I used to take my daughters in there when they were young.
My wife spent her childhood in there on school holidays when it was safe for young kids to be out and she used to walk there from just off Carterknowle Road.
In the days when it was safe.
Now a days most kids are driven to school.
UTB
Lazy bastards. Is it any less safe than we were kids? When I was little the Moors Murderers had just been caught. We still walked to school. I have vague memories of a kid around my age being asked to get in a car with a strange bloke and we were always being told not to get into cars with strangers etc. There was a lot of fear in those days but people just got on with it.
Now we've got a generation of fat asthmatics.
Of course in those days you went to your nearest school unless your parents could afford otherwise. Made things a lot simpler.

True story about the Earl Grey. Me and my mates called in for a couple on the way to town one night ,as we left a car came hurtling towards us revving like mad ,we dodged it and it flew over the kerb and went straight through the window of the Grey into the seats where we had been sat a few minutes earlier. Sadly it was an old man who died at the wheel before he crashed. Probably the first time I questioned my mortality.

Mum went there too, or so she tells me. She was born in 1936 so I doubt there's many on here were there at that time. She was actually quite upset when they flattened it.

Ah, Denby Street! I went there until we moved to Totley in 1978

Mind you, we only had to walk down from Asline Road - I lived where, roughly, the perimeter fence ends behind the medical centre. :)
