Re: What memories would you liked to of shared??

Bob Wilkinsons on Nuttall street....that was the iron mongers that we went to.....it smelled of Lamp oil and moth balls....unless he had just had a delivery of coal bricks, then it smelled of coal dust.
Blowers, at the bottom of Church Street smelled of sawdust and coffee...they would grind a quarter of coffee beans for their customers.....I never heard anyone ask for more than a quarter of coffee.
