Going up and over the bridge, my legs going like the clappers in bottom gear on my 3-speed Raleigh bike

It was better approaching from Bridge Road. you were able to get some speed up further down the road

Posh eh with gears!!! My way to the cenny was over Pennington Rd bridge, and up Harris Drive, can’t remember the side Rd left turn, mostly had my mate George on the cross bar, one day coming home via the lift bridge etc just past the salt box had a policeman tide up along side and told us off, but in a nice manner.Good old days?
