stage. You must be
quite a young sprog if you don't remember the area before the
garage. Also, you mentioned going to the doctor's in the 70's. I can
remember going in the 1940's when Dr Eric William Lonsdale White was
the medic. He was later joined by Dr Woofenden.
