Did you ever play "Ledgies?"

Googling, the only references I can find to the word as a game seem to be from Blogs written by Hamiltonians, and more specifically, East Enders.

I never played Ledgies because I was afraid / too superior to ask how it was played.

I'm getting the impression it's a Hamilton thing. :)

I can't even imagine what such a wall would look like. Was it angled or did it have projections or...?

Look above the first floor set of windows. You can see a protruding ledge, that sticks out a few inches. That was the ledge needed for "ledgies."

Okay, I looked at Lee's post but I'm still not grokking... Wouldn't that result in a lot of broken windows?

Around the side and back of the school, there are larger spaces between windows. And, IIRC, a lot of the windows at the back were covered with plastic sheets when I was a kid.

Though, [livejournal.com profile] commanderteddog went to the same school ten years later, and she informs me that they were only allow to bounce walls against 1960s gym annex, which has no ledges. Thus, ledgies no more!
