Yes, I just had a look at the map, Trittiford Park was a favourite haunt, used to catch sticklebacks and tadpoles there. And saw my first kingfisher on the River Cole thereabouts too. As kids the fords on the River Cole provided much entertainment, trying to cycle through them without falling off into them and watching cars come a cropper in them when in spate. Happy days !
Spent most of my childhood around the park and Scribers Lane ford. I probably bumped into you at some time. As you say - Happy days.
