Yes Janet you are right, iremember Harry Shaws father when he was a very old man & harry lived with him in the terracsd house, The pig pen was where Bill Slater built his bungalow, Alf Smith sold him the land & alf promised not to keep pigs as a conditionof the sale of land,
Alf Smith owes me about £5 in wages, it was murder getting my ten bob a week off him,
Alf went to live in Glasbury Nr Warrington, he bought a small holding & him & his brother Stan built a house on the land & sold it , they bought some more land near by & built gsome more houses & that is how Alf Smiths Building firm got off the ground, He built houses in Golbourne & made quite a few bob & then sold out, He still owes me £5 but i dont think i will get it now unless i can find his daughter Lynn, The little mare as i called her, She turned out to be very pretty,
