Great Pics of the business end City wise,of my Fav.river.Best remembered by following it along to Foss island Rd,Foss bank,under Monk Bridge,past Dennison St,along Huntington Rd,past the old workhouse building,under Iron Bridge Railway(now cycle path),up to the bridge at Foss Way.Thats the place,where we played as kids with cane rod and bent pin or fishing net to catch the tiddlers that abounded near the large drainpipe that out flowed from the Fever Hospital,into the river.Looking back I wonder we did’nt catch any thing nasty,but maybe we were tough enough to resist infections then.
The adjoining King Georges Field was our big juvenile team game area/picking sides for football/cricket /rugby,and hide and seek type games
by all the youngsters in the Fossway,Dodsworth Avenue and Pottery Lane area’s,some very strong rivalries were resolved that way!
