Why have all the gravestones gone? My wife Julie (Tring)lived in the Aviarys 60’s & 70’s and knocked around this area & the Avenues as a schoolgirl. Her best friends were Janet Day, Elizabeth Ward...Janet lived in the Aviarys & Lizzy lived down Lamb Hill before it was all demolished. There’s another video called 70’s Rules Apply In Armley Leeds. Does anyone know when it was made? Julie says the faces are familiar she’s sure Victor was at Armley Park school? Anyway thanks for reading. Any info gratefully received.👍
When I spoke to the vicar prior to filming he had mentioned the the gravestones were all removed due to "Health and Safety" they were falling over due to age and if they fell on someone it would be a liability.. although more likely that the local youth were kicking them over and best remove the temptation rather than the risk of broken ankles and court cases.
Julie here David, thanks for the reply and info. I think the second reason was probably more realistic don’t you! Armley seems to have changed a lot... the old swimming baths where I learnt to swim (castleton school) have gone and there’s lots of new buildings opposite Armley Park school and also where the Hopes used to stand. I used to live in the Aviary’s. Went to Armley Park & Silver Royd School. I believe that’s gone as well.
Nicely done, i like filming churches with my P3, did the Marble church north wales a little while back
wonderful
