@@johnrogers6705 I lived down Battle Road until I was 11 in 1982 & then moved to Falkland Road after that......but if we weren't up the common or the woods would end up cycling around the estate or go for adventures in Penwood or The Chase. It was a great time & place to be a kid :)

@@MrMattw975 1982 I was 8, but when I got my Raleigh Burner in 1985 would also be cycling around the estate as far as Penwood or The Chase. Would go for miles and spend all day riding around. The hills was great fun going down but not so fun coming back home.
