marsbar Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Any of you from springs??Hi ThomasMy parents and grandparents were originally from Springs (actually i was born there). Must admit i have not been back for last couple of years - although whenever we were in the area my parents would take us sightseeing - the house we lived in, their old business etc etc - must admit i have very fond childhood memories of the place - when all the cousins would get together and play in the park until late in the afternoon - many, many, many, many, many years ago... Anyway welcome to Perth and the forum.Mariette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest B H Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Hi Thomas - Isn't it strange how there is ALWAYS someone from Springs? We really get around, I've noticed it often over the years. Ja, sorry to say I'm a Springs Girls High old girl & husband is a Springs Boys High old boy, how boring, huh? In fact we slept at my in-laws house in Strubenvale last night, and we'll be in Selcourt & Casseldale tomorrow. Want anything done there? Let me know. We live in Pretoria but can't seem to get away due to our huge families in, yes, you guessed it, Springs! By the way, did you go to SBHS? I note that my younger brother & sister are a bit closer to you in age.Bye, Bronwyn PS. Marsbar, would that have been at the duckpond on Nigel road that you played?

marsbar Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 (edited) PS. Marsbar, would that have been at the duckpond on Nigel road that you played? No it was not - we played in a park within a suburb called Pietersfield - that is where my grandparents lived. I have no doubt that the park does not exist today.....

TMB Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hi MarsbarIf you are talking about the park on Kruger street, it had a tennis club next to it, you are right, the club and the park has been cleared, and the built a whole lot of townhouses there. The other park that was near a circle, and shops, was also changed into townhouses. The duckpond still exists. It is so sad, most of the parks in Springs was sold to "private developers" raise funds for the new Ekuruleni Metro counsil to pay "outstanding bills" yeah right.That is why I love it here, so many parks, that are so clean, and well maintained.TMB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small world!Who is your brother? BronwynHey Bron, his name is Richard Compere. I did dance lessons with Rosemary Wilson (Souter) - she used to give lessons at Selcourt Primary too. When I left Cape Town, her daughter was teaching ballet there! Such a small world! Lv Noeks x Edited October 3, 2006 by Noeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
