Don’t you think the photo could of been taken from the Sidlaw side of the field & the houses are those in Finchale Avenue?
Not sure that this is Billingham Tech sports field. The houses in the background do not look like Sidlaw Road which did not have terraced housing at that end of the road, they were built pre war and the new end of Sidlaw Rd after the 2nd world war. Might be wrong but sure I am not, now watch the clever ones make me look foolish.
The hockey field looks like the Billingham Technical College. Can you remember any of the other girls names in the photo Janette?
Yes that is me! all of 54 years ago – wonderful days.
Is that Janette Bates in the photo 3rd from the right challenging for the ball?
