HI Steve. yep watched the programme on TV. in fact sure that was me riding on the llama, which I did quite often and the elephant too. Lived near Belle Vue so went in quite often. I got a lump in my throat to see all the old places, we sometimes went in through those iron gates that made a funny noise at Lake Entrance. I dont know if they were still there when you went there. I went to Belle Vue during the l940's and l950's, before your time Im sure.
Fond memories, then I took my children there years after. I was also a keen "Belle Vue Aces" fan. I also enjoyed all the filming of the whit-walks very nostalgic - getting all your finery on for the special day. Aunties Uncles and grandparents used to put a shilling in your pocket if you visited them on Whit-week. They still have the Whit walks here in Heywood, but they dont have such a big turnout as years gone by.

Nice to see the old films though.

marie.

I enjoyed the program , Stewart Hall is the perfect voice for it. Isnt it a shame that England had the lead on so many things such has Belle Vue but never expanded on it.

benji: Hi Jack sorry to see the posts are still scarce and sorry I havn't dropped in more often. United are not giving you any joy either. I suppose you saw the Liverpool thriller what an embarrasment I hope they can pick themselves up for the Spurs game on Sat Oct 28, 2021 19:40:01 GMT -1

jackaitch: Good morning Benji so happy to see a posting ( I still check every morning( yes it was a disgusting exebition last Sat Liverpoool All the yellow cards did not help and Ronaldo what can I say??? TV covered it too for all the worlld to see Oct 29, 2021 10:35:57 GMT -1

benji: Hi Jack nice to hear you have a look at at my post and give me your opinion! Do you think Ronaldo is good for United or is he the trouble. Pogba is the problem i think. I hope Ole can turn thing round dont you. Oct 29, 2021 19:56:51 GMT -1
