Reading about knocker uppers, while I didnt use any, I certainly do emember them, I do remember when there was always a night watchman whenever a hole that had been dug in the road, he would sit in a little sentry type box with a brazier(hope Ive spelt that reet) in front stoked up with coke, and does any one remember going for coke from the gasworks in Hindley, I certainly did, as well as wooden blocks cut from the ends of wagon bottoming planks from the wagon works on Manchester road
