Mick. I don’t remember the number of the house on Rutland Street. It was about 7 or 8 houses up on the left looking up from Blackburn Road. I remember it being a little run down and the doors didn’t fit the holes.

In the mornings you would find slug trails everywhere and the Mice would challenge you the slightest scrap of food. I remember my girlfriend going white with fear when she saw foot prints in the lard that was left in the frying pan.

Can I say at this point that it was in the late 70s and the house wasn’t continuously occupied? It was used by my father for storage and occasional nights when he was off duty from Calderstones. It was a clean house but the condition of the door steps made them like Motorways for local wildlife. Very Happy memories.
