Mary's Memories
My name is Mary and I went to live in Casterton Gardens in Seacroft when I was seven years old. I lived there until I married in 1962 and I spent some of the happiest years of my life there. I also made friends that still remain to this day.
My mother, father and four sisters lived in a fourbedroom house. In the summer we would go with my parents on one of our nice evening walks, which was to go through the cow field and come out on York Road at the side of the old York Road near the old Lion and Lamb public house. They did not have a beer garden but they did have a small yard with a table and bench seat where we would sit for a lemonade before the walk home down South Parkway.
Sadly, in August last year we lost one of our sisters, but on the day of her funeral it was so nice that a lot of the girls who had been our friends in Casterton Gardens were there with us, which was much appreciated.
