Stonefield Public Park

Stonefield Public Park

Renamed in 2006 to McAnulty Park after the legendry Andrew McAnulty, "the old war horse" of the early 1900's.

The Park was a popular attraction, and from the age of about three to sixteen, it was the main playground, meeting place, winching corners, you name it.

The Co-op had their Gala day here every year.

I remember Gala Day as if it was yesterday. I was about five so it would have been 1953. Floats, Flags and Bands and everyone dressed in their Sunday best!

We were all given 1/3rd Pint of Milk and a white box which had sausage rolls and cakes in it. A great feast for a five year old.

The Sun was shining, music playing and everyone laughing and running around... it was great!
