I have quite a few old photos of the area, Do I remember you saying you lived in Bradley bungalows or Watling street?

I’m at Shields at the min I’m going to drive past in 10 mins or so. I’ll look out for Dell number plates ;)

I was on Tommy Southern's rag & bone cart, in Leadgate, when I was 7 years old.

I'd have to put the nosebag on the horse while he went in the Hat & Feathers.

One in every 10 ten times he'd come out with some miner, still filthy from the pit, wanting to fight him ....

... the men would gather round, making bets, while Tommy knocked them into space :lol:

I'd sit on the cart laughing while I ate the sarnies and drank the lemonade he'd brought out ...

... happy innocent days when everyone made their own entertainment :cool:
