    I lived in Netherley between 69 and 85. We on the Wimpey Estate; which had St.Gregory's, The Blue Peter, The Turtle, The Falcon, The Boxing Club; always considered the Woodlands Estate posh! I do recall the locals there even tried to say it was Gateacre. LOL

    Then there was the Unit Estate which Brittage Brow was part of.

    Then at the top of Wood Lane where the 79 and 73a buses terminated were the posh people. Always thought they were private houses on the Woodlands.

    Good article.
