That takes me back.... I remember Mr Telford and his wife in their shop in Wellington St. Sometimes on the way to Scholes Pictures we would go in there for toffees. It was a spotless shop.

I remember Ted the window cleaner as well with his bucket and ladder in John St. He used to clean our windows until my mam made me clean them. She would hold onto me while I cleaned the upstairs windows -with me sat on the outside and the sash window pulled up! Talk about child cruelty !!!!****
