Playmates- Graham,David on the bike,Trevor,as we roamed around the area of Beech Walks. Possible that the tunnel is below us so this is just up from the Lodge Gates on Wigan Road.Looking back on that era of late 50's/early 60's we "kids" were allowed our freedom to roam for hours on end only coming home for meals during the day.(no watches worn then just hunger)

I love this type of photo, brings back memories of living at Holland Moor in the late 1940s/early 50s. Taking off on our bikes with a jam sandwich & a bottle of pop. As you say Barrie no watches or mobile phones and we even would knock on some strangers door for a drink of water when the pop ran out. We survived to tell the tale, carefree days !

Great picture. I have one, of me and my brother, with just about identical clothes on. Ahhh, those were the days.
