The wooden clothes horse with an old blanket - yes I remember it so well, many happy memories of that in the back garden alongside jam butties, a biscuit and a bottle of pop.
Also, a visit to ashton market on Saturday afternoon to the drapers stall for a sixpenny bundle - ribbon, lace with odds and ends of material for us girlies to make clothes for our dolls.
