    Kex Rec, Darton Rec, Kex junior school and Darton High School. All still there, so nowt for your story. Darton High School is a completely new build but the sporting facilities are now much better.

    Summat that has gone is the sixth form college which had quite a bit of grass, but all the sport was down at the Honeywell site which I believe is still a sports centre.

    Nowt to write about, but good news.

    The better options were:

    - The park
    - Aspin fields
    - Top fields

    Anywhere else?

    If playing footy or cricket it was on the Wombwell High School (RIP) fields
    But riding bikes building camps was on the Hillies fields between the high school and Hemingfield a lot of which is now a golf course
