The demise of the Bank came with the closure of places like Rothwells which used to supply half of our custom.
Ah those were the days, butties at dinner time from Carley's - "built" to specification with as much mustard as you could handle.
Not in the smelly water we got down there it wasn't !!  |
Willow - are you sure the smell came from the glue-boiling? I seem to remember Kirby's Funeral Parlour was just around there! - in fact, there were two of them, because I seem to remember that the son, Alan I think, fell out with his father and opened his own place almost opposite.
