is there any body out there that can remember the old Laygate
Lane School. It used to have a bell tower which used to toll, and
if you werent in line when it stopped, you were late for school.
Right at the end of the lane passed the infants school was
the scrap yard Dixons where you took all your used jam jars,
beer bottles etc. and further along was steels lemonade factory.

I remember it well, and also the Lily Like flowers which used to grow in abundance over the wall looking down to the railway line.

I can also remember my sister getting spiked through the thigh when she tried to climb over the school railings. she didn't escape though; they took her back inside.
