The mention of newspaper deliveries brought back memories to my Spring Hill bloke. When he was a lad of about 13 he used to deliver newspapers from Lower Oswaldtwistle to Top End. Delivered 30 newspapers morning and 30 in the afternoon on his pushbike.
6 a.m. start for the morning ones and straight after school for the others.
The newsagent was Harold Haworth, Union Road – opposite the old Empire Cinema. Got paid 6 bob a week, which he tipped up to his mother to help out.

Those were the days…..
