[Margaret Pilkington]

And were you told to 'Stop thi mitherin'.......?

I remember buying Donkey stones at Bob Wilkinsons Hardware shop on Nuttall St in Accrington......we used to have wax tapers as well as spills......the spills were rainbow coloured and I used to play with them...... My Auntie lived in Walsden and she still had gaslight up until 1970 when she left her little cottage and moved into a HFE.
