Bartie's Town

[janwhin]

Driving from North to South Broomhill yesterday, it suddenly struck me. Who was Bartie!

Good question , but it wasn't much of a town . I do remember the Country Parks ,I'm sure it was called that but the Tree Tops also rings a bell .I used to have a drink there but that was a long ,long time ago !

Country Parks and the Tree Tops were attempts to make the former Coop a going concern again.

From the references I have come across to Barties Town it would appear to have been about 4 houses, so as you say not much of a town

My grandfather lived at Barties town the window on the very top right was the bedroom on the top floor flat consisted of the bedroom living romm and kitchen ( they used a tin bath . There were 6 dwellings in Barties town and I used to play with a pal at farm cottages. My grandfather looked after the horses at the then
Co-op where he did milk deliveries on a horse and cart.

Hi BhB, do you have an old photo of the area?
It would be nice to see.
I think the name has been perpetuated into a new housing development.

"Barties Town is still in existence. it is the houses, about four or five, opposite where the Tree Tops or Country Parks used to be. Next to the telephone exchange.
