In the 1950's during the school holidays there was a talent competition organised for children and each had to perform on the bandstand in front of masses of children. A prize would be given for the best performer. I believe it may have been called Holidays in the Park. I am so pleased to see that it has been restored. What a life we, as children, had with Hilly Fields just at the top of our road. Even pre teen age we would play over in the park until it was quite dark in Summer before making our way home. There was nothing for children to worry about in that era.
