Geoff Freeman: "This is a poem I wrote in 2002 for the Evening Post Poetry Competition;"
LOTUS STREET Am I always going back home? Back to the hot summer streets of childhood, The black bubble-beaded tarmac, The echoing tribal yells, Scooters, trikes, rollerskates, The whizz and rattle of tin-and-rubber wheels. Doorstep sales and knots of gossiping aunts and grans, Pinafored mams and overalled dads. Shouldering green buses and hot black cars, Stray dogs loping loose-tongued. Washing cracking in tiny, grassless back yards. Back to the luminous sweetshop, The ice-poles in the misty banks of the freezer. The regimented jars; Jap filberts, liquorice torpedoes, Kaylai, chewing nuts, barley sugar, sherbert dabs and black-jacks. The glorious church-chime of the ice-cream van; Oyster shells, Cider Barrel, 99's and blood-red syrup. Back to Coppice Rec' and Morley Junior School, Back to the rowdy, knee scabbing and breathless playground, Dobby, skipping, chasing and footie. Vertiginous swings and the brass throat of the slide, The furious centrifuge of the roundabout. The grasshopper-haunted twilights. It's all long gone now - a long ago street, Sandwiched in the shelved maps of memory. A past redrawn, rebuilt, removed. I though the sun was always shining then, Lotus Street, burnished in the Summers Of Love. The hard world trades on, glacial, irreversible. New streets, new roads, new brick and business. But part of me is still running down Lotus Street, Plastic sandals applauding my childhood.

Lotus St - Trotts on the left hand corner, Queens Arms on the other.
Loved watching the milk bottles go round .
In my minds eye ,facing the Tin Hut Church was St Ann’s Valley
That corner shop Darceys a couple of houses then The Dairy a little bit further was the Police houses ,
before coming to the entrance for the
Hunger-hill Allotments cross over to Lotus street Twopenny drink shop on one corner ,Penrose’s Beer off on the other (a shop with two doors) a row of houses before Tin Hut ,
After that Norland Road my abode .
To me the photo is just pure happiness .

Did anyone know my mum and dad? This is their wedding photo. They were childhood sweethearts. My mum was formerly Dorothy Stone and my dad Roy Cook. They both lived on Lotus street as children. They met when he was seven and my mum was four.

"I know we remember all the forces in both wars I lost an uncle in WW2 but can we also remember the men that were told they couldn't enlist as the had to serve down the mine- the great Bevin Boys- a lot of these men were needed to get the coals out to keep the country running. My uncle was a Bevin Boy but I do feel they are the forgotten ones. Many were sent white feathers as people thought they didn't want to fight but this is so not true. My uncle was Robert Betts who lived at 2 Lotus Street - he lost his brother who served in the navy. I think these men who were in the mines served their country too xx |
