Gaskells delivered a lot of coal around the Wallgate streets and Marlene's dad kept his horse in their backyard off Faggy Lane.The coal men used to wear a metal studded leather cape on their back.We kept our coal under the stairs so he carried it on his back down the lobby through the back room then unloaded under the stairs.The pit men only paid about 2 bob a bag so they used to sell cheap coal to the more hard up.
Lots of memories of the old streets,momac,mostly good but one or two terrible.
