Amazing memories my grandparents lived at number 5 with the red door i spent my childhood playing on those cobbles. What a superb flashback thank you for making this video
I spent most of My childhood crossing the settlement as I lived just around the corner at No5 Broadway. Our back garden backed on to the cemetary , which was quite spooky. We used to dare each other to creep through the fencing as kids which would take you into the cemetary and up to the top end of Broadway as the road spiralled around itself. Anyway we always went to the Moravian church's Spring, Autumn and Winter Fayres as well as their Bonfire nights on Nov 5th. My Grandparents also lived at 22 Fairfield Avenue from the 60s until 1983, I spent many an evening having tea there with them , after school finished. The settlement was linked to the Avenue by raster spooky pathway with the schoolgrounds in one side and the graveyard on the other. I hated walking down it coming home from school in the winter time or at night as it just had one lamp at the top end of it and a small one in the middle, it used to scare me as a kid. lol A wonderful place to spend your childhood back then. It was/is a beautiful area. Lovely to see the grounds again. Thank you for sharing this video. So glad to see it being preserved.this way. 🙂 Just to add , to hear those bells chime, I NEVER thought I'd hear that again in My lifetime, it made me quite emotional and You got a photo of My "spooky" path too! The memories have come flooding back. THANK YOU!
My friend lived on Fairfield Road, opposite the entrance to the Square, one night her father was walking along that spooky footpath and bumped into a little old lady, she was wearing all black with a scarf over her head, he apologised and carried on but glanced back to see if she was ok, only to find there was no one there.
@@CrowhillCrazy That does'nt suprise me one bit. I was walking the opposite way quite late at night once and looked up at a window of the High school to see a very similar figure as you describe looking down at me, I did a double take and she'd gone! Spooky! We also had a few incidents at out house, disturbances shall we say, that caused my Mum to take us out of there on one occassion. And another which I slept through where it was so bad we had the then Priest from the church come and pray with us and performed blessings on the house. I'd totally forgotten about all this until last year. My Dad also saw something , the spirit of a little girl. I think the first time there was disturbances were when My parents were getting divorced and the 2nd was after My mother remarried and we didn't get along with our step father. We think that the spirit was tied into whether children(us) were happy or unhappy. Very strange occurrances. I wouldn't be suprised if others who lived in the area had similar tales.
@@ladyjennyanytime5195 oh wow, when my friends dad was a young lad during WW2 he and a friend got into one of the large Victorian houses on Fairfield Avenue, it was empty and had been for a while, they went upstairs to look at the bedrooms and heard footsteps coming up the stairs and ran into a room to hide, they heard the footsteps go into the room next door and walk around, they decided to make a run for it and as they passed the room they looked in and there was no one there, but they could still hear the foot steps, they never broke into any of the empty houses ever again. I heard that the old houses on Fairfield Avenue were well known for being haunted.
@@CrowhillCrazy Yes there were certainly many a spooky going's on in those old houses. We heard stories off of other friends . I mean they're steeped in soooo much history it's not a shock to me that they are haunted especially when you think people died at home a lot more back then, young children and the elderly alike. so it's not too suprising that spirits would imprint on a property or leave some kind of residual spiritual energy behind in the form of a ghost or something. I know ours at Broadway was definitely that of a child, she was harmless until she thought us kids were upset or in danger, then she'd raise merry hell to frighten the adults. It's funny cuz the last house I lived at had a presence and that was an old lady who'd passed there and she wasn't happy at me moving in. She was very noisy and would also flush the toilet. It didn't frighten me, I just apologised to her and said I'm not here to claim her home I was just a visitor and I meant no harm. She behaved from then on in. Things like that really don't frighten me AT ALL. As long as you're respectful, the dead aren't something to be frightened of I don't feel.

Thank you, I love this area, it's like stepping back in time.

It's where my daughter went to school
What a great shame that the ambience of the Square has been utterly destroyed by the presence of parked cars.
My daughter went to Fairfield High
very good video, what camcorder were you using? Was it HD,Dv tape or Sdcard?
Thank you. I use a Panasonic HDC-SD60. It records full HD to an SDHC card.
