Just remembered the fruit shop, Mrs Robinson's I think it was, I used to buy those little boxes of dates from there, They also sold fresh fish as well, kippers and poached eggs for tea. Cains/Ashurst's pie shop across the road at the bottom of the lane, then Annie Cappers for wool and knitting needles with my big sis. Back across the road to Mary Boardmans shop for a lucky bag and a penny dainty, with a hint of best bitter wafting from the Engineers Arms as we came out. Can't remember the name of the chap fron the paper shop who took photos of the walking days then put them in his window so folk could buy them. Then the smell of the pickle works and the tripe dressers overtook your sences.

In't it murder when tha gets agait reminiscing! As't be fradgin' like an owd woman in a bit.

PS. Keep away from that Black Tank o't top o't lane , if tha gets stuck in theer that's thee done fer.
