I WAS AT HORSLEY GREEN RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL IN 1954 AND VISITED THE CAVES REGULARLY AT THE WEEKENDS IN THOES DAYS IT WAS ALSO POSSIBLE TO CLIMB UP INTO THE BALL ON THE TOP OF THE CHURCH WHICH WAS QUITE SCARY.
Can anybody recommend any books on the Irish Hell-Fire Clubs?
OMG HELL FIRE CAVES ARE SOO SCARY EPECIally the zombie lady – she kept following me and my mates we were peeing ourselves
many happy times on the
sleges in the mid thirties
the ladies from the cotages
sold us bottles of parsfin to
put on the sledge runners to
make them run faster
the ball was very shaky and
tatty no gold paint around
