Hockey in Windmill Park 1971

A delightful photograph of a very happy group of P7 pupils from Newport School, learning their hockey skills up in Windmill Park from PE teacher Margaret Wright. By the time this photograph was taken in 1971, the road bridge, and of course the link dual carriageway, had been open for nearly 5 years. Access to Windmill Park had become much more difficult, and indeed dangerous, and Margaret remembers stopping the traffic on the dual carriageway to allow her classes to cross!
