Good day to you all,I would like to add that both my Grandmothers were born in Wallgate and both were Victorian factory girls and both worked very hard all there lives.My fathers mother died in her 50's due to ill health.As you know there was no N.H.S.until 1948 and by this time she was to ill to be treated.My other Grandmother lived in Great George Street and was left with 7 children to bring up on her own.She was always going out to work or coming in from work,or working in the house.Washing and ironing for people office cleaning anything to put a meal on the table.She worked at Mordsleys jam works until she was 72, she said for every year she worked over 60, she got an extra 6p on her pension.That was the work ethic everyone had,because it was work or starve.All I can say is,These were very very hard times and if nothing else at least there was SOME work to do IF you wanted it.
