The ‘Con Club’, Sports and Social Club was used as an entertainment venue for concerts, plays and pantomimes. ‘Winter Wonderland’ was one when I would have been 7. My mother was in the show, I wanted to go all the time to watch it.
I went with my grandmother one night and couldn’t understand why my dad wasn’t there, and apparently he took one of the women’s places because they were ill.

There were tennis courts where the 8 council houses are that were built in 1949. Before they were built, it was allotments during the war. I remember Mick’s aunt used to play. We used to play tennis didn’t we, on Mrs Hamilton’s courts where the Glen is, next to the Sports Club? The tennis court was Tennyson Road end and opposite her place, ( The Wight House) so she had to cross the road. Annette Haynes and Pat Burt b 1929
