Sharp Bonks
 

I have just added a few more photos to the "Hyndburn Then & Now" Album on my Picasa WebSite. One of the captions refers to "Sharp Bonks" which was a term widely used in the "old days". Just wondered if any other Accywebber was familiar with the expression.

Cheers, Bert, first time I've seen that for years! When I was a toddler, I used to walk up there with my mum on our way back to Broadfield Road. She never called it "Sharp Bonks", though. She always called it "The Donkey Steps".
