Bernie Ryman recalls Cooksey Lane playing fields

Re Cooksey lane Playing Fields I was always under the impression that is was a gift to the public from Cadbury’s. There was no hut there, but a large Pavilion, with snooker tables, table tennis, changing rooms for the Soccer players etc. There was also a canteen which sold sandwiches, tea, and coffee. We had two horse used mainly for pulling the mowers. He (father) also worked two days a week at the Kingstanding Community Centre which was all part of his work.
